Rockets have been offered a 1st round pick for Thomas Robinson (UPDATE: So much for "imminent")

    14 is the no mans land of picks... Not high enough to catch someone who drops, yet not low enough to feel like you got nothing to lose

    Given that Utah doesn't have 2012-13 cap room, a trade exception or sufficient amount of unguaranteed contract $s, any deal with Utah would have to be agreed to before or during the draft but only executed days later in July when the 2013-14 season cap figures come into play.

    Now I doubt the Utah Jazz are going to go back on their words just to screw the Rockets, but...

    Assuming Millsap, Big Al, Mo, and Marvin walk, they'd have $28 million in cap. They are $8M above the cap right now with $3M owed in tax.

    Perhaps you guys should wait until a trade is actually done before celebrating it.

    Don't suggest this. All the know-nothings will attack you and say we can't possibly take that chance, blah, blah, blah, it's circumvention, etc. :rolleyes:

    If SA is high on T Rob, Morey better rethink his 'get rid of him' strategy. I know it's the most likely way we get Howard, but if the Spurs want him, that means he'll probably turn into something very good.

    We know something about no man's land picks. Ironic -- if this goes through we've traded a 13th pick (2Pat) for a 5 (Robinson) for a 14th pick and we are basically back to square one. Is there a third Morris brother this year?

    A lottery pick would be sweet, throw in trading Brooks and or Delfino for a 2nd RD pick and we'd be set in the draft.

    This. Please Morey. The kid is only 18 and looks like a young Durant.
