sorry,i know this been discussed befor but im confused...... do we have chicagos draft pick next year because they have 2 pick according to ww.nbadraft.net....i know it mock draft picks...but there is chance for them to get 1-5. does utah get pick according to tht trade....cause i dont know wat they mean by conditional draft pick.......please clear thanks
Utah gets a condtional first pick from us and i think its is lotto protected. We get the bulls 1st round pick if under 20, which means we will not get it. Instead for the next 2 years, we get to exchange 2nd round picks if their pick is better. So they probley Utah will our pick this year if we make playoffs.
i take that from espn rockets page http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/teams/transactions?team=hou September 30, 2003 Acquired forward-center John Amaechi and a future second-round draft pick from the Utah Jazz for forward Glen Rice a first round draft top 20 protected - or two second round pick and another second round draft from utah that what i think
The Chicago protected first rounder that they owe us from the Drew obligation is no longer ours... it went to Utah in the Rice/Ameachi trade. if the Bulls are in the lotto thisyear...then Utah gets two second rounders instead in 05 and 06
Utah gets our 1st rounder and the Chicago obligation - but hey - they are giving us Sac's 2nd rounder! {Still trying to get over that one...}
I think we gave away our first rounder this year(as long as we stay out of the lottery)...we do still have our second rounder + Sacs from the Utah trade.
I dont fully understand the loophole about that one....but it is legal..GATER explained it a while back. I do know two things... we dont have a first this year(unles we miss the playoffs since it is protected) and we no longer own the Chicago pick(Drew obligation)
You can't go without a first round pick in two consectutive future drafts. Once we gave Memphis the 1st round pick for Francis, the missing future 1sts was reset back to zero. With the Rice/Amaechi trade, it went back up to one and after the 2004 Lottery, it will reset back to zero. IOW, we can send/use a future 1st in the Bobcats' expansion draft and/or ith the trade exception.
