Dallas is 3 losses behind Memphis and Atlanta with 3 games left, so the Rockets will not be getting that pick this year. Still a good trade chip in moving up though.
I don't see Dallas moving into the top 10 so I doubt we get that pick. I'm cool with a lotto pick and a midrounder though, especially with ol buddy coming over next year. Hopefully we can package them and make a move.
With the way we have been playing and the way McHale has suddenly changed his coaching plans I wouldn't be surprised if Morey has a couple "handshake" deals in place. He said he had been working on the Gasol deal for 4 months or something like that. Makes me wonder why all of a sudden we want 13 or 14th pick.
... after all, Howard's back surgery came out of nowhere just like our "plans to tank" did. I'm subscribing to this thread in case we trade Lowry, both picks and something else for Dwight this off season.
If it were that easy, every team (yes mathematically possible ) would have a top five pick this year!
Martin, Scola, & Lowry do have good trade value, but the problem is finding a buyer. Its just a limited market, and the fact that SOOOO many teams utterly tanked the hell out of this season means that most of those bad teams really, really want to strike gold in this years draft. We are just going to have to wait and see if a team that doesn't have players that really fit what they are trying to build and really has a major need at the PG, SG, or PF spots and values what one of those three bring to the table.
Boston lost tonight. If Boston and Orlando continue to drop, and the Mavericks win out, we have a shot at pick 20, correct?
If DAL ends up tied with BOS, DEN and/or ORL for that 10th best record, there will be a random drawing to break the tie. We'd better have a representative in that room... For the 4/21 games, we'll be rooting for DAL to win @ CHI, ORL to lose @ UTH, and DEN to lose @ PHO.
It is nice to have draft picks, but I am not going to pay much attention to it if they are not top 10s. Strategically, We need mainly focus on trade.
Yes. This draft is severely underrated. Could possibly be the deepest in history because of the lockout.
Right now NYK Pick: 16th (tied with Utah, they are 1-0 against Utah) Should be 15-17th when it's all said and done. HOU Pick: 13th DAL Pick: 17th (the Rockets are not getting it this year which is could be a good thing since they already have 2)
If Milwaukee goes on a 3 game win streak and we lose our final game, do we have odds for 12th? We'd be tied with them. I guess GO BUCKS!
