    It looks like we're keeping these new 2nd rounders, I'm glad.

    Yes, smart move. They have potential written all over them. With some right training (and you know they'll get the discipline needed with Dunleavy coaching), they can have excellent roles on this team. We needed a youth movement to invade this team and it appears as if we're gonna have it. Building for the future while doing the best for the present. If the Clippers find some good bench scorers, and we dont get ravaged by injuries, this team can definitely be a stronghold in the west...despite what the critics think.

    These second rounders don't count against the cap!

    I thought I read that somewhere but I might be wrong. I looked at the CBA rules and I think I was wrong.

    Quote:
    43. Do draft picks count against the team's salary cap? If so, how much?

    Unsigned first round picks are included in team salary immediately upon their selection in the draft. They count as 100% of the scale salary for that pick, unless there is a verbal agreement for a higher salary. An incident occurred prior to the 1997-98 season when Vancouver's first round pick, Antonio Daniels, revealed in an interview that he and the team had verbally agreed to a contract starting at the maximum salary (120% of the scale amount). Since verbal agreements apply to the salary cap, the league then changed the team's cap figure from the scale amount to 120% of scale.

    Once a first round pick signs a contract, his actual salary is included in the team salary, of course.

    Unsigned second round picks are not included in team salary. This is a loophole that Houston once tried to use by trading a first round pick for a second round pick in order to clear cap room.

    As described in question number 71, the trade value of an unsigned first or second round draft pick is always $0.
