So, we all know that the Clippers don't have any draft picks for, essentially, forever. They've given them away in a variety of trades, and it's time to get all caught up. The good news is that the complex protections placed on the picks actually work a little bit in the Clippers' favor, saving them from themselves. They're essentially guaranteed to retain at least some of the picks, although the protections and rollovers prevent them from trading more of them.
I'd recommend that Clippers fans enjoy having players like Branden Dawson, Brice Johnson, David Michineau, and Diamond Stone around, because unless the Clippers trade for draft picks or buy into some second rounds, this past draft might be the most exciting one they'll have for a while.
