    According to the Houston Chronicle:

    "The Rockets on Thursday traded reserve guard Bryce Drew to the Chicago Bulls for a conditional first-round draft pick or two second-round picks" <-- note the **OR**

    According to the Chicago Tribune:
    "The Bulls on Thursday acquired Drew from the Houston Rockets for future considerations, likely a conditional first-round pick and two second-rounders." <-- note the **AND**

    I would guess it deals with the amount of time Drew plays and where the bulls pick is.

    Can the Rockets decide which pick they prefer, as long as its not lottery or is it all up to Chicago?

    I like the two 2nd-rounders scenario. Imagine if we had gotten Othella Harrington and Cuttino Mobley for Bryce Drew?

    Anyone know when the picks are? Are they for next year?

    No telling for sure. I called the Rockets to clarify the conditions of the pick, but they wouldn't release the info. My guess is that it is either/or and that the Trib is just wrong. My guess is that we'll get a first rounder if the Bulls make the playoffs and 2 second-rounders if they are in the lotto. Given that the Bulls are a lock for the lotto, I hope I'm wrong. Fortunately, Rudy can do a lot with a second-round pick.
