It is now a certainty that Tucker, Capela, or Paul will win a championship before Harden

He is beyond washed. His knees are shot
It's all relative. "Washed" to me means useless and he is limited & one-dimensional now, but far from useless especially at that price. The Pistons bit the $ bullet for them and at this point, 10-20 minutes off the bench and getting some spot-up looks as the beneficiary of Harden double-teams is a better role for him and his knees.

I am rooting for the Nets to lose as much as anyone else here and strongly dislike the superteam trend, but this is a low-risk (possobly) good pickup for them.

Griffin can't even dunk anymore. He's an undersized backup 5 who can't defend basically anything, sucks around the basket and can't shoot from the perimeter.
He looked pretty good in the playoffs. Maybe not quite "beyond washed".

Hmmm.... Chris Wallace to Rockets. Perhaps he'll suggest this year's version of Hasheem Thabeet with the #2 pick.

Not that excited about that hiring but Wallace was forced to draft thabeet by ownership

Honestly Chris Wallace is a pretty good talent scout, and as long as someone else has final say on draft day, it's a good pickup.

He did a pretty good job breaking down the Memphis Grizzlies and getting them to playoff level. He could never do the moves to advance them from playoff level to championship contender but some of that is also the market. He wasn't exactly recruiting free agents to Miami or LA.

He helped lead the franchise to 7 straight playoff appearances (in the WC) with 3 different coaches and 3 different guys leading the team in win shares.

Congrats to Middleton and Giannis. Middleton is self-explanatory, Giannis because James Harden hates him. **** you James, enjoy the off-season.

I actually think its really easy for the Rockets based on most reports. Wait for Detroit to select Cunningham or Green then take the other.

Heard an interesting trade rumor - Eric Gordon and the #23 pick to Indiana for the #13 overall pick.

Also there was an interesting discussion about a hypothetical trade on the radio yesterday. Basically boiled down to Cleveland sending us Collin Sexton and the #3 pick in exchange for the #2 pick. If I was Stone I would definitely have to think about it. Wonder what his relationship was like with KPJ

Why would Indiana do that? And what bad contracts would we be taking back to make the $ work?

It surprised me a little bit too. They may have intentionally left off some of the bad $$$$ we would absorb. EG is a name that keeps coming up in trade rumors and understandably so. He could definitely help a playoff contender if healthy, but doesn't have much use here anymore.

Looking like Green will be the pick. I really like him as a prospect but can't help but think that we will regret not taking Mobley. He is just a total freak show. Upside through the roof.

Green and KPJ will be fun though.

It is still weird having a high draft pick. It has been a long time since we've had the opportunity to draft a difference maker.

Rockets had a hell of a first round. I'm jealous as a Spurs fan.
