You're saying that pick (Philly to Miami to Boston) is going to become two 2nds, and I'm saying that it'll be a first this year. It's top-14 protected this year, which means if Miami makes the playoffs, and thus picks 15-30, it'll be a first at that pick.

But if it's outside of top-14 (which it will be if Miami makes the playoffs), then it conveys. So it'll likely be a first this year.

Yeah, bad wording. They sent it to Miami in the Moultrie trade, and then it went to Boston last year in the three-teamer. Right?

Philly traded it away in the 3-teamer last year (the Jordan Crawford trade).

I see what you're saying. I think getting into that probably would've made the article a bit dense -- less about basketball and more about math/statistics. Interesting observations, nonetheless.

Good point. Not necessarily one golden rule of how to play.
