Well, let me tell ya, this whole r/rockets trading nets picks thing is a bit of a hullabaloo, ain’t it? Folks are talkin’ ’bout it like it’s the end of the world, but I reckon it’s just basketball, nothin’ more.

See, from what I gather, them Nets, they owe them Rockets a pick. A first-round pick, they say. Big deal, right? Back in my day, we didn’t have no picks, we just played ball. But these fellas, they like to make things complicated.
Now, this pick, it’s from that Harden fella bein’ traded a while back. Harden, he’s a good player, I hear, scores a lot of points. But he ain’t worth all this fuss, if you ask me. Just a bunch of fellas runnin’ around, throwin’ a ball.
And them Nets, they ain’t doin’ so hot this year. Heard somethin’ ’bout them losin’ a game to the Cavaliers by a whole bunch of points. Ten and a half points, they said. That’s a lot of points, even I know that. So, this pick the Rockets are gettin’, it might be a good one, seein’ as the Nets ain’t winnin’ much.
- So, what’s the big deal with this pick, you ask? Well, it’s like this: the worse the Nets do, the better the pick gets for the Rockets.
- It’s like pickin’ apples. You want the good ones, not the rotten ones, right? So, the Rockets, they want a good pick, a player who can help them win.
- And them Nets, they’re kinda like a bruised apple right now, if you catch my drift.
Then there’s all this talk about bettin’ on the games. Folks bettin’ on how many points this fella Cameron Johnson will score. Nineteen and a half points, they say. Land sakes, that’s a lot of points for one fella! Back in my day, we didn’t have no bettin’, we just played for the love of the game. But these young folks, they like to gamble, I guess.
And they’re always tradin’ players, too. Heard somethin’ about the Nets tradin’ some fella named Schr�der. Traded him for another fella and some future picks. Sounds like a whole lot of huff and puff to me. Can’t these fellas just stick with one team?

Then there’s this Rockets team draftin’ fellas. Pickin’ this Shepperd fella real high, third overall, they say. And then they traded another pick for some fella named Griffin. Griffin, he’s from Dallas, they tell me. Well, good for him, I guess. Hope he can play ball.
This whole r/rockets trading nets picks thing, it’s got folks all riled up. But honestly, I don’t see what the big fuss is about. It’s just basketball. They’re gonna play some games, some teams will win, some will lose. And somebody’s gonna get a good pick, somebody’s gonna get a bad pick. That’s just how it goes.
But these fellas, they like to talk and talk, makin’ it sound all important. They use all these fancy words, like “algorithm” and “spread.” I don’t know nothin’ ’bout that stuff. All I know is, you gotta put the ball in the hoop to win. And that’s the same, no matter how many picks you got.
So, if you ask me, this whole thing is just a bunch of noise. Let them fellas trade their picks, let them bet their money. I’ll just sit here and watch the games. And maybe have a nice cup of tea. That’s what I call a good time.
And if the Rockets get a good player with that Nets pick, well, good for them. Maybe they’ll win some games. And if they don’t, well, there’s always next year, right? That’s what my pappy used to say, “There’s always next year.” And he was a smart fella, my pappy.

So, that’s my two cents on this r/rockets trading nets picks business. Nothin’ to get too worked up about, if you ask me. Just a bunch of fellas playin’ ball. And that’s all there is to it.
