I’m already out on next season. The worst team shouldn’t fall out the top 3. There’s no way this is random.
Our highest odds were to get 5th pick. Blame the sixers and Hinke for destroying the lottery for The Process.

Think Cade and Ivey both have all star potential. They’ll be alright.

Missed out on Wemby but Whitmore or Thompson twins can easily end up better players than Miller

My problem is the worst team has a 50% chance to get the 5th pick and only a 14% chance to get the first. It’s an insane way to solve a tanking problem.

Cade and Ivey will be very good but they needed a 3rd. Nobody else in the top 5 makes a difference on this team imo

Like i said blame the sixers. There the only reason the lotto was changed. They took tanking to a new level

We don’t know u til they actually get drafted and play. Best player in draft class usually isn’t usually the top pick

Next years draft class is horrific. Maybe all time bad class. So their is incentive for them to try and win next year and finally offload that pick they owe

duren is the third
I think Whitmore or Hendricks fits perfectly tho

Most top picks end up on a new squad anyway

Ausur probably best fit at 5. Elite athlete, defender, good size. Unlike Amen, his shot isn’t broken. Made shooting progress this year. Comfortable playing off-ball.

Definitely get uber athletic Bey vibes from Whitmore. Not because they both went to Villanova but due to body type and the tunnel vision. Might have some ball hog tendencies

Y’all can probably trade up to 2 or 3 since both squads are set at guards. Y’all have cap space.
I already knew spurs were getting Wemby. That shyt been rigged that way for a minute.


Most important offseason decision for y’all is coaching hire anyway.


I’m glad Houston did their coaching search before all these coaches got fired. Wasn’t interested in Monty or Doc. Need a developmental coach with accountability
