    Don't blame Daryl. He didn't want to make the trade. Tilman took it upon himself to do Daryl's job for him and it resulted in his resignation.

    Whats going on folks!

    What’s the likelihood of us honestly getting the top 4 pick - I’m unfamiliar with the scenarios this year - - swapping our picks with another team and all that jazz.

    can someone smarter than me in this area help break it down? I’d like to know who I should be researching in this upcoming draft.

    If we finish with top three worst record-


    We have a 52% chance of having a ping pong ball selected in the first four picks which would allow us to keep the pick

    Yeah, but then you have to factor in the League/ Adam Silver...

    Let's put it this way...

    WHEN we close out in the bottom four, we'll be keeping that pick.

    Who is your Ranking

    Mine is

    Jalen Green
    Cade Cunningham
    Johnathan Kuminga
    Evan Mobley
    Jalen Suggs

    Jalen Green Speed, Athleticism, Side Step 3 and Skill set surprises me.

    It is cool Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr faced off in the G League.

    I hope they are teammates in the Rockets.

    Their Speed and Athleticism, Scoring Skills, in the Backcourt is Special.

    52 percent and being a big market. The nba would be smart to let us keep our pick. It’s a done deal as long as we yank!

    Um, "yank"?

    Well, I'll do my part. Won't take me two minutes. Locked and loaded. (ahem)

    Replace Mobley with Scottie Barnes for me. Mobley is too soft to trust. He's lost a lot of matchups with undersized bigs this season.

    Evan Mobley looks like Roy Hibbert. Not fluid in his Post Moves. Looks like Dwight Howard with his Hook Shots.

    Kevin Porter Jr. is 20 years old.

    Jalen Green is 19 years old.

    The Backcourt can be together for a Long Time.

    K.J Martin Jr. is 20 years old.

    Christian Wood is 25, JaeSean Tate is 25, Mason Jones is 22.

    I’d rather have Suggs or Cunningham but I am also intrigued by GReens explosion
