It’s a weird pet peeve of mine but no one wants to explain how the picks work assuming multiple teams are in the second apron. Three teams get the thirtieth pick?
I would guess all teams in that scenario get pushed to the end of round 1 and who picks first/last out of those teams is determined by regular draft order criteria. e.g. 3 teams in that scenario and they'll pick 28th, 29th, and 30th. 28th pick has the worst record of the 3 and 30th has the best record. I've not found anything that confirms it as I've wondered as well, but maybe there's nothing out there because it'll just be something simple like that so not exciting enough to report aside from some unofficial Reddit stuff.
The interesting thing for me is a team who's sent out picks in the future like the Suns but is also in the second apron. Normally the Nets would be looking at outsourcing their tank potentially just like we did to them to get the Jays. Now instead it seems like the Nets might get lousy picks at the end of the first round regardless of what the Suns actual record is. A loophole I could see a guy like Brad exploring to be ultra aggressive if an opportunity to retool and start another window became available. He trades 1st rounders most years anyways so if we get some new owners with deep pockets you could retool at the cost of those picks to a team who expects them to be super valuable as they bet on the Celtics record falling off. Since those picks become frozen and are for future years (not even the year you're in the 2nd apron as I understand), it's a one time trick I could see a smart group of guys like Brad and Zarren pulling off one time before the league catches on.
Of course the other wrinkle in all of this imo is the cba expires after the 2029/30 season. I expect changes as competitive teams aren't going to vote for this stuff again, and others willing to spend more than others won't either. These "frozen picks" wouldn't come into play until a new cba were in effect.
There must be a workaround grandfathered in or something? So a team doesn’t lose obtained pick value because another team has been frozen. Then picks after that should have frozen restrictions, you know what you’re getting into now, so keep in mind a team you’re trading with could have frozen picks in the future.
Unless the pick can only be frozen if you have it?
Like our pick we will send Spurs for DWHITE shouldn’t be frozen, even though that would mean we won that trade by an even larger margin. That’s not fair.
I don’t like it, not because it’s bad, it’s because I don’t understand! If I don’t understand, it’s trash!
