Information On Denver's Draft Picks

[Way Of The Ray <wayray@ix.netcom.com>]

- Denver has two choices next year: their own and Cleveland's.
Orlando has the option to take the better of the two picks.

- It's the C's call as what year they can select Denver's pick:
either 2000, 2001 or 2002.

- Restrictions on the choice: Denver's first round pick in 2000 is
lottery protected for the first 5; Denver's 2001 pick is lottery
protected for
the first 3; the 2002 pick is lottery protected at 1.

Definitely a trade that is growing on me as I project the Nuggets to
finish 8th
next season and between 5 and 11 in 2001.
