Now we all know that the Rockets owes the Griz a first round pick,And that the Griz owes the Pistons a First round pick as well from the Otis Thrope Trade (What Idiots!) Anyways, From what I read is, That they willing to take our 18 pick if Orlando willing to cough it up to the Rockets.There very desperate to clear there debt with Detriot. Why? Cause they know they going to Suck! next year; and they cant seem to think of Detroit getting the #1 Overall Draft pick for Otis Thorpe! LOL Funny Huh! Anyways, If we end of giving them the 18th pick, DO you think they will make a trade with us for there #1 this year for our draft picks, since there will be no sure shot to take? ------------------ When I was Little I call in a local sports show and told them the Rockets should Trade Otis Thorpe for a Lottery Pick. They found me to be stupid.
That's an interesting theory. It would work out well for both sides. LOL - Otis Thorpe for no. 1 draft pick. . . ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down"
I could see the Rox getting the Grizz pick if Orlando conveys the #18 to us. The Magic have #15 and #23 and also want to move up; presumably they would not want to help another team move up which might screw up their own chances; but generally their picks would only nab, say, #10, certainly not #4-ish. If the #4 could yield Shane Battier (and he might just go that high, cause high school prospects are projects, after all) then I could see #13, #18, #22, and possibly the Chicago and/or Detroit picks owed us. ------------------

Wow! I must have been living out of the country when that Otis Thorpe thing happened! I didnt know that! Wow! So who ended up being the #1 pick that year? ------------------ "I didn't like jr. high when I was there. Why would I want to watch it on tv?" P. Mesku's opinion about "Survivor"
I forgot to metion, Is back in 97 I was working for Smoothie King Across from the Summit; and Otis Thrope walks in with this Guy with a Pistons Polo Shirt on; ( It might be a trainer or his Agent) Anyways I ask him can I put my hands against his! Since Bill Worelle Always talks about his Humungous Hands! So I did, and Yeah He got some Big Ass Hands! I ask him what the Pistons going to do that up coming year; He told me that he's going to be playing in Vancouver! I said Really! I told him that I been up there before, Then he ask me how is it up there? Like He never gone! I told him that it was a cool place; Wonderful Eviroment. Well He got his Power Punch Plus and Left! ------------------ When I was Little I call in a local sports show and told them the Rockets should Trade Otis Thorpe for a Lottery Pick.
