Waste of a night underwhelming
Honestly, that was my favorite pick of the night.
Basketball gods hate me. I discovered that when I realized I was rooting for LeBron in the finals just so GSW would lose... and didn't care if the league rigged it. But they still lost.

So apparently they traded Daniel Diez for cash. When a team does this what is this cash used for?

We got some cash...more than others in similar or better position:
The team brought in over 100 players this year to look at. Lossa airline flights, meals, hotel rooms, whatever else involved, they sure could use some spare change.So apparently they traded Daniel Diez for cash. When a team does this what is this cash used for?

Probably to pay overtime and consulting fees for for all the personnel they brought in to look at 100 guys, only to decide there was no one they wanted with that late pick. They should have a few bucks left to order lunches for their summer league game days.Thanks, I wasn't sure if money coming from a trade had to be put into anything specific or if it's just for the team to spend however they want.

It goes to the owner. GM's do it so owner's feel better about buying stuff for the team and spending money.
