    I believe that the Rockets will end up with the number 2 pick. I don't know why. I just have a gut feeling. What do y'all project the number the Rockets will be picking?

    I have more faith than Dr of Dunk....

    I think we'll finish somewhere in the Top 12, but my gut says we probably won't be in the 4-8 range.

    I'm usually right about these things. [​IMG]

    Haha, course...would I miss something as big as this? I did go back to the mall on friday but apparently the scout has already left for houston. (Sigh!) Anyways, had lunch with his assistant at a mongolian BBQ. That food is the da best. You have to try it sometimes if you haven't before. Now back to the subject, the assistant obviously didn't know much of the situation except that there have been heated discussion on what Rockets should do on Draft Day. Some want to trade up (E.G. Swift/Martin), others want to stay put banking on someone slipping(E.G. Miles), and finally the last few who want to trade it away for either a solid vet(like heypartner suggested) or next year's pick when its much deeper.

    My wasabe brother, gonna be there also?

    Clutch-and watch on draft day

    David Stern: We have a trade to announce. The Rockets have traded the #9 pick, and Kenny Thomas, for the #6 pick.

    Don't high schoolers have until June 21 or something to renounce their intentions of going pro? Or am I thinking of something else?

    If that's the case, do you think there'll be many if any trading of lottery picks before that date?

    I'm not saying the Rockets are looking at drafting high schoolers, but there are at least 2 high schoolers and foreign players that may get taken in the lottery (OO and Darius Miles).

    DoD-that's the underclassmen deadline. Also, once a High Schooler declares, he can't come out. He's in it, for good. I'm not sure what happens if you go undrafted. Also, I think OO has fallen out of the lottery, but Tsakalidis seems like a lock.

    Hmm. Ok. I know that for other underclassmen that come out, they can get out of the draft up until June 21 provided they haven't signed an agent.
