Message: [QUOTE="Kembacity, post: 2760007, member: 3815"] Can someone help me understand a move last night that I found puzzling? In the lottery, Charlotte picked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at 11 and traded him to the Clippers for their pick at 12, Miles Bridges and 2 2nd round picks. Normally, when you see teams a few spots apart trade picks and toss in a player/pick/cash consideration, there are teams picking in between them, but in this case they were picking consecutively... Theoretically the Clippers checked with Charlotte and knew they weren't interested in SGA, otherwise wouldn't Charlotte just take him and say 'sorry Clippers'? So if Charlotte didn't want SGA... why didn't the Clippers just let the Hornets take Bridges and then draft SGA on their own and not give up 2 2nd rounders? It made no sense to me, you aren't worried that SGA is going to get poached one pick before you... because you're trading with the team before you. Somebody help me out here [/QUOTE]
