    I still don't even get why we did it. What did we get? We moved from a good draft to a dogshit one? For what exactly? We just gave Brooklyn a had for no reason

    It really is not for some teams......for fans you can talk yourself into that......

    There is always going to be teams that draft the best, draft better than others, have more luck.

    First agenda: Rockets fake media hype up Stones picks

    Second: stone offers all those picks for a B list all star player

    Third: they will backtrack and say those picks wouldn’t have been good.

    Just need stone and the FO to not trade anything besides our picks only if we're competitive.

    Would people trade next year's two shots at a Top 4 pick for that Nets #6 pick this year?

    That's not the equation.

    Would people trade next year's two shots at a top 4 pick PLUS two picks in 2029 for this years Nets #6 pick?


    Is the answer "no", or "hell no!"
