looking up this website http://www.orlandosentinel.com/automagic/sports/2000-05-23/SPTmagic23052300.html they wrote in there that orlando does not intend to keep all of their draft picks. does that mean they will give us the pick that they owe us? if they do, do you guys think there is a possibility that we could give up our 9 pick and the pick that orlando ships us for a higher pick. i think the clippers would be a good team to trade with, because i also read in nbatalk.com that swift REALLY does not want to be in la and if we made that trade the clippers can address more than one pressing need (they have plenty of pressing needs!!). hell i would even be willing to give up our second round pick also for that higher pick. ------------------
It more likely means that Orlando intends to trade one or more of their picks rather than pay up to the Rockets this year.
