Can someone explain why we only get a 7th for 2005?

We lost starters - Pierce and Smoot, and gained 1 starter - Rabach.

I wonder if it has to do with the signing of Prielou or Stoutmire?

Anyone got any ideas?

Boy, we are really racking up the crappy picks. By my count, that is five picks in rounds 6 and 7.

the primary factor is FA signings and departures. We lost two, we got two.

the difference in contract value yeild a 7th, i've been saying that's all we'd get since about a month before it was announced (everyone was thinking 3rds and 4ths).

btw, patten and rabach were both starters. vet min and cut players don't count.
