Great job by sonics to get pick back in their rebuild.

Is that what's happening here? I think the Pacers still have the choice.

Pacers still have their pick swap with the Sonics, I received the second half of the pick swap in a former trade so that is the pick being sent back in this trade.

Pacers have first choice but I don’t imagine them making the playoffs anytime soon. With Top 7 protection on my 1988 pick until 1990 I can push back the pick swaps assuming I fall in the Top 7.

Me thinks Sonic gave up on Wayman too soon

Haha more like cashed in too quickly. Probably shouldnt have traded for Laimbeer so early lol.

I agree.

I think the Pacers with Admiral, Gminski, Mark Jackson are quickly on the rise so probably gonna be taking that Sonics pick when the swap comes.

Meh, it seems like there are some protections from a doomsday scenario. And I think it's good to sell high(ish) on Tisdale now cause it doesn't seem like he's going to turn into the star he had the potential to, though obviously that statement could age poorly lol

[offtheheezy]

The deal between Sonics & Grizzlies basically boils down to Lee, Pacers 89 1st (likely, or whenever the pick swaps occur), Blazers 90 1st for Tisdale.

If the Sonics keep both their picks in '88, and '89 (from being inside the top 7), then it likely becomes Pacers '91 1st (assuming Pacers have a better record by Sonics by then)

This was the only way for me to improve my team this season since Tisdale was one of the best players IMO available still on their rookie contract that I could afford. But he also has been stagnant since his first TC, so I'm not expecting him to be the star as Craig mentioned, but it's a solid improvement for me on Barlow/Lee I hope (at least defensively).

I had initially wanted to keep the pick swap rights because I thought one of the Pacers/Sonics 1st next year would be valuable, but with the Birdsong trade and Sonics likely going to be in the top 7 this year, the longer the swaps get pushed back, the stronger the Pacers will get I think and Sonics will have had more time to rebuild and get out of their long contracts, in which case the upside for this pick is capped.

Lottery gods never fail to throw wrenches though, like when I thought I got Birdsong for cheap and it ended up being the #3 pick in the next draft jumping up from like #11

What happens if the pick is not conveyed?

[Oregon Ownage]

Done

Will deal with the swaps when time comes. This is the most confusing swap ever
