Should Houston Rockets Keep OR Trade 2024 NBA Draft Pick? Targets? Dalton Knecht, Kel’el Ware & More
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost and NBA Draft enthusiast Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks) to discuss whether or not the Houston Rockets should keep their 2024 first round pick via the Brooklyn Nets or look to trade it for a “win now” roster upgrade, the difficulties in upgrading a position unless it’s a star-level player, why keeping the pick and adding another young piece makes a lot of sense, should Houston’s draft philosophy shift from best player available to best fit available, names to pay attention to like Tennessee’s Dalton Knecht and Indiana’s Kel’el Ware and more.

COMMENT: Should the Rockets KEEP or TRADE their 2024 pick?
Keep
For me personally I think they need to trade the pick. I don’t think we can develop anymore young guys unless it’s a young guy that can contribute like Keegan Murray or maybe bring them slowly.
If they can trade the pick and get like a Korey Kispert, Caruso or any other shooters then trade the pick.
If you can’t find a player like that. Just keep the pick and get a shooter like Reed Sheppard Knecht is also another one I would think about using that pick on. We also need another big if they don’t bring back Landale get Ware or the center for Baylor as a backup big.
So yeah that’s my thoughts on what she should do with draft
Lots of shooters in this draft
What would you give up for D booker?
Keep
Keep Dillion until Tari Develops and then look at it as a trading piece. I think Dillion will have a better coming season. He's continuing to improve.
After 10 there is a drop off. The good shooters are top 10
If the Pelicans would go for a Brooks+Adams+ #9pick for Ingram, you have to look at that hard. Or Trae Young for FVV + #9, less attractive or at least has some big down sides… Still have to think about it. Valanciunas is UFA so they'd to believe in Stephen Adams being healthy to jump.
Those trades are more possible if we land a top 4 pick, obviously.
Or maybe nothing shakes loose, and Reed Shepard falls in their lap at 9 it's all good.
Cam whitmore is our porter jr a top talent that slid
Hot take trade.up for sarr maybe we can move future assets without the core six involved and find a way to keep the nets and get shep.
We cannot draft anymore 6ft6 players we are stacked
