  1. – Scoot if available,
    – trade for cp3 (veteran presence and lead the floor) and get 8th pick

  2. Honestly we would be fine with any of these dudes, we’re at the mercy of other teams at 4 but we could use any of their skill sets

  3. Trade up for Scoot/Miller if we cant do that. Trade back to 7th for PG like Suggs or Johnny Davis or Garland and a Center like Kai Jones, Jalen Duren, or Mark Williams. use the 7th or 8th to take Taylor Hendricks. So we walk away with
    1. A solid PG for coach to work with
    2. Jalen Green
    3. Jabari Smith
    4. Alp
    5. C rim protect lob threat
    6. taylor hendricks
    7. Josh Chris
    8. Tari
    9. Cauley Stein
    We would trade KPJ, Martin Jr. and Tate.
    I would be very pleased with those moves.

  4. Amen …sign Chris Paul
    Sign Cam Johnson or Jalen McDaniels
    Trade pick 20 for Capela

  5. Scoot or Brandon if available. If not Cam Whitmore or keep Walker in Houston. Just get the best player! I'm not sold on either Thompson twin but I'd take Ausur over Amen every time! If Hendricks is as good as he appears to be I'd be more excited about reaching for him at 4 before taking Amen!

  6. Yall losing me over the Amen is better than Cam. Cam is 18 and Amen is almost 21. Amen was playing YMCA basketball, of course he is going to look like a star. Rockets struggled when teams went to zone and adding Amen is going to make it worse but simply going under the screen or zoning it up to have our mid shooters chuck it up. Last year, everyone was talking about Paulo is ready now but Jabari has more potential. Now look at us, Jabari is FAR from Paulo's level. Tired of drafting these projects. Cam is ready now.

  7. Last night I was watching OTE game on youtube against Omaha Blue. Ausar seemed to have more than Amen, even still, they both were struggling and it was the other players who brought the team back after getting blown out. These twins are two old and for a 4th pick, is mid.

  8. Any chance we put a package deal together to move up to get Scoot Henderson at #2 or #3? Like #4 and #20 or something similar….

  9. I think amen will be a better fit in udoka's play style. Defense first and on offense touch the paint kick it out and keep the ball moving. Also this will help kpj be the natural scorer that he is. He can be a Jamal Crawford 6th man come off the bench and give u 30 any given night type of player

  10. i prefer scoot of course but its highly unlikely thats gonna happen. after watching that video of amen where he breaks down his own plays, he convinced me that hes gon be special he has such a high iq for basketball, the shooting will come hopefully tho

  11. Talk about constant pressure on the rim and paint and not being the strongest person was Tony Parker

  12. I like James Nnija….18yrs old…7foot 250…7'7 wingspan…..I like Amen at 4 tho….Scoot won't b a Rocket unfortunately

  13. It's going to be Brandon Miller or Amen Thompson. The Dillon Brooks talk makes me sick, too. For the same price you might be able to get Grant Williams who brings defense AND A BRAIN. I saw Grant body up against Embiid in the playoffs. Rockets need that strength badly. Any WNBA team could push the skinny ass Rockets players around right now except Al P. In my perfect world I would bring in Grant Williams, Austin Reaves and Cam Johnson. I'm not trading Tate and/or Martin plus the #20th pick to move up in the draft. I'm trading them for a rotational player we need. I'm okay with Jett Howard at the 20th pick.

  14. I hate that we’re going to end up with a Thompson twin

    I’d rather take any of Cam, Taylor, Gradey, Jarace, Cason. But it is what it is. I’ve resigned to the fact that Amen and Asaur will be a bust. Just hope we win a title regardless of them

  15. Jake Fischer reports Memphis wants to trade Tyus Jones. He's in the last year of his contract and Memphis will not have the cap room to resign him so they want something now.

  16. Big Pokey outro was goated! 🔥🤘🏾

    At #4, I’m drafting Scoot/Amen/Miller or trade back for Anthony Black

  17. Even tho I had the porzingas angle long before you, I’m glad one of you guys brought it up so people would seriously consider it. Let’s get some motion behind this thing

  18. What y'all think?
