Sources: Rockets in Position to Acquire #5
Trade talks between the Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets have intensified in the hours leading up to Thursday night’s NBA draft and have put the Rockets in position to acquire the Kings’ No. 5 pick if Sacramento elects to trade it, according to sources close to the process.
One source said this is being “heavily discussed.”
Sources told ESPN.com the Kings plan to wait as long as possible before committing to the trade to see who falls to them at No. 5. It’s believed that Sacramento will walk away from the trade if Kansas’ Thomas Robinson is still available after four picks are made.
