    Knicks: 8th seed (tied)
    Rockets: 15th seed (LAST in conference)

    Current value of draft pick swap: WORTHLESS

    Need to figure draft position, not playoff seed (in two different conferences), to get an accurate comparison.

    yeah, they don't get our draft pick and It looks even better for potential trades.

    Do you want to make a TipJar bet on who has the better season-Rockets or Knicks?

    $10 per win differential.

    Yea but look at it this way, our OWN pick is much more valuable than expected...

    Not really, that pick still has value to all the teams that rank above the NY knicks in the standings.

    Looking at the Knicks rankings it looks like the pick might be late lottery. The rockets could use that pick to trade (if they do end up having a worse year that the Knicks) for a young player on a team that ranks above the knicks..

    The only way that pick becomes absolutely worthless is if the knicks walk away with the best record at the end of the season, and I don't see that happening.. :cool:

    No charts? I'm disappointed. Charts tracking the trend would be appreciated.
