The majority of the recent picks were sold before the pick was made. S wouldn't the team buying the pick (ie Portland) be the team that deserves the credit for the player drafted?

Definitely, and of course many of the traded picks were traded for another pick that they ended up trading, so under no circumstances would they have had all these guys, not to mention they traded the Deng lotto pick so they could have enough $$$ to sign Nash and Q. Just pointing out that they’ve drafted some pretty damn good players the past 15 years, and I don’t think many teams with three mid-lottery picks and below could match that.

Its not that simple … The Suns traded Nash for the pick that become Marion and if the Suns kept all draft picks then Joe Johnson, Grant Hill,Boris Diaw, Raja Bell, and many other players that the Suns fans loved,would have never played in Phoenix …
