What Exactly Do the Rockets Have in Terms of Draft Picks?

According to the interview with Morey today, the 2nd rounder they are getting from the Suns is the only guaranteed pick for this coming draft at this point.

The cupboard really was bare for 2013

Post left out that our 2013 1st rounder goes to Atlanta if we make the playoffs.

 

And the pick from the Lakers via Dallas will not be conveyed to the Rockets because the Mavericks will be in the lottery.

I think this was part of the Hill deal.

 

Better to have no picks this year which is considered to be an off-year aside from Shabazz Muhammad. Even Nerlens is looking to be a 2014 player now. Let's get all of our draft obligations out of the way from the Harden deal and regroup for 2014 with an eye towards reaccumulating picks to go all-in for one final superstar.

 

That pick went to OKC in the Harden deal.

 

I'll still hit up Beck's Prime Sportatorium with my sons (and a brief appearance by the wife before she turns it into another chance to shop for shoes or Victoria's Secret) an NBA draft night tradition...in case we pull a trade that night.

Go Rockets

 

Knowing the Rockets. They'll draft some guy in the 2nd round that they flip for Anthony Davis 3 years from now.

 

we only have phoenix's 2nd rounder, but i anticipate some trades in the offseason

 

I don't expect Rockets to be too involved in 2013 draft. I expect they will try to preserve cap space so no first round picks.

 

exactly!

 

I mean we did manage to trade, accumulate and buy 3 First round picks in 2012 draft + a second rounder...i'm not worried. This is morey's specialty :scalping teams of first round draft picks

 

And BUTT-Ramming them for 2nd rounders, I forgot. Morey is a genius at finding gems in the 2nd..and the phoenix second will be high

 

honestly...this is the best case scenario..considering that i really think the entire college landscape is quite weak.. there is no clear/concise stand outs this season...imho

 

Why do we need more draft picks? We have the youngest team
in the league, a solid starting core of players, a sizable amount
of cap room, a leggit star in Harden etc. I think proven NBA players
are going to line up at Toyota Center wanting a chance to talk
Daryl Morey. Things are looking good! Scary good!....:grin:

You want as many draft picks as you can get when your
old and going nowhere! That's not us!!!

(P.S) I wouldn't complain if we had a couple of 1st rounders though..:grin:
