    You have gone cross eyed you change your position so often each time the wind blows, and with such vehemence.

    You can't know what's best for the Rockets, how could you trust your own flakey judgement from minute to minute?

    He doesn't prefer the Pistons. He just wants to be the first pick.

    What's Mobley's reason for refusing to workout for us again? Was there one?

    There's a rumor that there's some sort of beef between he or his dad and KPJ from his time at USC.


    Or could be the fact that we want one of the two guards and he knows it.

    I don't understand how you could still be on the Mobley train after the man straight rejected Rockets, the Green v Mobley was fun but its time to get serious now. Its time to take things for real, you cant infatuate yourself with a player like you have for the past 30 days.... Do you realize that if Houston takes Green, you just hyped up a Cavs player that is clearly the number 3 pick. I think you want to prove everyone else wrong so bad that you forget what is right and Green is the right pick for Houston...

    And that’s the mentality that shows Green is going to be a star.

    I will support Green and root like hell for him if a Rocket.

    But Mobley is the more unique player with the higher upside.

    That has nothing to do with who Rockets decide to draft.

    I felt that same way if Mobley was drafted. Once Green is drafted I'm really interested in seeing what we do at 23 and 24.

    *IF* the Rockets take Green, my guess is they view Green's upside "more achievable" than Mobley's perceived upside.

    And the same would be said for Detroit and taking Cunningham.

    Where did this rumor start? I'm asking because Eric Mobley (Evan's dad) retweets Kevin Porter doing well in the Pro-Am and stuff. If he didn't like Porter, I doubt he'd be retweeting his successes. Maybe Evan has something against Porter, but is all this stuff just rumor with really no evidence out there?

    Did he see it in Duncan's eyes?

    Durant's?

    In any event, go GREEN.

    Rockets have made their choice and I'm a Rockets fan.

    Sounds like Paul George and Roy Hibbert situation.

    Somebody speculated if there was some potential friction between KPJ and Mobley’s dad in one of these threads since KPJ is an alum, got in trouble there and dad works there. Another poster combined that take with ch44 saying his dad was the reason he won’t work out for us and viola, instant made up rumor. I’ve tried to point that out a couple of times, but I guess it’s taken wings. There was really nothing else to it. Crazy how this stuff gets started. Sources!

    Just three more days, I sort of feel like the next few days will be bumpy... Rumors and leaks and a whole lot of negativity. Many teams disliked us already, and we actually control our destiny Thursday night with an incredible opportunity to draft a great young player. He may not live up to what we hope he will be or maybe he exceeds anything we can imagine right now but at the end of the day what matters most is that no matter Mobley Mob or Green Gang we are all Rockets fans.... In 3 days a new era officially begins...

    I watch Jalen Green play...he's got a lot of rough edges but that's expected at his age. Whats not expected is how he is able to ball out against grown men. College ball is great but G League is full of grown men who are trying to make a paycheck and a name for themselves. Different environment.

    Jalen Green hands down is the future. Him and Scoot about to eat.
