    Minnesota has agreed to trade the 18th overall pick in Thursday's draft to Houston for Chase Budinger, league sources tell Y! Sports.
    Budinger for the 18th pick?

    No kidding. If it was Courtney Lee, maybe even Patrick Patterson I'd understand but Budinger?

    Well, Sota's wings are ****ing dreadful I guess. Still, wouldn't think Budinger's worth that.

    Houston's got 3 top 20 picks now.

    I don't understand this for Minnesota. Sure Budinger gives them 3 point shooting and athleticism, but they've got Martell Webster, Wayne Ellington, and Wes Johnson who are supposed to do the same. They could have easily been able to get someone like Terrence Ross, Quincy Miller, Perry Jones, or Terrence Jones at that spot and trade for a better SG.

    The Rockets now have 3 mid first round picks to combine in a trade.

    Guess this means the Dwight to Houston rumors are going to ramp up even more. Houston could trade two of these for a top 10 pick possibly to lure Orlando into accepting a trade.

    Trade 14 + 16, possibly 18th Pick for Sacramento's 5.
    Trade 5th Pick + Lowry + Martin + Dalembert for Dwight + Hedo.

    Houston line-up: C - Dwight, PF - Scola, SF - Parsons, SG - Lee, PG - Dragic. Key Bench Players: Hedo, Patterson
    Magic line-up: C - Drummond, PF - Anderson, SF - J-Rich/Martin, SG - J-Rich/Martin, PG - Lowry.

    If Budinger's worth 18 then NO can have Collison back for 10

    Why wouldn't Houston do this? They're getting away with highway robbery. Guys like Budinger are pretty easy to get. They're getting the 18th pick which they can turn and cash-in to get a lottery pick.

    The one thing I took from this thread is that I totally forgot Patrick Patterson existed.

    He's a really athletic and energetic power forward. Good hustle player, has some unorthodox flip shots around the basket but he's a got a knack for making them. The problem is he's pretty weak for the 4 spot and a poor shooter. He'll never be anywhere near the shooter Ilyasova is.

    I think he probably has an NBA out clause in his contract and he wouldn't be a bad guy to have off the bench if he wants to come over.
