Of course it is. Very few teams have the ability to nail a pick successfully late in the draft. The rest are playing with the claw machine in the lobby at Dennys.

It isn't. Teams arent hoping for those kind of hits (though I'm sure they would like them). The more realistic expectation is they can get cheap rotation players under long-term contracts w/ RFA rights at the end. Cheap labor w/ rights control is the main reason, not the potential of finding a star.

Except how cheap is the labor? How many late firsts are contributing in the first few years of their contract if at all? Look what we paid for our bench vets this year. Late firsts are completely overvalued.

For reals we are already in the Jameer Nelson Dante Cunningham chair deck shuffling. I'm not real hopeful. Wonder who we sign when we buy out JJ.
 
Feels like the market has dried up. Soooo many teams trying to get rid of bad contracts without wanting to give a first back and no one wants to take on more money. Lmao. That's the NBA for ya. I swear, seemed a week ago, there were going to be tons of deals done, and the jazz were 100% going to deal someone, now not so sure.

It is completely an entirely based on the situation though. And in the current climate, many teams find themselves in a situation where a first-round pick holds much more value than trading it for a "contributor" as it won't really put them over the top in any meaningful way. Yet a first-round pick CAN hit and CAN be developed under team control which is probably the smarter route to take if you're not close to challenging the Warriors.

This is why I think Hood is worth a first-rounder (because of his restricted status) as opposed to a guy like Tyreke who is playing much better, because he is completely unrestricted and doesn't even have bird rights I think.
