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

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.

Oh there is no way we keep the pick. Only 40% chance at best.

A young 19 year old rookie isn’t saving this team or going to fight the ship.

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.

Evan Mobley would be a very nice consolation prize if we were to end up at number two.

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.

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. Sorry fade.

So if they keep their pick, you want them to trade it?

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.

No that’s not my point. If we keep it great; if we don’t it’s okay too.

We can’t wait and hope the pick is what’s going to change this franchise.

Rosas hitched his wagon to KAT and DLo; our two max players. If they don’t right this ship, then it’s over for everyone.

How can you rebuild the team when it just got rebuilt last season again with an entire roster overhaul.

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?

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.

Getting one of the top 3 this year could be franchise changing for us. Not getting a pick could be devastating for us.

Root for the losing! I hate doing it but Rosas put us in this situation.
This team is going to lose enough to finish bottom 3 without question - no rooting required. ;)

Right. Even if we "right the ship" so to speak and play better after the AS break, we're still all but guaranteed to be a bottom 3 team.


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