Why no rumors about second round picks?

A mystery to me is why there has been no rumors about the Lakers trading their #37 and #39 pick. With 12 contracts, Walton, Douthit and the #10 pick, there isn't any room for on the roster for the picks. I read somewhere once that Mitch was contacting teams at the end of the first round about trading the two second round picks for theirs, but I haven't heard anything more. Memphis is rumored to want to sell their pick because of financial problems - why not send $3 million plus the two second rounders (who don't get guaranteed contracts) to Memphis for their pick? DraftExpress.com has a story up on "Reports out of Houston suggest that a deal is on the table which would see the Rockets trading out of the 1st round." But it is Atlanta that is mentioned, not the Lakers.

We have heard so many rumors about the Lakers that I find it odd that a trade that makes a lot of sense we have heard nothing about.

Now, it looks like the Lakers wanted two players they thought would be available when they picked.
