    I think that was in reference to the anticlimactic draft lottery, not the draft.

    It's worth the 15th pick and two slices of day old pizza, seriously.

    :(

    What is the 14th pick worth? Well, worth the same as any other 14th pick in history.

    I know! Why would 14 be better than 13? 13 can pick 14 if they want.:confused:

    Scola in a package for #7 would be awesome.

    IDK. Last years #14 would have been worth a #6-7 this year.;)

    Unfortunately, due to it being twitter, he left out the 2nd part of the message.

    ...14th pick, which the Rockets would readily give up in a package for the 2nd pick.

    Value-wise, I think we'll get the best return if we kept it ourselves, since Morey has shown to be an exceptionally good talent scout.

    Though I'm pretty sure this pick will be thrown in if we're to trade up.

    I think it's hard to quanitify, other than the obvious (a little better than #15, a little worse than #13). Maybe this question will make it real:

    Would we trade the #14 for Omer Asik? Would Chicago do it?

    Let me go a little farther: For which of these big men would you give up the #14?

    Dalambert (resigned for $6 million a year)
    Omer Asik
    Kendrick Perkins
    Nene
    Kaman
    Tyson Chandler
    Deandre Jordan
    Javale McGee

    LOL! And when PP becomes the next Chris Bosh in 2 years you'll want to trade our 2013 lottery pick back for him.

    Any of them.

    Another way to think of it: what slot in the 2010 draft is the 2011 #14 worth? I doubt we get anyone as promising as Patterson from this draft. Maybe #18, where Eric Bledsoe was drafted?

    EDIT: Or, conversely, if you were to trade Patterson for a 2011 pick, what's the lowest pick you'd consider? I think #5.
