Question about Poison Pills, our rights draft rights with our future European 2nd rounders, and 2nd round picks in general?


Anyone know if teams can give 2nd round picks their exceptions to sign and how that works?
Is it only limited to Euro's because of the buyout?
For our Euro pick this year, it would make sense, to sign him with an exception with a 3 year guaranteed deal?, or to give another team a chance to poison us?

Like how The Bucks, they signed Ilyasova, with a guaranteed 3 year deal at 2.5m a year.
I know they were under the cap, but we could somehow use our exemptions to do this as well.
It would limit our ability to add a FA but it would avoid us the trouble of getting a poison pill.
They avoided the poison pill, while getting the bird rights, while being able to offer him the best possible contract.

If we get a 2nd round pick in the future, that is NOT European, that we know is a steal, are we better off waiting to sign them when we have the ability to use an exemption, or if we are under the cap?
Following what The Bucks did with Ilyasova?




Ahmad Nivins was drafted in 2009 draft with Roddy Beabouis by Dallas and is is on our current summer league roster.
He was signed but then was cut by shortly after, and his rights were sent to us with, Giorgos Printezis, in the Tyson Chandler trade.
I don't understand, how this is all possible. But he looks like he can be a good poor man's Taj Gibson/ Paul Millsapp.
Are we eligible to continue to give him a 3 year deal to avoid the poison pill?

Giorgos Printezis, I read somewhere that we actually offered him a contract but he wasn't interested in coming over. It might have been for the veteran minimum like Pablo for about 400-500k.
So i don't know if he would have interest in coming here in the future or not.

Kostas Papanikolaou, I know he was ranked by some sites to be one of the best European players. He has an interest in coming over, but he has a buyout for like 1.5m or something for next year.
So waiting a couple years till his contract ends, might make more sense. Unless we use our mini MLE to sign him, to a larger deal, it wouldn't cover all the cost of the buyout, making it not worthwhile to come over next year. But with the way the poison pill is constructed, it probably would make more sense to not sign them with the 2nd round pick price but with the mini MLE or wait till 2015 till our contracts expire.


Tomislav Zubcic he was the 56 pick of the Toronto Raptors this season and he is suppose to be over. I think he looks much better than what I saw from Kostas Papanikolaou, with the limited videos.
He looks like an absolute steal, he is a 7 footer, with some guard skills, a crazy shot, and great agility. I would not have been upset if we drafted him over our pick.
I think he is a complete steal, and I expect a poison pill to be given to him, if Toronto signs him under the 56th pick salary.

It just defeats the point of finding a gem in the 2nd round, IF YOU HAVE to develop them.
The roster spot, the time you put in, and you are providing him a salary, so you can screw yourself in the butt?

Anyone else thinks Toronto's 56th pick looks like a big sleeper?
Looks like a home run to me.

This is what happens with a deep draft like this, not only are there sleepers in 2nd rounds, but players that were not drafted period, that can become good players in the future.
