    I mean I get people thinking the draft pick is a positive.

    That is until Tilman sends the directive to attach the draft pick to a contract so he can get it off his books.

    Who truly believes that's not going to happen with some of these picks we have now?

    The draft pick is, at worst, a trade asset that was needed with an otherwise empty cupboard. Westbrook wouldn't have made any difference for this team compared to Wall.

    The damage was done when Westbrook was acquired. Wall is irrelevant to the success of the team in the future and at this rate should just be viewed as a dead weight cap hit, or perhaps a little bit more optimistic: an extra coach who can help mentor the younger players.

    At this rate I'd just about take the risk in trading Wood and/or Tate if the return could result in a top-5 pick or similar talent.

    I think when Chris Paul got His Hamstring Injury and When he signed the Albatros Contract.

    I was thinking at the time the Rockets are desperate. I had no idea Chris Paul was still not recovered from that injury.

    The Chris Paul Injury carried the whole off-season, Chris Paul did not get in shape and carried on throughout the season. Chris Paul in the Playoffs was nonexistent.

    Chris looked overweight, Slow, Hobbled. Defenders are connected at his hip ready to block his shot. His lack of height didnt help either.
