Bill Simmons Draft Diary 2012
9:17 — Nice night for the Rockets: Jeremy Lamb, Royce White and Terrence Jones (who fell about five spots too far to no. 18).5 Meanwhile, we have our first trade: Dallas traded Zeller to Cleveland for picks 24, 32 and 33.
That means the Cavs just parlayed four top-33 picks (including the no. 4 overall) into a sixth man and a backup center, winning this year’s Baxter Burgundy Award for the team that pooped in the fridge and ate a whole wheel of cheese, only you can’t be mad at them because it was kind of amazing.
