Wizards/NBA Offseason

How does the "protected" first round picks work? Is that basically non lottery picks? Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington are inconsistent role players at best, not exactly who you build your team around. If I were the Magic, I woulda pushed for Iguodala at least. Jeezz

My guess is they didn't want that contract that went with Iguodala. Nobody does...lol


Still don't get why they didn't accept the Nets deal that would have given them 3 1st rounders and a young center who's on the verge of being a annual all-star. Guess they were just trying to dump contracts???

Yeah I think for this trade I heard if the picks are in the top 15 the original team keeps them. So the Magic won't get any first round picks between 1-15, which just adds to the confusion over why they made this trade

Wow. That's a pretty weak deal for the Magic then. Especially considering the Lakers didn't give up Gasol.
