Is it true that the rockets have no draft picks this year?

    Cause its too bad, we could use Steve Blake from the Maryland Terrapins. That man is the embodiment of what a true point guard should be, pass first and shoot second. He also locks his man pretty tight too and hustles like theres no tomorrow.

    We don't need more draft picks on this team. We are young enough and Rudy is not going to play the pick anyway. :D

    We will have a rookie next year: Bostjan Nachbar.

    If the Rockets make the playoffs (and there really aren't any excuses if they don't) they really can't afford the draft pick -- it would be a guaranteed 3-year contract drafted in the 14-19 range. Long ways to go before the draft, but I can't see that pick helping us really.

    I'm pretty sure we owe one to Atlanta for Morris, and one to the Grizzles because of the Francis trade. This would be a perfect year (granted we make the playoffs) to hand it off to one of those teams.

    there is no draft pick this year. from what i last heard, the memphis grizzlies own the rockets pick this year. it's to complete the steve francis deal that vancouver made years ago.

    too bad, they don't have any picks, if they did, they could've probably picked up an athletic power forward who could play tough defense and grab the rebounds, which would then allow griffin to play small forward.
