Again, if they can buy a similar pick for 2 million, why buy it for essentially 30 million?
When was the last time a pick sold for cash? You used to always have some 2nds sell and at least every other year a 1st. The new CBA cut that out by changing the limits on cash sent and received from per transaction to per year. I'm almost positive a 1st hasn't sold under the new CBA and I don't even recall a 2nd being sold. Even if 1 team was willing to blow their annual amount on trading cash for a pick, the other team has to be willing to do the same as well. That one transaction has potential impact on other transactions during the year. It's no longer as simple as buying and selling a pick, it needs to fit within your strategic planning for the year.
Also, the Nets don't get to add that $60 million under the cap towards profit, they have to hit the salary floor or the league will make them. So why spend part of your operating budget to buy a pick when you have unused salary cap space you're going to be forced to use anyway? $2 million vs. $10 million isn't a no brainer when the $10 million is "free" and the $2 million costs you $2 million.

why spend part of the cap on a player that you dont want?
why not buy a pick, then sign a guy you might actually want with that space?
why not keep that space open and take on someone else's junk later, for a better price (the Morey special)?
why not just eat the cap space (assuming the new CBA doesn't change the "penalty" for coming in under the floor) and give your own players more $$?
