Rockets Rumors: No. 4 Draft Pick Expected to Be Used as ‘Trade Bait,’ NBA Execs Say



Is Bleacher Report still valid? Saying the Rockets are gonna make a push for Harden and look to trade the pick.

You do not tank 3 yrs for Harden. Trading the pick makes sense because there does not look to be an all star or a shooter with capable defense available. Mainly prospects that need to develop.

  1. I guess to answer the question in the body, they’re somewhat connected but not totally. Funny they used the word bait bc they are more leaning toward clickbait. They have put so many scenarios out there that one of them has to be right. If there’s no direct name tied to being the source and such, it could even be made up or planted lol

    Good thing Wemby got drafted to the Spurs because if we sign Harden and trade Green and this pick for guys like Middleton and Siakam to win now, im moving over next door

    These Rockets Rumors have been pretty unreliable from what I’ve seen.

  5. > NBA Execs say

    The ultimate source for writers who have no sources, so they go to rival executives for some gossip and use it as clickbait. Take it with a fat ass grain of salt.

    I’d be down to trade the #4 and #20 for the #2 to be guaranteed Scoot.

    Bleacherreport quoting hoopshype this is like bullshit^2

    Trade it. Bruh, I looked into this Amen guy I see people trying to will themselves into. That boy is dime a dozen, vanilla, swing man nobody. I saw some people try comparing him to Jayson Tatum… trade the pick.

    I think Scoot may fall. There are big IF’s for it to happen:

    1. Charlotte is all in on LaMelo and go for a forward, most likely Miller.

    2. Unless they get Scoot or Lillard to play the 2, I think they’ll draft someone better fitted for them as Lillard would rather be the main ball handler.
