> Clippers — Traded Cedric Maxwell to Rockets for 1987 first round pick (#13-Joe Wolf), 1989 second or third round pick (#43-Chucky Brown)

 

Trade originally shows a 1989 third round pick— possibly the pick was changed from third round to second because the third round of the draft was eliminated.

 

Clippers media guide confirms this trade and shows it as including a 1989 "second or third round pick".

Bulls traded Earl Cureton to Clippers for 1989 second or third round pick (possibly #43-Chucky Brown) on 1987-02-11

"1989 conditional third round pick" per Clipper media guide

"1989 2nd or 3rd round pick" per 87-88 NBA Register and Washington Post

NOTE: Rockets media guide shows Rockets traded Granville Waiters to Bulls for "1989 second round pick (Chucky Brown)" on 1986-10-23. It furthermore shows that the Rockets subsequently traded the pick to the Cavs for Dirk Minniefield on 1986-12-08.

 

Chicago Tribune shows Rockets traded Granville Waiters to Bulls for a fourth round pick.

 

Not sure where, or if, this fits in with what we already have for this trade.
