Sixers send second-round draft pick to Detroit

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers acquired a second-round draft pick from the Utah Jazz on Tuesday for a future second-round draft pick, then traded that pick to Detroit.

The Sixers dealt the 60th overall selection to the Pistons to complete a trade made on Dec. 18, 1997, in which they acquired Theo Ratliff and Aaron McKie for Jerry Stackhouse and Eric Montross.

Philadelphia had until June 12 to deliver a second-round pick to the Pistons or they would have surrendered their No. 45 selection.

The 76ers don't have a first round pick in this year's draft because that was traded to Denver in a three-team deal on Dec. 18, 2003, in which the 76ers acquired Kenny Thomas.
