Orlando owns pick #44 during tonight�s draft.</div>
Not a big deal, but hopefully this trade is the first of many tonight. :drunk:

 

54th pick usually doesn't turn into anything. Only 50-60 pick ont he top of my head who has made a name for himself is Manu Ginobili. This is very unimportant, it's likely that Houston didn't have to pay much.

 

they probably just want to get a european star and own him that isnt highly scouted

 

a waste of money if you ask me.... you might as well shouldve just bought the 60th pick for 6 spots and a few dollars less....

 

I am expecting a pretty big trade from the Rockets tonight. I am pretty sure they bought this pick because they are going to be trading the other pick, and likely another few players, for someone significant (hopefully Artest).
