Would you consider this if you were the front office and were targeting a player unlikely to be available at 10?
Houston takes whichever of Topic/Dillingham/Sheppard still on the Board and the Jazz get “their guy” if they have one.

Nah… I was enticed at first since we would be able to get Reed Sheppard or Stephon Castle at 3, but I’m not sure it’s worth giving up 3 pretty good assets in Kessler, Clarkson and 10.
Fuuuuck nah
I‘m guessing Rockets fans would say that they are giving up the two best assets in the trade.
No
I’d do it but l and it seems like a good deal for Houston although I don’t know how Kessler and Seguin can coexist.
Why tho?
Those are 3 of our better assets, we give away for what? A guy who would go closer to 10 than 3 in almost any other draft? I’m good.
Terrible trade for Jazz
At first you might think that this isn’t the type of draft to do this. Because the #3 pick is arguably going to be barely better than the #10 pick.
That being said, Reed Sheppard would be there and I actually strongly believe that he’s the closest prospect to John Stockton I’ve seen in a while. His efficiency, intangibles, vision, defense with steals, and just the way he plays…all remind me of Stock.
Rockets aren’t giving up Eason, they seem high on him
I am very much on Team No Fucking Way Should We Trade Walker Kessler
No thanks
