Dalembert and the 14th pick go the Bucks for the 12th pick, Jon Brockman

I don't get it?

Obviously the Rockets are going for Howard, but wouldn't the 14th and Dalembert (either as a player or a trading chip) be significantly more valuable than the 12th pick?

Possibly.

I think the Rockets are hoping to add something to the #12 to land a top-8 pick to package for Howard.

Daryl Morey hopes to be like the guy who started with a paper clip and ended up with a house through a series of trades.

Daryl Morey is like a craigslist trader.  Start off with a Pinto and trade up to a Ferrari.

I'm interested to see if he can actually pull it off.

Anybody still think we might have a deal with Houston going, as previously reported?
Perhaps we draft Marquis Teague for them, and they swing an earlier pick our way for him? With the possibility of us taking on a guy like Scola to even things up...
