Don’t really care for the pick. A young guy isn’t going to save this team. It’s up to kAT and DLo

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
This is one of those times I end up actually really wanting a player in the draft. I usually don't pay any attention. The other guys I wanted: Rubio; and Wiggins.....
Maybe I should be left wanting.

welll.......... that IS who we have $60M+ sunk into. and that's who we should expect the most out of. i don't think they are necessarily going to come thru - but those are our guys. and they are until further notice. and besides .... i don't think we're getting that pick.Rusty Kuntz wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 5:18 pmUnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 4:49 pm Don’t really care for the pick.

It’s up to our two max players to lead the way.

Newsflash, Towns and DLO ain't leading to nothing but losses. They're on track to move Towns and i don't know what with DLO. They are probably going to reshuffle this whole thing around cause it ain't working.

Our only chance is to get the #1 pick and for Cunningham to be a generational level talent. That's it.

If they get the number one pick and take anyone not named Cade Cunningham I’ll never watch this fuckin team again. I saw someone earlier in this thread mentioned taking Mobley. Are you kidding me? Cunningham looks incredible.

This team has had 3 number one picks in Wiggins kAT and Edwards. What has changed?
Young guys don’t elevate a team. Trent Tucker says this all the time on In the Zone. A rookie 19 year old isn’t going to change things. Our vets need to lead.

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
KAT and DLo aren’t leading you to anything other than maybe an 8th seed if Edwards doesn’t develop and we don’t keep the 21 pick.

They’ve backed themselves into a corner IMO where it probably makes sense to trade KAT with DLo somewhere just to shed the money and hope they keep their pick plus add another. It’s supposedly a loaded draft.

Rosas really fucked this trade up by not making it top 5. What was he thinking with a 40% chance of keeping the pick even if we finish with the worst record? Just dumb.

And then to have the biggest off-season splash to make sure they were decent and on the rise toward playoff contention was to bring back Ricky Rubio.

It won't happen. Nothing good happens here. Give it up fellas. Curry, Jalen Green, Klay, Draymond, and Wiseman is going to look real nice.

Couple fun tank notes.
Houston has lost 11 straight and we’re still 7 games worse in the loss column. Also 3 games worse on Detroit in the L column.
Bottom 3 record is all but confirmed. When is the lottery?

Re: We NEED that pick THIS year!!
it's amazing how bad houston got when christian wood went down with his injury. you wouldn't think that a young guy just coming into his own would have that big of an impact, but it sure looks like it. harden's traded on Jan 14th - the rockets proceed to win 8 of their next 12 games, wood really playing well - and then he's injured and they haven't won since. eleven straight losses with him out of the lineup.

Right.

So that means there's about a 42% chance to bother watching next year, right?
