This draft, we traded a 2007 first round pick of Cleveland's for Rajon Rondo.
We had traded Jiri Welsch to get that Cleveland pick which we swapped to Phoenix for Rajon Rondo.
And it was Antoine Walker who was traded for, amongst others, Jiri Welsch who was then traded to Cleveland for the 2007 pick that we traded to Phoenix in order to get Rajon Rondo.
HOWEVER, the only reason Phoenix HAD that pick was because we traded them Joe Johnson, who they later traded to Atlanta for, amongst others, the pick that we got for Jiri Welsch who we had once acquired in a trade for Antoine Walker.
THAT BEING SAID, the only reason Atlanta had the pick that we got for Jiri Welsch, who we had once acquired for Antoine Walker was because we traded it, along with Gary Payton, for Antoine Walker who Atlanta had gotten from Dallas who acquired Antoine Walker from us in a deal that included, amongst others, Jiri Welsch who we then dealt to Cleveland to get the pick that we later dealt to get Rajon Rondo.
AND IN THE END, we had the pick because when Gary Payton was traded to us and didn't report, the deal was changed and the Lakers gave us the first round pick which we then traded along with Gary Payton for Antoine Walker who Atlanta had gotten from Dallas who got Antoine Walker from us in a deal that included, amongst others, Jiri Welsch who we then dealt to Cleveland to get the pick that we later dealt to get Rajon Rondo.
All of this being said, if Cleveland was to ever somehow reacquire that pick , I think the universe could collapse.
