What happend to this year's second round pick?

Postby Wilfried on Sat Nov 07, 2009 5:16 am

Did the Sixers had one? Did we trade it?

And if we had one, why didn't we purchase Chase Buddinger, a guy I thought we would go after in the first round. Seeing him playing with the Rockets hurts me, because this guy is going to be good for a lot of years, and he would have fit in great in this team.

We wouldn't have given Carney a contract when we had this guy.

If I remember I think Stefanaski said they were possibly going to try and get a 2nd round pick. I guess they didn't feel like spending the money to buy one because a number of teams just sold second round picks.

The Sixers didn't have their own because of the 2008 draft-night trade where we moved up one spot with Miami (who took Jason Smith) and we then traded Miami Dajuan Cook, our 2009 second(since we had no second in '08) and cash.

This may interest you. The 34th pick went for $2.25 million

On draft night 2009, Cleveland offered Denver $2 million for the 34th pick. Cavs GM Danny Ferry thought it was essentially a done deal and had fingered Blair as the pick.

But with just 10 seconds left to make its selection, Denver was offered $2.25 million, a league record for the sale of a 34th pick, from the Houston Rockets. Because there was such a small amount of time left to make the pick, the Nuggets didn't have a chance to give Cleveland the opportunity to beat Houston's offer.

So the Rockets got the pick and instructed Denver to select Sergio Llull for them. Three picks later, San Antonio took Blair.

Of course, Cleveland could have gotten Blair at 30, but it took Christian Eyenga instead.
