The Rockets are looking to moving their picks (14 and 16) and Kyle Lowry to try and move up the draft. They apparently wanted Andre Drummond very badly for whatever reason.

 

Sacramento (5) and Toronto (8) are involved in talks with them.

 

 

 

The other side of this rumor is Houston is trying to get 2 top 10 draft picks to turn around and trade for Dwight Howard.

If they want Drummond, they better make it with Sacramento because he won't slip too far past them even though he should go down to the Rockets at 14.

Sullinger wasn't invited to the green room. Usually top 10-15 guys are invited.

I am so tired of seeing NBA teams draft on potential. Whatever happened to PRODUCTION! I am a huge KY Wildcat fan, but a perfect example of this is Daniel Orton. The kid didn't even start in College and gets drafted in the 1st round?? Now you have a kid like Sullinger who is good and everyone tries to tear him down. He won't be a great player in the NBA, but he could be a good player. We spend way to much time trying to find the next great player. How about drafting good players and hoping they get better!!!!!!

I don't think Sullinger's issue is potential or production. I think teams are concerned with his back.

Bill Walton lead the Portland Trailblazers to a title in 1978 or 1979, i can't remember. If he was coming out of college today, he would fall to the 2nd round because he had bad knees and ankles! If you look hard enough, you can find stuff wrong with 90% of the draftees!

I think it was 1977. Too much money being invested today to not take health - especially a back on a big man- into consideration.

 

Walton played in 35, 51, 65, 58, 14, 33, and 55 games in his first 7 seasons. You can't have that today.

I have looked and looked for a list of those invited to the green room and can't find it. Will you list the names? Thanks!!!!!!

And look at the guys who haven't made it because of injuies....most recently Greg Oden. Too much of a history to risk that many millions.

Sullinger will be nothing more than a role player.

When it find it I sure will, I don't believe it has been released yet.

HOU has declined NOH's trade offer of the #10 overall pick for #14 and #16. Sounds like neither side sold on Austin Rivers.

Yikes!!!

 

Guess those reports about his back have hurt his stock big time. Classic example of why you strike when the iron is hot. Came back to school for what?

What does Rivers have to do with it?(I know you didn't say it. Just thinking out loud) I haven't seen anything projecting him higher than 15 and he reportedly has a promise from a team also. I'd love to see him play for his Dad to be honest.
