Foster trade for 1st round pick?

The pick is lottery protected through like 2011. If we still need lottery picks at that point I will give up on basketball altogether.

Jeff Foster counts as a journeyman? How?

Not only has he never played anywhere else, he's got fan support and he supports the team in important ways. He's never relied on athleticism, so I expect him to keep doing what he's doing for another 3-4 years.

The Bobcat's pick is lottery-protected in 2009, then protected 1 through 12 in 2010, 1-10 in 2011, 1-8 in 2012 and 1-3 in 2013, and then completely unprotected in 2014.

If this is accurate, then I can certainly see why we turned it down...

Considering the Bobcats could very well make the playoffs this year, we could have been looking at the 15th pick.

I'm okay with keeping Foster if that was the best we could do. Even in the event that the Bobcats miraculously make the playoffs, the 15th pick in this sorry draft really doesn't do anything to excite me.

Why couldn't we post this in the other Foster thread?
