2011-12 NBA Season Thread - SPOILERS

But it's a protected pick and from what I've heard it's heavily protected so I dunno what that means
2012 first round draft pick from Sacramento
Sacramento's own 2012 first round draft pick to Cleveland (top-14 protected in the 2012 Draft, top-13 protected in 2013, top-12 protected in 2014, top-10 protected in 2015, top-10 protected in 2016 and top-10 protected in the 2017 Draft) If Cleveland has not received a first round pick from Sacramento by 2017, then Sacramento shall convey their own 2017 2nd round draft pick to Cleveland provided it is within the top-55 picks. If it is not, then Sacramento's obligation to Cleveland shall be extinguished. (Cleveland-Sacramento, 6/30/2011)

So does that mean if the Kings don't get a top 14 pick, Cavs won't get the pick? If so they is no chance Cavs are getting that pick

Pretty much means, if the pick isn't top 14 this season the it'll go to next year, if that pick isn't top 13 it'll go to next year and if the next years pick isn't top 12 it'll go to next year and so on. In short if you don't get a top 14 pick by 2017 you get left with a second round pick.

No need to worry though, should be a top 5 pick this season.
