    I still wish we could come out of the draft with Sheppard and Edey. Sengun, Bari, Adams, Edey would be a great 4/5 rotation.

    The Sengun haters are apparently illiterate as well.
    NO offered BI for Alp and the rockets flat out said no, from the report.

    More size makes sense for any team in our division now.

    Size that can play makes sense, but Clingan and Edey are light years away from Yao Ming, on both ends.

    I’d rather have a 6-9 guy that can actually hoop. See Al Horford… Lumbering, lesser talented, Gobert-esque bigs are about to be over-coveted by the copycat masses.

    Don’t bite. Solid bigs that are just big can be found in Free Agency. We have one of the best in Steven Adams.

    Players who are good at basketball and who maybe can shoot a basketball make even more sense

    But how do you know its not still on the table?

    N.O must know something if they ask for Sengun, rather than one of the other players, don't you think?

    We know the Rockets put Sengun on the table last yr, is he on the table again?

    You think that.
    We don’t “know” anything. All we for sure know is the Rockets have spurned any offers for Alp, as they should being by far the best player on the team.

    Jordan was never a high assist guy not even top 50 anymore. No where near what Luka or Harden level. It would probably serve the rockets/Mavs better if they take th e ball out of their hands more. Not a coincidence that both of their best years were with another dominant guard.

    Yeah, not quite, my 3 Labs usually don't let me relax for more than hour when my office door is open.
    Castle going #1 to a team that already has 2 PGs seems weird, unless they know someone really likes him and would trade to #1 to get him (WAS, SAS, ??).

    I don’t see SA trading to #1 for Castle. With so many teams wanting to trade up or down like the Rockets, I see the Spurs standing pat while their players fall right into their laps.

    Yeah, I really don't think anyone would likely trade up to #1, but it's unusual for ATL to want to add a 3rd guard unless they're trading a current player or trying to gauge interest in who might want certain prospects.

    This dude is from Kentucky and eats salmon for pre-game meals. Wth. Where's the burgoo, mutton bbq, hot brown, etc.? Damn, dude.
    Then he doesn't play games?

    Sounds like a winner to me. Draft him. Despite the fact he'll probably catch the Rockets curse where his 3 pt shooting will be around 32% or something. :(

    Let me tell you why I think the Rockets should trade Sengun, similarly as to why the Pacers traded Sabonis.

    What other team in the NBA has a center that is their main hub on offense and gets his points strictly in or near the paint?

    And before you say Philly and Denver, Embiid and Jokic can get their points either inside or outside.

    Yeah, all intact boys too!!! We have a father (Leonidas), his brother (Baron) from same mom/dad, and son of Leo (Maximus). They're definitely a handful (Ages 3, 2 and 1), but all great dogs. How is your Labradoodle?
