As of this moment you are only allowed to protect your own pick. If you have acquired another team's pick and are planning on using it in a transaction, you may NOT protect it. If you do decide to protect your pick, the next year's pick is not able to be traded. Seems simple but please post questions.

To cut down on all the bookkeeping why not just say "no protecting picks, period"? |

I like this rule but considering how controversial tanking has been around the league, it is interesting to me. I'm not sure if it helps or hurts tankers. Does it help them by pushing win-now teams to part with potential top picks or does it hurt them because they won't get those picks at all now because win-now teams won't part with them if they can't be protected. . . I'm probably over thinking this.

Just to clarify, if you receive a pick from another team that is protected by them (i.e. I received Spurs Top 5 protected 96, becomes unprotected 97), I can trade that pick so long as the recipient of my trade is aware of that protection (but I cannot change the protection). Also if it hits the protection, the pick would revert back to the original owner (person who placed the protection), not the last person to trade it.

To cut down on all the bookkeeping why not just say "no protecting picks, period"? We've got 4 mods to help with bookkeeping, we're doing ok so far with it, but we will watch and see. Ultimately, it's up to the team that protected their pick to use the protection. |

I want to trade it. I trade it to Knicks. I cannot change the protection on it. Let's say draft comes, and the pick hits the top 5 protection. The pick reverts to the Spurs not the Bucks. Knicks receive unprotected 97 from Spurs. That's all im saying. |

I'm failing to see a question. If the question is who does the pick go back to if ti's traded? The team that protected it which is now only the original team. So.. Lakers top 5 protect 96 pick... Pick is traded 1 Million times Pick is #1 overall Pick goes back to Lakers Team who currently HAD pick gets the next one The transactions in the middle don't matter anymore It's just who has the pick at the time of the draft and who's pick it was originally |

All the other stuff I know. |

So you are trolling. Thanks. No I wasnt. It was a serious question. I wasn't 100% sure in my head so I asked. Didn't you say post questions here? I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the reason for another midseason trade rule tweak (since my trade sparked this rule and I have a few protected picks that I wanted to make sure I could use before possibly using them as trade pieces). |
