Is it the case that this is the pick we're getting?  All nbadraft.net says is that Philly gets a 2009 pick from the Jazz that is protected.  Has anyone heard the parameters of the protection on this pick?

top 22 protected through 2010 or something like that.

Unprotected thereafter?

Here are the details:

In 2009, the New York pick to Utah is top-22 protected. The Utah pick to Philadelphia is also top-22 protected. If both picks end up outside the protection, Philadelphia gets the better one.

In 2010, the New York pick to Utah is unprotected. The Utah pick to Philadelphia is top-15 protected. Assuming both picks are still outstanding and Utah's pick falls outside its protection, Philadelphia gets the worse one.

(The Utah pick to Philadelphia is also protected for 2011-2013...if it still hasn't been transferred by that point, the Sixers get Utah's 2014 second rounder and cash instead.)

And yes, this was all agreed to in the Korver trade.

So as you can see, the pick really isn't all that good unless we get it this year, which it should be given how good Utah is. Nevertheless, it could still be a good tradable asset.

Wow that's confusing.  I still don't really understand how the Knicks are involved.  What's the most likely scenario?

The pick is top-15 protected.  Utah will make the playoffs next year so the Wolves will get it.

Sixers prospect Rodney Carney and aged center Calvin Booth seem superfluous in a deal that gives the Wolves a first-round pick — top 15 protected in 2009, according to a Wolves source — that Utah sent to Philly last season in the Kyle Korver trade.

HUGE, thanks Dummy.. I love the deal... I think this shows Taylor is still committed to winning... of course let's hope the team starts winning a few games... this is a good addition in the event that we somehow lose our own pick to the Clippers if it finishes outside of the top 10.

The Pick that has been with a a ton of teams- the Knicks sent the pick to the Suns when they acquired Steph, and put a top 22 protection on it, the Suns did a deal with Utah, and sent the pick to Utah, Utah did a deal with the Sixers and sent it to Philly, now Philly throws it in to Minnesota for them to sign Brand.
