As We Know Kyle Lowry Was Just Traded for a Raptors Future First Round Draft Pick.
The Pick Is Protected In a "Mirror" Like Manner Something I have Never Seen Before.. Very Interesting..
Quote: It's going to be a lottery pick, we know as much. Protected out of the lower 16 picks of the draft, in a move I cannot recall a mirrored one for in years of covering the NBA. It's also protected out of the top three next year, the top two in 2014 and 2015, and first overall in 2016. If the Raptors have a terrible time in the winnin' business over that span and luck out with those considerations, they'll also keep the pick. This is also where we remind you that Lowry has two years left on a contract that will pay him $12 million over that span (the final year the Raptors could even waive, should they decide to, and keep all but a million of the savings); a contract that might be the best value for production deal amongst NBA players that aren't on their initial rookie deals

Quote: "Rockets-Raptors pick will be protected both ways. Rockets won't get it if too high, but also will wait if Raptors season makes it too late."
Thats Crazy! Have you Ever Seen a 1st Round Pick That's Traded, PROTECTED In TOP 3, and BOTTOM 16? Lol. Guess Raptors Feel Like they can Find Diamond in the Rough This is a Very Unusual Conditions For a First Round Draft Pick Traded... Usually Teams Protect First Rounders They Trade In the Top Picks and Leave the Bottom Unprotected, but The Pick Is Protected In the LOWER 16 Picks, and The Top Is Almost Unprotected (Top-1-3 Up to 2016)
