What are they going to do? Sell picks off for picks 7 years down the road?

How about just keep trading some they don't need for future picks, possibly picking up more picks in the process.

I would also expect some picks, and younger players will go towards trading for great value contracts to offset the top players.

What a much better way OKC did to acquire picks than The Process was, clearing cap space to take on other teams no longer wanted contracts for the price of some draft assets. They didn't just get draft assets for taking on Horford from Philly or CP3 from Houston, they got more picks to send CP3 to Phoenix and Horford back to Boston!


Theyre living out my team building dream.

Best team in the WC. Tons of assets. They could keep this team running for a decade or more because they chose one direction aggressively, instead of straddling the fence.

Looks like it is 1-6 protected. Might be in Philly's best interest to try tank this thing out and lock in a potential top 5 pick. Risky though.

OKC is feeding off the rest of the leagues ineptitude. As long as Presti is around, they will have an advantage.

And he's a much more natural offensive player (with some ground to make up on some more fundamental big man elements and BBIQ)

I seen JJ Reddick say that he didnt see any evidence of the league changing rules that helped the offense. Now you have the commish admitting to it.

Need Sacramento to end this coaching change hot streak already. Not good for the master plan.
