Should Houston Rockets Target Draymond Green Or Kristaps Porzingis? + Trade Options With 20th Pick
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost Frank (@ftank58) from Rockets Chop Shop to discuss if the Houston Rockets should target Draymond Green or Kristaps Porzingis this offseason, how each of those players would fit on this Rockets team, why Draymond coming to Houston on a short deal makes sense for both sides, why the Washington Wizards might be open to a Porzingis trade on the cheap after trading Bradley Beal, plus Houston’s trade options with the 20th pick in this year’s NBA Draft.

I feel like draymond has more potential in teaching the young bucks but kristaps is the better player right now
Bring back gp2 or d Melton
Brook Lopez please. Why would Dray go to a rebuilding team?? I'm sure he'd want to further his legacy as a champion. Also he is building his own brand with podcast and sports talks as his retirement plan. Why would he go to mid media market of Houston vs big cities with mainstream media(I mean just look at how dead Rockets Twitter is, why cant they hire some millennials for marketing team, its the digital age and their socials suck). It would be nice if is willing to be a chill sensei and turn Rockets into new gen Warriors, him mentoring Sengun, Sengun takes the Dray role for Rockets, then Jalen, Jabari and KPJ = Klay, KD and Curry roles. But I doubt Green wants to go to Houston lol
Who does Draymond punch first at practice?
Frank loves Draymond more than he loves rockets 😂😂
Draymond is straight up ignorant. Prefer he stay where he is
Green and Beverly would make this team great for the future
Neither
I'm here to say NO. Just look at what the Warriors were like when steph curry was out, almost the worst team in the league.
Porzingis on an expiring would be perfect both roster construction wise and financial flexibility
No. Kristapz Porzingis has been a net negative on defense for several years now. If he were still an elite defender then by all means. He is not. So you'd be paying big dollars to a guy who doesn't play defense and isn't much of an upgrade over Sengun on offense.
As for Draymond, he's steadily been on the decline and he's much older. If we're going to go after somebody who provides defense with very little shooting, we may as well go after Dillon Brooks. At least he has more good years left in the tank.
Yup I like them both
Rockets definitely should target Draymond Green. It would be like having another coach on the floor
I think porzingis career could be revived here in Houston and would help on defense
Sign Brook Lopez, Cam Johnson and a couple of shooters, plus who ever they choose in the draft then let them play.
