That’s kinda insane

GMs playing 4d chess (or they have no idea what they’re doing)

Next year, just do auction draft for the second round 😤

Is there a reason the NBA can’t do what the NFL does with trades and have these dudes actually get drafted by the team they’re going to?

I am all for Jaden Bradley becoming a star…I know it won’t happen, but what a story it would be!

We’re probably gonna have third round picks in the future 😅

wtf

It’s collusion in a sense since they’ve altered how they’re doing the lottery. 

Feel bad for the intern having to track all these trades.

classic raptors

So all of the businessers in their unlimited hell

Where they buy and they sell and they sell all their trash to each other

Maybe Schroder was right about that one analogy lol

2nd rounders have become more interesting?

With the money in college now is it keeping more players from going into the draft if they are not lotto or first round pick?

They are getting included in trades more it seems, I don’t remember seeing 5 2nd rounds picks tagged onto a trade until very recently. They are kinda the grease that can push a trade through while not being super valuable because they are lottery tickets. They have become the rookie or A ball 18 yo pitcher thrown into MLB deals.

Omg a person from my island got drafted!! My new favorite player haha

2nd round was just GMs warming up for the trade season

Tim Connely on why last year

The NBA draft is so fucking ass

• 28 (58) Jaron Pierre Jr. G•SMU from DET via NYK, BKN, PHX, ORL and LAC

FFS. That dude making sense of how he got drafted where he did is like trying to find your family tree that came here back from Hungary in the 1700’s.

Wow

The 58th pick did quite a bit of traveling over the years. Would’ve been hilarious if Detroit traded him to the Clippers

makes sense when you think about it. With the new CBA, its become super difficult to move contracts and players, which is why draft picks are the universal currency that any team is willing to accept (whether they are contending or rebuilding). once everyone starts overtrading their first round picks, second round picks are all you have

bruhhhhhhhh

Second round should be abolished, I know more current undrafted players than second rounders.

That’s actually nuts

Duke can trade someone to MIN? I’m confused

Hope Thomas can do a good job backing up Harden.

I thought it was going to say 29 of 30 picks in the second round are named Jaden, which wouldn’t surprise me.

Was Lajae Jones traded? He was drafted to the Warriors not the Lakers

Made it pointless to watch since you have no idea who your team ended up with. Took a lot of excitement out of watching. Just read about it the next day when hopefully everything settles. Especially when ESPN was slow and was even just wrong in what they were reporting on some trades.

2nd round picks are interesting because the first few are pretty valuable for getting fringe 1st round talent with a favorable contract structure. Then the later the draft goes on they basically turn into scratch off lottery tickets that are easy to throw in trades.

How come they don’t want me man!?

Tracking so many live swaps drains me, so I will just check back tomorrow.
