Lottery Countdown

Rockets should tank more, what´s the benefit of another 1st round loss?

 

Those are old dude, at the time we were like in the 8th spot for the playoffs, the rockets are currently in terms of mock drafts are around(12-14, borderline), pretty much if you don't make the playoff you're in the top 14....

Well if the rockets could pull of a trade with the Jazz that could land them NY's first pick(which has lost some value given that the knick's actually have a shot at the playoffs)...the rockets could have two top 14 picks, giving them possibilities to trade those two picks for a top 5 pick....cough*Derrick Favors*cough

They screwed up that mock draft. The top 8 teams from both conferences go to the playoffs and are excluded from the lottery. The bottom 7 teams from both conferences go to the lottery. The only team it changes, is if there is a draft pick owed from a previous trade.

They have only 4 teams for the West, but have 10 teams for the east. Raptors, Bobcats, and Bulls would be in the playoffs for the East and ineligible for a lottery pick.

The Knicks traded their 2010 draft pick to the Jazz in 2004 by Isiah Thomas, as part of the Gugliotta trade. In this lottery there would be 8 Western teams and 5 Eastern teams.

ESPN has the correct mock lottery.

Fixed. I haven't had my coffee yet.

 

I really need coffee.

Isiah traded the draft pick to Phoenix as part of the Marbury trade. Phoenix traded NY's 1st round draft pick to the Jazz to get Gugliotta(expiring contract).
