But they traded that pick to another team (Suns, I think) and used the next year Suns's pick to pick up Beno. And the article said something like " although Team would have liked to pick up Howard, Tim knows that trade eventually allowed the oppotunity to pick up Beno who is a very good find and important to our club too..." Something like that. |
The spurs used their own pick on beno. Phoenix pick was traded to New York in the Malik trade. I'd say good trade. It helped win a championship last year. Also the spurs traded a first rounder for Speedy Claxton before that. Another trade that helped win a championship in 03'
