"Draft day is going to be crazy, and if the Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards have anything to say about it, it will be just a little bit crazier."
Hoopsworld is getting dumber day by day! It's the worst basketball website of all time and it will keep on falling down to it's never ending bottomless pit!
As long as Luther is gone, and we move up or rwe make a significant trade, i'm happy. can't wait for the draft already
Isn't Lee predicted to be a 2nd round pick? Are the Rockets going back in time and selecting more 2nd rounds picks in the mid first round? Saying this, I know nothing about Lee. Perhaps he is the new Landry.... I hope so.. But I don't trust Hoop World.
According to draftexpress, espn and yahoo sports, Lee was one of the players that their stocks rose tremendously after workouts. I don't really know what kind of player he is, as long as we can move up to evaluate better talents and drop Head in the process, i trust Morey to make a good selection
You're wrong. A draft pick has no value. You still have to adhere to the rules of the CBA - aka salary out, salary in. So we'd have to get a player back if we traded head. Besides that, my reasoning why this is BS still stands. That, and Hoopsworld called him "untouchable", LOL.
Talk about Rudy Gay II! Getting the #18 and wasting it on Courtney Lee would be another draft day disaster. We can buy a #31 to #40 pick and get Lee. Sheesh. But it sounds like something Morey would do.
For what it's worth, Jonathan Givogny of Draft Express says the following about a possible pick swap with the Wizards mentioned by Hoopsworld. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2008/06/18/DI2008061801365.html *** Washington, DC: Hoopsworld has reported a rumored deal between the Rockets and Wiz... Washington essentially sends their 18th pick and a player for Luther Head and the Rockets' 25th. Any truth to the rumor? If so, who would the Wiz be looking to grab at 25? Douglas-Roberts, Batum, Hendrix, Hickson? Jonathan Givony: I've heard that trade too, not the exact parameters, but that's something that's out there. I think the Rockets want to move up and select Courtney Lee at 18. Not sure how much there is to this though, there's always a lot of rumors on draft day. As for who the Wizards could get at 25 - Ryan Anderson came in for a workout recently, Jason Thompson if he's there, Arthur if he's there, Batum, Chalmers if he's there. There are a lot of options.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Could it be that Portland is wanting Courtney Lee and if the Rox can get him, they can complete a trade for Rush?
1560 announced the rockets were trading the 25th pick and Luther Head to the Celtics for the 30th pick... LOL...I almost peed my pants.
