| 33 | 2-4 | Clippers | > Pistons The Clippers traded 1998 second round pick (?-?) to 76ers for rights to James Collins on 1997-06-25. Maybe the progression here is wrong and should include the 76ers, and that may be why we don't have any information on a Clippers > Pistons transaction as indicated? The above theory is supported by Patricia Bender as indicated below. |
> Sonics Unknown |
Jelani McCoy | |
| Alternate progression per Patricia Bender | > 76ers — Traded rights
to James Collins to Clippers for 1998 second round pick (#33-Jelani McCoy)
on 1997-06-25 "James Cotton trade" per Patricia Bender |
> Pistons Jerry Stackhouse |
> Sonics Sonics traded Eric Snow to 76ers (not Pistons as shown) for 1998 (or 1999 per PB & Sonics media guide) conditional second round pick (1998 #33-Jelani McCoy) on 1998-01-18, so this progression cannot be entirely correct. |
