lets go!
Do you think the Rockets should keep or trade the number 3 pick?
Let's gooooo. We trading down. Noone we want is worth a 3rd pick. Except Sarr
Reed ✅
Depends on the player we will get, maybe we get a valuable piece
I would be drafting Donovan Clingan
They need to make this draft. It’s a top 3 pick bro. If they trade the pick, what if the player turn out to be all star in the near future. They need a big like Donovan clingan or Sarr to replace Steve Adam who’s on a one year contract.
Don't trade the 3rd overall pick. I could see the Rockets trading the #8 like projected but they got the #3 which could really help our team.
3:15 we had six project players when he signed up. I believe Sengun and Jalen to certain extend is not a project players anymore and Tari and Amen are already NBA ready defensive high floor players so we can definitely draft high ceiling player and develop into quality star. Jabari and Cam seems like still more potential hiding beneath the youth but rest are pretty much ready for spotlights
I like Matas. Does he fit? No, but whatever haha
Trade that pick for a star
I think they should listen to some offers of trading the pick or at least trading down. If they don’t like the offers keep the pick.
I love Reed he is the best fit for our team but man taking him at 3 is a bit too rich.
But we’ll see Stone he has a lot of options that for sure now we have to study these players because I don’t think anybody thought we would be in the top 3 lol
Package trade ALP and Cam, along with the 3rd pick and trade for Embiid, or keep the pick and draft Edey
I would keep the pick. You can still get a very solid player who helps the team. You still need a good bench, shooters, and defenders. If it was up to me, I would take the Serbian point guard Topic. He is a European player who has a high basketball IQ and is the most NBA ready player. Those usually have good track records of success as we saw with Sengun himself.
Assuming the first two picks are Sarr and Risacher, the Rockets should draft Clingan. One word – Wemby, who is in the same division. The Rockets will play Wemby and Clingan gives them someone who can match up with Wemby.
Keep the number 3 pick and get Donovan Clingan or Reed Sheppard and do a package trade with JG, Tate, Landale and Jabari maybe some picks for Trae or Booker😊😊
Brandon Ingram for Jalen green ,Jabari and the #3 pick is a fair trade ….Go Pels
We need a shooter a three point assassin.
How does kyle kuzma and a second sound ?
Trade that pick for Jordan Hawkins from the Pelicans.
Trade that pick for Jordan Hawkins from the Pelicans.
Yes Tilman said that, but a #3 pick will change their mind.
The Rockets are the draft winners…the Nets are the only team without a pick and Houston can swap with them in the 2025 & 2027 drafts…plus they own their 2026 pick.
The Trade that keeps on giving…So far Harden for Tari Eason + Cam Whitmore + #3 pick in the 2024 draft….ALL HAIL STONE
