Should the nba go to 3 round draft?

Interesting idea. If every team had a g- league affiliated with them it could work. I like the idea of having a modified farm system feeding into the league. I think it would allow more equality to the smaller markets to bring in additional talent instead of losing out to the larger market teams.
I don’t see it ever happening but I’d be happy if it did

If there was a 3rd round , At least we’d never ever have worry about DL giving them away for nothing ..

Yes, they definitely should with the larger rosters we have now. Plus every player drafted should get some sort of compensation even if they don't make the roster based on their draft position.

As far as the compensatory round that's been mentioned, the early 2nd round sounds too high. Maybe it should start after the lottery teams, so around pick 45.

I'm not super familiar with compensatory picks, however, so I'm not sure if that works. Can you trade a compensatory pick? What are the requirements for getting one? e.g. how good of a free agent do they need to be, and does the team have to make them an offer?

For me personally, the 2nd round could be the place where they even the playing field for small market teams.

They could....

- give a compensatory pick if you sign a player who was bought out for more than $5 million (ex. - Nets would have given their 2nd to Detroit since they added Blake Griffin)

- give a compensatory pick if you sign a player away who started a certain amount of games for his prior team

- maybe luxury tax teams just don't get a 2nd rounder that next draft.

I think the player's association would oppose this because it would ultimately hurt the players and prevent player movement.

Compensatory pick is an interesting idea. There would be some things that would need to be ironed out.

The NBA needs a true farm system.

Make every NBA team spend like 3 to 5 million on their farm team. That way top players down there can make decent money. You can develop players. Would keep some players from going to Europe and stay here where the NBA team can be in charge of their development.

All this would lead to is more foreign players having their rights owned, making it harder for them to get into the nba

The undrafted guys that like to control where they go would also be hurt because they generally try and find opportunities where they will find playing time or have an okay shot at making a roster.

when teams take picks 50-60 seriously maybe we could have this convo but I see no big reason to add a round.

How much more serious could a team get about picks 50-60 than buying three of them? They probably wanted to buy a fourth to get Dort, but the other 7 teams were taking those picks too seriously to acquire it.

Covid probably isn't the right time. But I'd expand to 34 or maybe 36 teams and greatly expand the g league system. Grow the game, second team in Canada again and so on. Also look at doing something to stop super teams forming, maybe limiting teams to number of players on max contracts.

You're right, but then again, more players would be drafted and have a chance to find spots in the league.

It would be giving a little to get much more.

This makes 0 sense. The draft doesn't make opportunities, it diminishes them.

Unless you're suggesting every pick gets a guaranteed contract
