Dalembert and the 14th pick go the Bucks for the 12th pick, Shaun Livingston, Jon Brockman, Jon Leurer sources tell Y!

Seems like a strange move to only jump 2 spots, unless it's part of another deal to climb even higher.

I posted this in the trade the #2 pick thread, I don't see it really changes much for US yet.

Rockets are trying to gradually improve their picks for a reason..

For their sake I hope it isn't Howard.

I can only imagine they are about to move Lowry and Livingston was brought in to back up Gragic.

Lowry and stuff to the Raptors for #8 maybe?

Its obvious the Rockets want to make some noise and what bigger noise there is than landing Dwight Howard.

what team would be a perfect fit for lowry?

I can see Houston flipping some of this and lowry to Portland for the 6th pick. Ortland gets their pg and draft Zeller/Leonard with the 11th

Lowry and 12 for 6

Then 6 and 16 for 2

Then 2 and 18 with pieces for Howard

That is my guess

If the rockets just got Livingston, maybe they're keeping Lowry and moving Dragic

I think Dragic is a free agent and Lowry wants out. My guess is Livingston is meant to be a backup and if they can't bring back Dragic he can start during a down season.

He wanted out because of coaching if I remember right. There are a lot of coaches out there too? Still, you could just as easily be right.

if i was the raptors and lillard was off the board at 8, i would call the rockets and offer 8 for lowry.

Unintentionally held my breath when I saw "Rockets Trade Dalembert To" in the WT. Seems like a good deal for them to get out of Dally's contract and move up two spots.

What really are the Rockets up to? If it is multiple trades to get at Howard. Maybe Orlando might have an interest in2012 #2,2013 protected 1st, and 18 and players to free up Tukalou/Howards salary from Houston?. They might select Drummond at 2 and still have 18 and 19 to fill their roster.Why we would accept 6 and 16 for 2 is the big question unless we are dumping TT salary and/or trading Augustine... then we pickPG Lillard at 6 and a SF/PF at 16 and 31?

If Houston is going to pull the trigger on a number of complex trades, We should expect to hear about it well before the draft begins at 730. :wink:
