    Yup, it's going to be Sterns fault that the Rockets get the 14th pick, which they have 98,2 % chance to get. Conniving b*stard!

    Sterns draft preference

    1)minnesota
    2)new orleans
    3)charlotte

    I feel bad for bobcats they sucked so bad to earn a 75% chance to lose the lottery...

    My official guess at the order

    1)washington
    2)charlotte
    3)new orleans
    ...
    14)houston

    The Rockets are so "stuck" it seems like a good time for something improbable to happen. Just for fun I am going to say we get a top three pick and Morey drafts another undersized forward and trades them for Shane Battier. And Les says we have the best team ever assembled (by mental midgets). And we have another .500 season. And....

    Not 2
    Not 3
    Not 4
    Not 5
    Not 6
    Not 7

    I believe were gonna win the 14th pick 8 times. I'm just saying what I believe. The way we play were gonna challenge each other in practice.

    So pessimistic...

    it would be one time EVERY 50 YEARS, not more than 50 years.

    This is clearly Morey's strategy. We increase our odds of being the first 14th ranked team to win the lottery with every year that we finish 14th in the lottery.

    3 times at 14th worst record out of 50 years means that IF a 14th team does win the lottery within 50 years, there is a 6% chance it will be us!

    Genius!

    The Rockets will get the #1 pick...... and then trade it for Gasol......

    Dragic for the the max, couple him with Lowry and Martin as a 6th man... the chemistry will be off the chain...

    C- Gasol
    PF- Patterson
    SF- Morris
    SG- Lowry
    PG- Dragic

    6th man- Martin

    Make it happen............

    You are joking.......right? What fool in their right mind would trade the number 1 pick for a 32 year old soft center?

    If the guy opens the envelope and it isn't the rockets at #14, does that mean that we are guaranteed a top 3 pick? According to that chart it does......:confused:

    Well the lottery started in the 80s and the 14th pick has never moved up so we have about 20 or so of those years passed!

    yes a team can only move into top 3 or back 3 spots assuming three better teams leapfrogged them.
