Ye I thought that was an issue as Houston was looking pretty bare in the trade check out my 3 teamer below and I didnt realise the 4 teamer posted sorry.

This trade really screws us over for this year and next but it's not like we're gonna be making huge strides by then

I had a nice 4 team including Beasley and the Timberwolves which was probably beyond the realms of all possibility but unfortunately ESPN is screwy and won't give me feedback on it.

Anyway in this trade we get both of LA's firsts and one of houstons

That would give us 4 1st round picks. I thought there was a limit of 3 allowed.

didn't know about the rule before I posted sorry but basically knock out the draft pick thats higher up for the lakers and thats the trade except now its even more unevenly weighted.

I know of no rule limiting how many picks a team can have. There is the Stepien rule, but that's about not having picks in consecutive years.

I may be going off of an old memory that is incorrect. Google search doesn't show any limit. Not sure if I can ever remember a team having 4 picks in the 1st round but it may have happened.

one can wish

Tyrus Thomas and Diaw, Corey Maggete for Blatche, Rashard lewis and their 1st round draft pick?

No way Wash trade that pick until they know where it lands in the lottery,if they get number 1 they will not trade it and its quite possible

There is no such rule, in 2009 Min had 4 1st rounders if memory serves me correct
