    A top 10 pick for just KJM? I don't see it. You're surely not getting an unprotected one to increase Wemby odds. That's fantasy land.

    Imagine if a tanking team calls up stone.

    If Detroit offered Killian Hayes (7th pick) or Saddiq Bey (19th pick), two of their guys, where like KJ, they're not sure they want to extend. o_O

    Or Thunder offer up Poku (17th). :eek:

    Or if Magic offers BolBol (44th). :eek: @tinman

    I think KJ fits well with the starting unit. He's our best cutter and rim runner. He doesn't need the ball in his hands. He strengths complement the weaknesses of Smith and Sengun well. His defense has a lot of room to improve. But I think he is not unwilling.

    Eason is a wildcard you can throw in at any situation. To use a baseball terminology, he is the epitome of a utility man. If you need some energy to do disruptive defense, throw him in. If your scorers are cold, throw him in to get some offensive rebounds. That's ideal for a 6th man role. Each of them can play 30+ minutes if Gordon is gone.

    The only issue is where you fit Tate when he comes back.

    There are a lot of guys on the forum who like to pretend that they were the most together people at 19. It is unforgiveable that a couple of years ago he threw some food around a sacred locker room doncha know.

    I think you are right on this .... and from everything I've heard, "It's Tate's locker room" .... the whole team likes and respects him.

    Still 2 years left on his contract. The Rockets don’t have to rush to a decision.
