    ...who do you think the new team would "steal" from us?

    Sengun is the better player, but given the SOF fans that go with him, I choose Green even though he is the lesser player currently. I also think with a new coaching staff, the ceiling is still high on green, so it would be a decent choice.

    Easily Green. Highest all-star potential in the most proven archetype for star players.

    If there were an expansion draft the rockets would retain all their players

    I think teams would target green. He still has the highest ceiling in his draft class and is super young. I bet teams feel if he gets in a better organization with a better system that they can unlock his potential. #2 is Sengun, no question. Jabari #3.

    those are our 3 most attractive players to other teams.

    Lol at Maj voting KPJ. Blind cheerleader until the end. Useful idiot. Tough call between Sengun and Green. Guess it depends on the rest of the roster

    It’s team dependent, I think Smith would have the greatest number of teams picking him first. I could see some going Green, Sengun, maybe even Eason. Porters off court issues keep him from going #1

    Maj. He's one of KPJ's biggest cheerleaders. A complete and utter buffoon

    Green looks to be the safest bet...
    Sengun would be the most intriguing...
    Jabari could be perceived as best value (more time on rookie contract...)

    i think Green would be most likely to be poached (50%)... but depending on the rest of the squad they are able to assemble Sengun could be a preferred option (30%)... but a new org could go with the youngest option (20%)...

    It’s probably green tbh. I think that’s how other teams would see it

    Sources say KPJ could easily start for many teams in the league so it’s gotta be him.

    I expect 7 or so votes for KPJ. And we all should know by now who they are.
