    In the battier-thabeet trade, we were supposed to get a 1st round draft pick and I believe it is top 14 protected for this draft coming up, am I accurate and how come no one is saying anything about it, i know it will not be a high pick but it something:rolleyes:

    No, it was the pick that turned into Motiejunas. Also, that belongs in the GARM section.

    I thought the Motiejunas pick came from the Phx trade for Brooks where we got Orlando's pick? Then we traded up to get D-Mo in a draft day trade with Minnesota? The only pick we got from Memphis for Battier was a future 2nd round pick

    The Memphis pick was traded along with the 23rd pick, Brad Miller, and the 38th pick(Parsons) for the 20th pick(Motiejunas) and Jonny Flynn.

    We later paid cash to get Parsons back from Minnesota.

    I forgot to mention that we got a Minnesota 2nd round pick in there also.

    Nope. The trade was Battier for Thabeet and a 1st.
