Even if we have the worst record, do you honestly believe we'll get the top pick?

Even if we have the worst record, do you honestly believe we'll get the top pick?

  1. Yes. And, I still believe in Santa Claus & the Easter Bunny.

  2. No - It's rigged. Too much talent here already.

  3. Maybe, maybe not...I don't know. But it's not rigged.

    *Rockets land #1 overall pick*

    Stone: “There’s no guarantee we keep the pick”

    Who knows? But that's hardly an indicator of something being rigged. Many sports do the same with all kinds of draws, I just find it incredulous that people all think it's rigged like any professional organisation or league owner would sign up to that. The league would have the same credibility as the WWE does.

    May Adam Silver have mercy on us. I really feel Wemby could turn this thing around for us and everything will be fine. However, I’m with you, I think we will end up with Hendrix or Thompson.

    Gimme Jarace Walker if no Wemby or Scoot. He’s already way better than Brickari

    I get what you're trying to say, but our first #1 pick was Elvin Hayes, then John Lucas, then Ralph Sampson, and then Hakeem & Yao. :D

    The Spurs have scouted him harder than any other organization. They were over there to meet him a couple weeks ago and they have been sending people to watch his games.

    For his part he claims he will go wherever he is drafted and doesn’t have favorites.

    If the Rockets by some miracle end up getting him and draft him, I’m sure Silas and Stone will have him setting screens for Porter 30 feet from the basket.

    All we have to do is force Silver to sit through one game and he will have no choice put to give us the #1 pick out of pity

    I don't understand the second option. Too much talent?!?

    I see a Rockets roster full of bozos, dipshits and jabronis. Too much talent to be given the #1 pick LOL

    It's rigged!! No way the league lets us get Green-Bari plus top 2



    And OKC won't get. Chet with Wembanyama

    The ping pongs probably have a digital chip within that can change the logos

    You do know the term conspiracy theory was created by the CIA right after the 9/11 op right?

    You do know that in the recent past that J Jones was quoted saying he doesn't own the Boys but is just running the institution?

    No the Rothschild are the decoy/pay collectors for the Payseur family, which I Am pretty sure you haven't heard of them

    Its why the CIA created the CT term, to use it as a deflection tactic to make those like you not believe those who actually do the knowledge on on stuff and call a spade a spade

    The only thing that was wack(o) was your dulocracy reply, kudos to you for that

    CIA directive 1035(960) was used as a mind control program to be used on people with weak intellect that could not handle info that once injected it would give them the out so they wouldn't have to develop their mind enough to go and research what is actually true......Conspiracy Theory came from this

    If the shoe fits.....you know the rest

    if I'm wemby, i'm praying that the rockets don't get the first pick. we're easily and i mean easily the most unattractive team to be a part of. Wizards are probably a close 2nd.

    It would make for much better TV if they televised the number drawings.
