    He was pretty decent when he played for the Jazz.

    That was so long ago bud. It's unrealistic to think that he will be useful.

    the injuries to Woods and others were a blessing in disguise for the Rockets. It was the main cause of the 10 game losing streak and allowed the Rockets to be a bottom 3 team.

    Stone and the front office need to trade Oladipo and Tucker in the next month. Gordon should only be moved if it doesn't cost the rockets picks. He's currently avging 18 on 44%fg and 33% 3pt with a 59% TS. It'll be interesting if a Boston (has a massive trade exception) or some other team would be willing to take his contract for free or otherwise.

    My preference still hasn't changed, give me this 50-40-90 shooter and start him immediately next to KPJ next year...

    When many were clamoring for duncan robinson from miami I wondered if kispert wouldn't be as good, younger and cheaper.

    Wish he'd be around at portland's pick.

    We don't need a pg. We're stuck with Wall and I would let KPJ play the point also. We need wings with height and shooting.

    I want both. I'd give Miami Oladipo, Tucker, and BMac or Nwaba for Robinson, Olynyk's expiring, and a pick.

    Suggs is 6'4" with a 6'5" wingspan. If Wall remains on the team for the next couple of years, Suggs can play the 2 guard just fine.

    I don’t want Duncan Robinson. He is going to be over paid as a free agent. A team rebuilding doesn’t sign guys like that in free agency or draft them in the lottery.

    If I am drafting in the lottery, I want someone that can be an all star or better. The Rockets may not have a single player on their roster right now that will still be there in 4 years.

    I’ve run the draft simulator 5 times this morning and each time the Rockets pick 3rd, 22nd and 33.
    I always go Cade Cunningham because Evan Mobley and Jalen Green go ahead of our pick 3.
    So I could go Kuminga instead and leave Wood at Center, but no.

    Kispert always goes around 12 thru 14.

    So Cade at #3........then I’ve been picking Charles Bassey at 22 and even at 33.

    I’ve also picked Roko Prkacin.........but Franz Wagner is quickly climbing up the charts 6’9” SF. Watch out for him. As I fall back to Kispert.

    I was pro tank the past month .strongly... But I changed my mind. Forget it for sevwrse reasons

    Number one I can see silver being a douchebag and not giving us the pick..sorry folks but the lotto atleast the top four is rigged..to much evidence

    Second. Got a feeling we will botch the pick badly even if silver grants us.I don't know why, but just a gut feeling

    Third even if by some miracle silver give us the pick and we nail it, he will be 19-20 yrs old and take three yrs to even grow up and maximize his talent

    Don't know if me, or cf's ,or tilman can wait three yrs..

    To many ifs

    Forget it

    I have done a complete 180..was pro tank and now I say put wood in there, bring up kpj and hope kpj can be good right of the bat and go-to the playoffs

    Yes it will suck to be swept in the first round..but....I really have no faith in the lottery

    Ran the simulation several times..what a disaster.. we fell out of top 4 about 80 percent of the time
