So far we traded Van Horn, Doleac and a second rounder for Tim Thomas and two first rounders (one of which will be used to complete the Marbury trade).
Uh...what? We can't just pick and choose which pick Phoenix gets. They're getting the NYK 2006 pick, that's final. The only good thing is the pick is top 10 protected until like 2010. But there's no way Phoenix would accept San Antonio's pick instead of our own. That's crazy, and it's not even legal.
Are you sure? I remember when the Grizzlies traded Othella Harrington to the Knicks for the #27 pick (which we got in the Ewing trade) just to complete another trade, so they wouldn't have to use their lottery pick. I think if we have multiple picks in a season, we get to choose which pick to give them, when it's under the restriction of "future pick". If I'm wrong and someone has a solid basis for saying so, please let me know.
