magicbalala245 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Rockets stockpiling on draft picks for Dwight or Gasol The Houston Rockets continued stockpiling first-round picks Wednesday in a bid to move into the top 10 of Thursday night's draft and enhance their chances of landing a superstar big man, league sources told CBSSports.com. While Houston has not given up on making a play for Orlando center Dwight Howard, their swap of the 14th pick with Milwaukee for the 12th pick Wednesday gave them an arsenal of the 12th, 16th and 18th picks that could be used to finally consummate their longtime pursuit of Lakers forward Pau Gasol.

magicbalala245 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 We want no part of Pau Gasol. You do but according to multiple reports now I'm guessing Gasol is the fallback if Rockets can't acquire Dwight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Nope everything leading up to today indicated Houston wants no part of Pau especially if the cost is a lottery pick. If you want Kevin Martin + Luis Scola then sure we can talk, but Houston has no interest in parting with assets for Pau. Last year it would have been fine but trading for Pau now does NOTHING for us and hurts the cap flexibility we want going into free agency. This is either a smokescreen or pure bullcrap.
