    The pick is protected, if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, we would eventually lose it, and that would be rough.
    It's protected through 2014, so unless we have a lottery pick in 2015, it's not as big a deal as it seems. Or if we make the playoffs in any of the 2011-2014 years, then we lose a #15 through #30 pick.

      If BC does not take Beasley, Miami and Cleveland could S&T Lebron for Beasley and Chalmers.
      It's unlikely Cleveland will agree to a S&T for a player they're trying to pressure into staying. Possible, but unlikely.

        Doing a S & T for Bosh is one thing, but doing a S & T for Lebron would get you blacklisted in the state of Ohio. Even if he's leaving anyway, you'd be giving the knife a twist in their collective backs.

          Yup, that's exactly what I was thinking. S&T for Bosh who may or may not be overpaid on a max contract is fine, but there's no way any team with one of the top 3 players in the league should contemplate the possibility of a S&T. Right now, Cleveland has only 2 things going for them: 1) 6-year deal and 2) home state advantage (?).

          Of course, if Miami really, really wanted to get rid of Beasley, I'm sure there's a point at which $3 mil cash + a slew of first round picks would convince someone to clear the remaining space so they have more bargaining power with LBJ, but hopefully that's somewhere between 3 first rounders and first rounders for the next two decades (every other year, of course).

          If we can do the S&T for just the two first-rounders (and of course, the TPE credit), that's fine with me.

            For Cleveland, a new coach and a 60 win roster? Still flimsy though.
