You spend real assets to jump up into a different tier. Who is Detroit taking at 3 anyways?? No one knows. There like 5 guys they might take even if they were #2. So a couple of them are guaranteed to be there at #5, and you’ll get them on a cheaper contract.


Just because we don't know who they want doesn't mean there isn't a player they value enough to move up.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
