Rockets drafted two players after our pick that many of us would have been happy with at 17.

No it's like watching the Super Bowl on a five minute delay and that was the only way any could watch it. Then getting texts and tweets from people inside the stadium spoiling the results.

So if you're in front of a TV you have access to a phone? When the 5 o'clock news comes on and leaves you on a cliff hanger for the weather before a commercial, do you wait out the commercial break or check your phone?

I see a difference in experiences. One is news and the other is entertainment. I still remember the first year the twitter stuff happened a dbag next to read every pick. I wanted to watch it unfold, not get updates from him like a know it all. The news thing is different in that I don't care the source.

huh? No they drafted him as the replacement. Just posted in the other thread going to be pissed if he is moved for the same value as vasques. C is a position of need and worth the gamble at that point.

My guess is they will offer a future protected 1st to get rid of him. I would still be interested if it was top 10 protected.

Joseph Young is going to be a great pick by whoever gets him.

That's over negative. I would say more people here would rather have Vaughn than Harrell and Vaughn is hated here.

well agree to disagree, hope we get to vote next year.

What the heck does Philly do with Noel and Embiid?

Harrell at least fills a huge need and should contribute immediately, there were a couple people on here hyping him up. I don't remember anybody being positive about Vaughn.

What a **** draft for Houston...my god, if they didn't have enough assets to hand deliver Aldridge before tonight, they sure as **** do now.

They don't do anything, Embiid medically retires after the season

Embiid's the sideline MVP he needs to sit out next year and defend his title.
