Taklin' Cavs draft picks
Reader Tom Vanaday (Akron) and others wondered how the Cavs' draft picks stand up for the near future. I forwarded the e-mail to GM Jim Paxson, who responded:
"I'll try to help...
"2005: No first-round pick. (Second-round pick is conditional.)
"2006: We have our first-round pick. If we make the 2005 playoffs, we won't have our 2006 second-round pick. If we miss the playoffs, we have the first- and second-round picks.
"2007: Our first-rounder is protected if it's in the top 10 through the year 2011. We have no second-rounder.
"2008: If our first pick in 2007 went to Boston (for Jiri Welsch), then we have no second-round pick.''
