We traded the Grizzlies 1st round pick, top 16 protected in 2011, top 14 protected in 2012, top 9 protected in 2013 to Minnesota. We also traded a FUTURE 1st round pick to Minnesota, so regardless of what happens the rest of this season we will have a 1st round pick this year. Either it will be a lottery pick(looks like it by the way we are playing) or a ick in the phigh teens.
 
"Receives Utah's 2011 first-round pick (top-16 protected in 2011, top-14 protected in 2012, top-12 protected in 2013, top-9 protected from right to swap in 2014, else 2014 second-round pick) via the Al Jefferson trade on 7/13/10."

Nope, wrong.

No. The protection you listed on the Ronnie Brewer-pick is incorrect. The Memphis pick that Utah sent to Minnesota is protected top-14 in 2011, top-12 in 2012, top-10 in 2013, top-9 in 2014 and 2015 - then defaults to a cash payment.

The Utah 1st-rnd pick that the Jazz traded to Minnesota has the following protections:
2011: top-16 protected
2012: top-14 protected
2013: top-9 protected
2014: option to swap 1st-round picks with Utah
-if T-Wolves don't receive Utah's pick before 2013 and opt not to swap picks - they automatically receive Utah's 2014 2nd-rnd pick.
 
It looks like the Jazz might just get to keep the pick this year. Memphis is within one and a half games of Denver, Portland, and us. They have been playing great ball lately.
