    So will this be another 14th pick just to keep the streak going? (Assuming our own will be higher)

    that's why the pick protection for the Raptors is like being raped by your little sister.

    Pretty good summary. Don't worry, the Moreyites will have a "reasonable" explanation for all these "moves".

    Exactly.

    I bet Morey got some inside intel telling him that now since LA got Nash, they're willing to pony up Bynum in a Howard trade to go for another Finals push next year.

    That's really gonna suck for the rest of the league, if so.

    Haha, you know, the irony would be out in full force if that were the case. Trading away/losing all of these core guys from the team and yet still ending up with the big fish? That certainly would be a wild scenario.

    This is an absolutely awful trade......i just don't understand why a team like the kings wouldn't offer any more than this????

    wow great trade for the raps, sucks for Rockets fans, I though Lowry would have more value than this. He;s a very good point guard.

    That the Rockets are finally rebuilding form the ground up, what they should have been doing since 2009, but whatever.

    Why did you need a Moreyite to explain that to you?

    Are you unfamiliar with basketball so much so as to not be able to discern this factoid on your own?

    Yep. That extra pick trumps anything the Nets can offer. It all depends on the Lakers and Bynum now.

    Maybe, they are possibly starting 2 rookies and Lowry has injury issues. I would say there is a 25% chance they are absolutely terrible and in the bottom 4-5 teams in the league and a 25% that their rookies gel and they are a 6-7 seed in the playoffs.
