    Maybe after 5 years all the protections go away and we end up getting their 1st round pick no matter what it is.

    That's for one of the first round the lottery picks, as I understand it at this time

    that's not very good at all. high potential for this to just end up being a late lotto pick in a weak draft. Back to slamming my junk in a drawer.

    umm, the east sucks and the raptors dont look all that bad....


    so we could end up with nothing? or a second rounder?


    Wow, bad value for such a "great" contract.

    Its not that good really. It could be good but in a weak draft who knows if we even get it or its around 10 -12 again for us picking.

    As far as we know, no credible source has says it is anything BUT the one pick and Forbes.

    Please perish from your minds the dream of us getting four picks. It aint' happenin'.

    Also, signing Aaron Brooks would really endear us with the Chinese fans (Hint: they HATE him, not because of what he did with Yao but because of how he played this past year).

    Let's just hope and pray this is a final piece to closing a Howard deal. If not, this season is DOA.

    sounds like Portland got more for Wallace at last year's trade deadline. Really hoping the definitive details emerge soon.

    how does this work? 2 first, one is top 3 protected?so who decides which year we get what? This deal is either like hooking up with the hottest girl ever, or hooking up with the hottest girl ever and finding out her name used to be Robert.

    Yeah, they look pretty tough as of now -- Lowry, Ross, DeRozan, Bargnani, Valanciunas.

    What the hell? We give away an all-star caliber PG for a scrub and a pick? Can Morey just come out and say we're tanking?

    It's not like the other teams in the East are just sitting around doing nothing.

    Even with Lowry I put the raptors in the same tier as the Cavs, Hawks, Bucks, Wizards,76ers fighting for a seed in the playoffs.
