Popeye: In your "in and out" interview quote of Rudy's radio interview, you said: Since it looks like we might not get the Orlando pick, what is the other pick he was talking about, besides our own? Are we getting a second round pick afterall? Are we actually getting the Detroit/Philly/Turckan pick? Is there some other pick we haven't heard about? I've been making myself a bit of a jerk continually asking this question, but only getting "I think" opinions. Do you know the facts on this, or did you throw in your opinion of it being 3 picks, as part of this quote? (By the way, thanks for the great post.)
It is up to Detriot (yes via the Turkan deal) and Orlando whether they give us a 1st round draft pick this year or not. It can be any first round pick (their own or acquired) in the next few years. Not that you requested ifs or I thinks.., but I would say there is a 50/50 chance we have another 1st rounder this year, maybe a 20% chance we actually get the pick either team has earned (Detriot's own 14/15 pick isn't a bad pick at all). A final complication, if it is a really bad first round pick that is sent to us, we might just send it to Vancouver, as we owe them 1 pick. ------------------
