    Eric Gordon sneaked on the DL list once again before the trade deadline. Bs

    Continuous losing would result in financial losses for this team. Best case that means Tilman is forced to sell, worst case scenario Seattle gets a new basketball team and Harden joins KD there to win one more.

    Keep Ben Mac for the tank and body, nobody will want him anyways and we will be free of him at the end of the year. Package a Dipo + Tucker + House deal for two firsts to a contender who's firsts will be late anyways so they aren't as valuable so the contender will be more inclined to say yes. Still dont know how bad Gordon's injury so it might be more difficult to move him right now.

    Get it done Murray.

    Oladipo is pick No 2 and we cant wait to get rid of him

    picks no 15 and 27 in his class were generational talent...I dare you to find out who were these players

    top picks are worthless.... the only thing that matters is your ability to recognize and develop the talent...

    in other words if you know how to draft it doesnt matter where you pick

    and it works in reverse as well
    if you dont know how to draft it doesnt matter where you pick lolololol

    I'm the last person who would ever be for tanking in a normal season. But we are on a 15 game losing streak. If we are not tanking, that is even more alarming.

    The Rockets are Tanking, Christian Wood is taking more time off, which is correct move. John Wall in and out, understandable, Achilles Injury. Oladipo with a Broken Leg. Taking time off.

    The Veterans are a Rehab Team. The Rockets Desperately need more Youth, with a Healthy Body and Diet.

    I have no idea how Keith Jones is still on the Team. The Yao, McGrady Injuries, Chris Paul Injury.

    I am Shocked in a Sense that How is James Harden still Healthy with Keith Jones on Staff.

    The statements

    Top picks are worthless.
    It doesn’t matter where you pick.

    Just not even remotely true.

    https://www.pdg-analytics.com/articles/nba-draft-all-star-correlations

    A million different nerds have taken the results of NBA drafts and found the same exact exponential decline in talent as your draft position worsens.

    What you mean to say is that outliers, on both sides of the spectrum, are real. That it’s possible, but not probable, to find elite talent at any point of the draft. That a smart GM picking 8th MIGHT be able to accumulate more talent than a dumb GM picking 3rd. These are all non delusional, in line with reality observations.

    But top picks are extremely valuable and it matters deeply where you pick. And that’s based 100% on results of every NBA draft ever.
