Not only did the Rockets blow three first-round draft picks for Eddie Griffin, but now the team to which they effectively traded those picks has signed the “troubled” forward (that’s what we call so many of the NBA’s young thug criminals, right?).
So, it’s effectively a four-pick bonanza for the Nets, courtesy of Carroll D and Rudy T.
Just a partial explanation of why our Rockets have been so underwhelming (we’ll leave Kelvin Cato’s huge contract for another time).
