11 Teams hold 75% of tradable draft picks

The Pokusevski Paradigm at play.

Houston has so much young talent, they can't provide consistent minutes, shots for top prospects on their own bench.

It's effecting morale and development of their young guys.

Call it "The Cam Whitmore Conundrum"

Instead of signing Hartenstein, OKC should've traded for Towns with all those picks. Presti missed a golden opportunity there.

That would be dominant...on both ends of the court.

OKC and Houston are being too conservative for sure.

is this some kind of de-incentivizing, anti-motivational, commie pinko, socialist. egalitarian, everyone is entitled to a piece of the pie
thread???

RE: Whitmore - lol, damn that was cold how he dropped that grenade in the hands of Holiday at the end of the video

I think one of the issues that most bothers me is that some teams (looking at you OKC) literally don't have the roster spots to even house all the draft picks they own.

Meaning a number of the draftees (new and past) will not get the development, reps, PT they'd normally receive if the picks were evenly distributed among the league. There'll be dozens of 19-20 year-olds the next few seasons who will fall out of the league after a rookie contract -- simply because they needed more time to develop but couldn't get it on an already overly young roster.

A ton of young guys will become NBA vagabonds as a result.



Let's call it "The Pokusevski Paradigm".

But you’d have to think okc will trade most of those picks for ready now players? Doubt they even keep half of their picks

[EmpireFalls]

This is bad. Teams are gonna try to copy OKC model and just hoard picks when it really doesn’t work that way.

That all turned out to be nothing.
Some random guy on Twitter said he saw Cam and Jalen going at it, but no one else on the entire planet saw anything.
The trolls ran with it.
Ime just came out and said it was nothing.
