    I am an optimist, but also a realist..........therefore, we will get the top pick (# 1), but draft someone who most likely would have been there if we picked at our normal spot - #8....

    Yes... but someone stated that the lotto has been moved to halftime of Wednesday's game because there is no game on Tuesday. Has anybody confirmed that?

    i say if we get between the 1st and 3rd pick we get thomas, aldridge, or morrison, but if we get the 8th pick i saw we get roy, gay, or carney, but im really leaning torwards either morrison or roy.

    I think the Rockets will land a little higher than 8th. I am saying 6.

    That's not possible, unfortunately. It's either 1-3, 8-11

    In one of chad ford's q&a, it was mentioned that Brandon Roy would only work out with the teams that have the 1-5 picks. Can someone confirm this?

    Why would anyone want Tyrus Thomas? He is going to be a clone of Stromile Swift. Outstanding athletic ability but zero offense skills. He shoots worse than Ryan Bowen

    A reminder to those who already know, and a note to the rookies.

    chat is normally going for draft/lottery activites, if you have never been in chat, go to http://www.clutchfans.net/chat.cfm and have a realtime discussion on who we should get.

    I could see Portland grabbing Tyrus #1. Not only because they're a terrible organization, but they'd have an excuse to dump Randolph. We don't need Tyrus. His game is too similar to Swifts and if we're going to go with a 4, we should grab Aldridge. I wouldn't be upset if we traded down though.

    #8 has allways been my lucky number.

    all signs point to carney.
