Orlando is going to be LOADED with talent after this years draft. They will possibly get 3 lotto picks, and if not 3, 2 and the 14th overall pick! Whom do you guys think they will pick? ------------------ COME BACK CHARLES!
Orlando (Doc Rivers) has said, that if they make the playoffs, they'll give the Rockets their pick (as part of the Francis deal) They'll be going after just about anyone athletic. ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
Joe Joe-Just what I've heard. Can't find any exact sources. But why wouldn't they? They have 2 sure lottery choices, and they want to keep some $$ for the market (Duncan/Hill). $3 mill you have to pay a rookie, is $3 mill less you can offer Duncan. ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
That would be great news for us if we could get their pick. A 14 or 15 pick is better than anyone we have earned (in contrast to via trade) in quite some time. I have a hard time belieiving they would trade us a 14 or 15 pick if they have flexibility though (can trade us ANY 1st rounder within 3 or so years). I would think at worse, they would trade down to a late first rounder (say with the Lakers or Portland), give the late pick to us, and in return get a couple of future 1st and/or second rounders in the deal. It would just seem too sweet to get their pick this year (if it seems to good to be true it probably is), it will not be a bad pick by any means. ------------------
NIKEstrad, When, where did Doc say that? I think they are making the playoffs, easy as pie. ------------------ Moochie hear no evil Moochie speak no evil Moochie see no evil
