This^ hey it’s page 420. Smokem if u got em!!!

Yeah, I think you have to take into account the way Houston plays offense. They thrive on exploiting created mismatches in isolations. Harden and LeBron on the same team means you have two incredible iso scorers in an offense that looks for great iso scoring. As long as Harden and LeBron also commit to being capable catch-and-shoot guys for each other when necessary (which Bron did pretty well when he played with Wade), I don't see that much of a problem.

My vote is jjj or bagley. Bagley has no right hand at all and is a very low energy guy on d. jjj is an unknown has gone invisible on the court quite a bit.

Think of it this way: we weren't supposed to be this bad this year. The amount of games lost, due to injury, is crazy high. Without those injuries, we're 38 wins and picking....12th? So, whoever we get at 6, is a blessing, and higher potential than who we would've picked at 12th.

You're a grown man. Do you really have to use a childish insult every time you reference Toronto?

Count me as a Young taker but I am still a Porter taker first. That assumes Ayton, Doncic, Bamba, and JJJ are gone. I still solve center first if possible and take Doncic over everyone. In addition to above mock drafts Phoenix's and Atlanta's reported interest in Young speaks volumes (and Phoenix would not want him at #1 but they would want Ayton AND Trae (with a trade)). I think the silence about his workout here is intentional (especially the way leaking occurs these days) because it was a good workout. Excited for draft day to get herer to get some answers.

non Young takers are the vocal minority. Check realgm, Reddit, and draft mocks around the internet, it's overwhelmingly in favor of Young.

Vuc with good D would be a borderline All-Star. The guy has proven he can score 17-18 per on pretty solid efficiency and pass very well for a big. The problem is he's not quite a good enough scorer to make up for being one of the worst defensive bigs in the league (total inability to defend PnR). So he's a negative overall. Plus he plays the most important defensive position, which makes his poor defense even more of a problem. If he were a guard, with the same offensive positives and defensive negatives he would basically be Fournier, a guy you can get away with starting by hiding him on D. But you can't hide a bad defensive 5 in the modern NBA; so Vuc, thus, should not be a starter in the league. Give him just good defense, and it changes all the math on him. Instead of being a good offensive player and terrible defender, he's then a guy who gives you a bit of everything. A good defensive Vuc is basically Horford, but probably a better rebounder.

let's pretend that LeBron joins the rockets, that's three players that can play one on one vs the warriors who have 2 or 3 guys that can do the same. I don't see any other team stopping those two teams and remember we said that cp3 and harden wouldn't work because they needed the ball in their hands....

I think possibly if CP3 didn't go down Houston might have had a chance. If there was some way they could get LeBron without losing any core members I think Houston takes the Warriors.

Dude, if we get Trae Young, he'll dry your tears. If we draft Trae, he'll quiet your fears. If we draft Trae, all cheers will be sung. We'll be relevant again, if we draft Trae Young. -Magicfan1987

Interesting but I saw that Nurse is the front runner for Craptors head coach so we will see

Craptors hire Nurse as head coach, Nurse coming here was a pipe dream anyway

Your dreams are crushed, Craptors announced that Nurse is the head coach

Yes I have to use it because not only I hate the Raptors, they got swept by an awful Cavaliers team in the playoffs so they are the "Craptors" which is true

You will survive and I do not talk about the Craptors that much so be happy
