Does anyone know if that pick is DUE next year or if they have a few more years to give it up. The reason I ask is people keep talking about how our pick from detroit next year could be in the lottery in an amazing draft. While I agree about the draft (I think this will be one of the best drafts in the history of the NBA (Curry, That 7-1 guy in highschool they are calling the second Oscar Robertson, Terrance MOrris, Woods, Gadzuric, Wallace, Griffin, Williams, Rice, and many many more) I thought that the pick still had an option for a few years....if it does there is NO WAY they give up this pick to us next year. NO way! If it is due next year....we could be sitting pretty because I think Hill is going to leave and they will suck and to get a lottery pick next year will be money!!!! ------------------
stevie, I am wondering the same thing. I also have one question to add. Does the pick have to be Detroit's own or can they acquire it from another team? ------------------ Check out the Best Source for Draft Info Draftsource.net
Detroit has two drafts left to give it to us and it has to be their own first rounder. I believe Detroit will regret not giving us the pick this year. They basically decided that they wanted Mateen Cleaves more than they wanted a top 5 or 10 pick in the next two years. It would be great if they suck for the next two years and then we get a top lottery pick so we can take a center or small forward. ------------------
