    Shawne Williams has not played since Feb. 11 (foot, knee), making $3 mill, has $3.1 mill player option.

    The pick is Houston's lottery-protected first-rounder, so if Rockets make playoffs, it's Portland's.

    Since the Nets are a lotto team for the forseeable future, that means the pick is fictional.

    Edit: the Houston pick is marginally better.

    Lets hope they do then. I thought "lottery protected" is just 1-3 picks?

    Currently that would be the 17th pick in the draft

    That's almost easier to do that rooting for Portland right now. Especially since at this point I hope they lose every last game (except when playing the Lakers).

    Blazers still need to make room on their roster if we take on two players for one... someone gonna get cut.

    Now all we need to hear is "Sources: Orlando Magic and Portland Trailblazers close to a deal moving Jamal Crawford and Nolan Smith for J.J. Reddick and their first rounder"

    Fan should ignore Okur/Williams. Deal is about #Blazers' flexibility from not having Wallace opt-in at $11 mill. plus assets for deals.

    The proposed 2012 draft pick the Nets would send to Blazers in Wallace deal would be protected only through the top 3 spots, sources tell Y!
