    Winning the flip and getting 16 instead of 18 is karma for not tanking. All of you pro-tankers should shut up for one month.

    Yeah, if he hadn't had those 4 points against us the last time we played them, the Rockets would have won 101-102.

    Are you related to him or something?

    Anything is possible, plus Howard if true wants to be traded as soon as the Magic are out of the playoffs. Draft picks + Lowry + Martin + Patterson for Howard and Turkoglu is what might get it done. I can't wait for Draft night.

    No, they do not.

    As long as the trade was not CONSUMMATED until right after the Rockets make their selection on behalf of the other team (like with the Battier-Gay trade), it won't count as a future draft without a pick.

    The Nets obligation will keep the Rockets from trading both picks (without getting a 2012 or unprotected 2013 pick) until after the #14 pick is made by the Rockets.

    It will also keep the Rockets from being able to trade their own pick until 2015 at the earliest. But that's a story for another time.

    Yeah man you're right, he sucks cause he doesn't have a high ppg and he doesn't pass the eyeball test like scola.

    Its alright man, keep hoping for austin rivers!

    Clutchfans jumps in euphoria after discovering their draft pick has leapfrogged a mammoth 2 picks from 18 to a 16, when they were originally expecting a top 5 pick and always knew it was in the teens.

    i can now drool over what we can get for Lowry + Martin + Scola + Dalembert + Budinger + 14th + 16th.

    Dwight Howard anyone?

    Pointless observation: the 16th pick just "look" a lot better than the 18th pick. 16th pick screams middle-of-the-draft. 18th pick screams bottom-half of the draft.

    Actual thoughts: It seems that the 2nd tier prospects in this draft tend to teeter out in the late-teens. So there may actually be a significant difference in terms of value for the pick. At pick 16 there is definitely still a guy available with high upside. This should help whether the Rockets want to trade up in the draft, or putting together a Dwight Howard package.

    How bad would it be if the Suns won a top 3 pick?

    Or we can trade our #14 and #16 for 5 second round picks! Imagine 5 Parsonses (plural for Parsons?)!!

    Package both picks with whatever to move up to draft Beal. Then get a decent big man. Then we would have a direction.

    Xperts say that last year's draft was deeper than expected. This year it might be similar.
