This is why I am convinced that atleast the plan is to use the picks to trade up

The thing it is hard to trade up. Think Charlottes is our best chance.

Everyone knew rockets were taking banchero after the draft lottery. Unless there is a shocker, everyone knows the top 3 players.

True but if the Rockets are targeting Banchero out of the top 3, now it looks like they have to move up. That's why I was saying, they need to keep their plans close to the vest until they make their pick.

Why not wait?

I think Rafael Stone played his hand too early. If he wanted to trade C.Wood, why not wait until after they make their pick on draft night??

Now EVERYONE know we NEED a forward and more than likely we are going after Banchero. I think that's the reasoning behind Banchero's name being dropped as a possible #1 or #2 pick.

Dude got roasted for this, but it’s not an unreasonable take. GM’s pretty much already knew which way Houston was leaning re: Christian Wood, but I don’t see how announcing it early was particularly beneficial either.
