Bosh to Heat in S&T After All

[ploto]

The Heat also are finishing off a sign-and-trade agreement with the Toronto Raptors that will allow recently acquired power forward Chris Bosh to receive a six-year free-agent contract instead of the maximum five-year contract an outside free agent can receive. The Raptors, in turn, will receive a package of draft picks from the Heat and a trade exception of roughly $15 million.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr Heat expert, but isn't the Raptors pick that ya'll own lottery protected? You'll be waiting an extra year for that pick because there's no way that the Raptors make the playoffs.

I'm sure the swap for the Minny pick has some sort of protection as well, no?
