You're acting like the Rockets kept their 12th pick. They drafted Lamb because he was the best player available, instead of drafting a player to fill a backup role. Plus, with Lamb, the Rockets were able to trade and get Harden in return.
Look at all these response! Draft Kendell Marshal after we trade Harden with Lamb? this is the reason why even God gives us 2nd chances in life, we'd still mess it up, ppl.
On draft night New Orleans wanted to trade their #10 for our #12 & #16 which Morey declined. He should have accepted! We still get J. Lamb at #10 & T. Jones at #18, trade Lamb in the Harden deal & we would have been able to keep Livingston or J. Johnson as a result. Ole well, Morey still doesn't have a contract extension & we'll just have to see what happens.
If you're gonna have a do-over, this is about the worst way to do it. Zeller or Sullinger would have been great fits on this team at 16.
Tyler Zeller (who was selected @ #17), taking the chance that Terrence Jones would still be there @ #18.
