He has two options if he so chooses. He can trade for a pick that belongs to another team. Or the NBA has said you can pay up to $3 million to buy a pick ......... You can actually pay the league to get pick I have never heard of a thing like this..... I read it an was like huh ????? If you can pay for a pick why doesn't Dan S go out and buy a pick for the Sixers if this is what you can do... What is the catch there has to be one do you forfit a pick another year or did I just read it and not know what I was reading ?
Yeah,you can buy a pick.I think the Sixers will buy the last pick in the draft to give it to Detroit or we're gonna give #45 to Detroit and buy some player that has been drafted like we did with Korver (and Green?)
You don't pay the leauge, you pay the team that is willing to sell their pick. Lets say the hawks wanted to sell a pick, thne someone gives them cash in exchange for a pick. The 76ers have bought picks in the past including buying a second round pick from the Nets that landed Kyle Korver.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Martin:</div><div class="quote_post">Actually Nets picked him and then sold him to us I would like to know for how much...450-550k?</div> How many times has this happened......... Has it ever happened in the first round would we be able to get someone to sell us there top 10 pick or is that a little high and a better chance of getting something like 20-30 ? I know the Hornets and Atlanta are cheap and stuff but would they really just give us a pick.... Maybe Atlanta would be willing to trade us the pick for Webber I would grab Marvin Williams or Chris Paul if we could get up there and maybe grab say a Luther Head or Jason Maxiell with out 45 pick depending on what we did with that first pick...... Allen Iverson Luther Head Andre Iguodala Marvin Williams Sammy Chris Paul Allen Iverson Andre Iguodala Jason Maxiell Sammy or Allen Iverson Andre Iguodala Wayne Simien Chris Webber Sammy Allen Iverson Andre Iguodala Fransico Garcia Chris Webber Sammy any of the above would make me happy
I wouldn't mind 19 we could grab these guys at 19..... Rashard Mccants CJ Miles Hakim Warrick Wayne Simeon Ronny Turiaf and maybe even Joey Graham or Sean May if we got really lucky
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting N4S:</div><div class="quote_post">Hakin Warrick at the 3 spot would be sick as hell.</div> All he needs is a jumpshot..
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting DaAnswer3:</div><div class="quote_post">and maybe even Joey Graham or Sean May if we got really lucky</div> The team that picks Sean May is going to seriously regret its decision. Once he reaches the NBA, the team that picks him is going to make him get into shape. Without all of his excess body fat, he'll no longer be able to dominate. Actually, come to think of it, he wouldn't have been able to dominate anyway. The NBA isn't college basketball. In the pros, he won't be facing the same type of players. Everybody will be for real. Everybody will be able to compete. Everybody will dominate him.
