Although that’s true the question I would ask is why?  
why would you mess with your cap sheet for next year?  For a marginal upgrade this year, which will yield a worse draft pick?  No thanks man.

So what's the consensus on who we should draft? 

Chet. Orlando will take Smith, OKC will out-think everyone and take Ivey, and that will leave us Chet.

as a Rockets fan.. Banchero "falling" to us at 3 is a God send.  One more season taking lumps and getting a top 5 lottery for next June and we'll be set.  Only thing that could make it even better is if Kyrie does walk and Kd demands a trade out of Brooklyn.. those 1sts for Harden look to be golden tickets

If the #3 pick works out this season the Brooklyn scenario may be our best shot at a top 5 pick

I still think this team will have some struggles..  Hope they can trade Gordon for some value (selfishly i would like for them to trade him to a contender by the trade deadline)

No way, Houston is going to suck again. Just look at how loaded and deep the west is

Agreed, just thinking that if we hit on the three pick we will be in the 8-14 range as opposed to the 1-5. (Lucky lotto not withstanding)

I really don't see any way that Houston isn't one of the three or four worst teams in the league. They're going to suck

You are probably right but we will have company as teams tank for Wembanyama

Jabari to Houston

 

I mean- maybe I get orgasmic and Chet falls to us at 3. I doubt it. But who knows. 
Smith has a dogshit 2 point percentage that shows he’s not a creator. It’s the number 1 decider for guys that are good in the nba. His is one of the worst in 10 years of top 5 picks. 
really really really want Chet.

Jabari makes the long term defensive upside for the team better than Paolo 

I think the offensive two-man synergy game between Green and Paolo would have been special, but Jabari will help space out the offense better; he might be the best pure shooter in the draft

Porter loves the idea of getting Smith over Banchero.

We get Chet now.

or Smith. Of course, Smith never worked out for the Rockets because he thought he was going #1 for 2 months. Haha. I wonder if Smith worked out for Thunder.

Oh please oh please oh please. 

But if OkC takes Chet and like 25 teams have Smith as the #1 guy I’d sure as shit love to trade down to 4, get Ivey and an unprotected pick 1st rounder from Sacramento. Those are usually gold
