43 2-14 Suns

> Spurs

 

Not sure if this pick went directly from Suns > Spurs or if there was another team in between. We originally had this as the Suns simply using their natural pick, but the Suns media guide indicates that the Suns acquired the 1996 second round pick used to select Ben Davis (this pick) from the Spurs for Negele Knight on 1993-11-10. That would assume the Suns traded it away previously.

> Suns

Every newspaper account of this trade says Suns traded Negele Knight to Suns for a future second round pick (year not specified) on 1993-11-08

Suns media guide says Suns traded Negele Knight to Spurs for 1996 second round pick on 1993-11-10

Spurs media guide says the pick involved was a 1994 second rounder and the date of the trade was 1993-11-08.

second round pick #49 Amal McCaskill "Orlando from New York through Minnesota and Vancouver" per The Ledger

> Magic — Agreed to select Rodney Dent in expansion draft in exchange for 1996 second round pick (#49-Amal McCaskill) on 1995-06-23

(date shown was the date of the expansion draft and may not be the exact date of the trade)


This has to be wrong. The Grizzlies would have received something from the Magic in exchange for agreeing to select Dent.

Patricia Bender indicates the Grizzlies received the Magic's 1996 second round pick in exchange for picking Dent.
