E Curry trade: Bulls get 2006 unprotected 1st rounder from Knicks. ( I heard it from Chad Ford)

Questions:

JJ trade: Suns get Hawks 2 protected first rounders, top 10 protected?

Walker trade: Celtics get Heat 2 first rounders, are they protected?

Lakers has only one first rounder for the next 3 years, the other 2 are protected?

Please tell me if you know.

Not protecting those first round picks is a surefire way for the fanbase to end up on your doorstep waving torches and pitchforks, calling for your blood. Not a smart move to ever trade a draft pick without at least protecting it top 3. Ha. Ask Jerry West.

Is anyone in the draft likely to turn out better than Eddy Curry is hoping to?

I dont think it was that trade was made under Jerry West' tenure as a GM.

There are players in the draft that are hoping to turn out better than Curry is hoping to. And players that are going to turn out better than Curry is going to.

But no, I don't think there is anyone that is going to turn out better than Curry is hoping to.

Aldridge will be better than Curry.

I would expect a lot of players from this coming draft to turn out to be better NBA basketball players than Eddie Curry.

Just to clear a few questions on the selection situation of the Boston Celtics, I, with the help of many great sources, have compiled the conditions of the conveyed Boston Celtics draft picks that are both owned by the Celtics or by other teams with relation to the Celtics.

Los Angeles Lakers First-Round Selection (Gary Payton - Chucky Atkins trade):

2006: Top ten protected.
2007: Top five protected.
2008: Top five protected.
2009: Top five protected.
2010: Top five protected.
2011: No protection.

Cleveland Cavaliers First-Round Selction (Jiri Welsch trade):

2007: Top ten protected.
2008: No protection.

Miami Heat Second-Round Selection (Antoine Walker trade):

The Boston Celtics recieve a future second-round selection of either the Miami Heat or the Memphis Grizzlies.

Golden State Warriors Second-Round Selection (Walter McCarty trade; via Phoenix):

Boston recieves a '06 second-round selection (acquired by Phoenix through the Zarko Cabarkapa trade). The second-round selection is top thirty-five protected this season.

Phoenix Suns First-Round Selection (from the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, or Cleveland Cavaliers via Boston and Atlanta; Joe Johnson - Boris Diaw trade).

Phoenix will recieve a '06 or '07 (the first-round selection must be conveyed by the 2007 NBA draft) Boston Celtics-owned first-round selection. The first-round pick must be the lesser (or worst) of the selections that the Boston Celtics own in the year that it is conveyed. The selection is lottery protected in both years. Phoenix recieves the Los Angeles Lakers' '06 first round draft pick if the Lakers finish 14-30 and Boston finishes lower (or worse) for example.

that would have been awesome if that was a 2007 unprotected and they got the #1 pick, Greg Oden. hilariously ironic.

It wasn't. But he can tell you how much it hurts.

Thanks.
Celtics get 2008 unprotected first rounder from Cavs - Jiri Welsch trade. That is crazy.

If Big Z and Hughes are injured, ....
