    The RGV Vipers have traded Reno’s original 2nd round pick in the 2013 NBA D-League draft (acquired by RGV on 12/18/12) to Reno in exchange for the Bighorns’ original 1st round pick in the 2013 NBA D-League draft.

    I wonder if 1st round picks get paid more.

    That's what happens when you have one team that is well managed and is a single affiliate, and another that is shared by three teams and is largely neglected. Be interesting to see where this player ends up.

    I posted this in Bima's thread about D-League trade guidelines, but wanted to post it here in this thread as well about this trade.

    There was more to the deal and it had nothing to do with salaries (like you would think it would if such a deal happened in the NBA). The Vipers maximized league player acquisition processes to acquire the upgraded pick -- it wasn't just a second round pick for a first rounder.

    Here was the report of the original trade on December 18, 2012 that got the Vipers that second round pick from Reno:

    It was Jerome Jordan for center Vernon Maclin and the second round pick.
