    Multiple reports now have Rockets seriously interested in a backcourt of Green and Ivey. Absolute win win with either Jaden or Paolo, but happy to see Ivey being seriously considered. Heard that Green really likes Ivey and when asked a month ago on who he’d like to see join the team, he listed Ivey first and didn’t mention Paolo. Going to get very interesting very soon!!!

    My prediction- there is going to be some sort of a surprise at the top of this draft (some team trades up that we weren't expecting, one of the top teams takes a player that we haven't really talked about, etc). I might be wrong, of course, but that's my gut feeling.

    Let me know if I should go make a new thread for this. I don't think we have enough yet for this draft

    Leftover pizza. Still taste Ok and satisfies hunger. But it's not a Jabari/Chet gormet meal.

    Nothing we can do unless Stone cook up something unexpected.

    Speak for yourself. Leftover pizza is awesome. Sometimes it’s even better than a gourmet meal.

    Yes, please make a new thread! We want a new hot take that the Rox will definitely draft Banchero.

    Ivey and Banchero are the only two players this season with over
    600 points...175 rebounds....100 assists...30 steals...20 blocks

    -- sorry can't post article per CF's request --

    Some are infatuated with a "Big" getting Assists; where I'm happy with a combo
    guard getting rebounds and blocks. Works well with possible

    3-guard lineups of:
    Ivey-Green-Porter
    or
    J Christopher-Mathews-Porter
    or
    J Christopher- Green- Porter
    or
    Ivey-Mathews-Porter
    or
    Ivey-J Christopher-Porter

    Tandems of:
    Ivey-Green
    or
    Porter- J Christopher
    or
    J Christopher-Green
    or
    Ivey- J Christopher
    or
    Ivey- Mathews
    Green-Mathews
    Porter-Mathews
    ----------------------

    Also liked the part (in article) where Ivey played his best against ranked
    opponents averaging 19.1 pts...5.1 rebs...4.4 Ast in those 9 games.

    nothing new here.

    I'd be happy with either. both have concerns defensively. I like the jalen/paolo 2-man game potential, but I also like jalen/ivey being a matchup nightmare.

    While we're at it, how about we take the only guy with at least 800 points, 300 rebounds, 50 assists, 40 steals, and 60 blocks? :cool:

    I've been binging highlights on all 3 players and Jabari seriously looks a cut above both Chet and Paolo.

    Paolo will be a solid player though in the league, likely a future all star.
