    Dont we lose our #1 to Vancouver next year b/c of the Francis deal? I dont believe it's lotto protected.

    Can we ship Milwaukee's pick (which should be much worse than ours) to the Grizzlies in lieu of our own?

    I believe it is one of the next 2 years.

    Clutch, you see all the confusions over what is going on with our picks? We need a document that centralizes all this information for people to refer to.

    If someone will bring this up closer to the beginning of the season, we can check with the Rockets basketball staff and find out the status of any and all picks owed to us or from us to someone else.

    Right now, most of that staff is on vacation.

    I thought the 2 year period began this year. And since we kept this year's pick and drafted Joe Wolf's long lost brother, the pick would automatically be next year.

    The more important issue is whether Vancouver gets our pick, or just a pick that we have (e.g. Milwaukee's, Philly?, or Detroit?)

    We can give them any pick in the first round we want. The lower the better.
