    Jumpman, I really think those ESPN.com draft spots shown at the link you provided are just the projected before this mornings announcements on NBATV.....

    I was watching the very end of the NBATV tie-breaker deal and they said that 1) Charlotte won the tie-breaker over Atlanta 2) Minnesota won the tie-breaker over Boston 3) Houston won the tie-breaker over Golden State

    I may be wrong but the TV does not lie :cool: , Houston won the tie-breaker on the little NBA TV chart I saw:)

    That "projected draft order" was online like that 2 days ago after the Wednesday night games finished. Hardly up to the minute, unlike this thread.

    i'd rather take my chances if someone told me that it DIDn't stay the same. better chance of top 3 than 9/10/11 ;)

    With the 8th pick, the Rockets select Brandon Roy!

    I hope so, if only he would fall that far. I'm hoping that either:

    A) Noah comes out.
    B) Someone in the top 7 falls in love with Tiago (if he comes over).
    C) Someone in the top 7 (i.e Hawks) goes for a PG.

    If one of those happen then I think Roy or Gay could fall to us.

    what a dream that would be..

    i'd trade the 8/32 for the 6/late 2nd rnd or next yr 2nd rnd or whatever if it meant Roy..

    Hopefully Noah and mcROberts will come out and push some guys down closer to us.

    Is there any link anywhere that we got the 8th pick? I want to be for sure because I'm reading conflicting reports that we lost the flip.
