GM a Team Part 4 - Draft Pick Thread

UPDATED THROUGH 9/23 8:00 PM. - TRANSACTIONS THREAD PAGE 9
This thread will contain information on which teams own which picks. If you make a trade involving a draft pick, please check this page first to make sure that the teams involved really have the picks they're trading.
At the start of the game, I am using information from the Real GM future draft picks page. It is missing at least one draft pick transaction I know of - Golden State sent a pick to NJ for Marcus Williams, but I don't know what year and with what protection. (CORRECTED) If you know of any other transactions that are missing here, please post to that effect. I'll make corrections as soon as I can verify them.
In this game we will not be applying the NBA rule that prevents teams from trading first-round picks in consecutive years. Trade away.
If you are trading a pick, but protecting it, you need to specify what happens if the protection kicks in. So, for example "2009 1st round pick, top-10 protected" isn't enough information. If the pick turns out to be in the top 10, what other compensation does the receiving team receive instead?
You'll note in the lists that follow that a bunch of picks are marked "FROZEN." What this means is that they are part of conditional trades involving pick protection. For example, you'll see in the 2009 post that Charlotte owes Denver its 2009 first-round pick, and this pick is top-14 protected in 2009, top-12 in 2010, top-10 in 2011, top-8 in 2012. (We're not dealing with any picks after 2012 in this game.) If you've got Charlotte, all of those future first-rounders are frozen; you may wind up owing one of them to Denver and there's no way to know yet which one. If you want to free up these picks, you've got two choices. (1) You can make another trade with Denver that changes the arrangements. (2) You can trade a future first rounder to another team, and say in your post that you're removing the protection from the Denver deal. In the real NBA, you'd have to get Denver's consent for this - maybe they're hoping to get your pick in 2010 rather than 2009. In this game, that won't be necessary - we'll assume that any trade that gets your pick to another team faster is to their advantage, so they won't have to approve it.
