2017 Annual JazzFanz Current Players NBA Draft

What? That's the dumbest **** I've ever heard.

How is it dumb? It limits the trades that are being done, lets the game move quicker, puts more emphasis on making better deals.

How exactly did me trading Porter for a pick two picks away make the game slow down?

WC on drafts:

 

[Elizah Huge]

Not sure why? When he made the trade for Porter, it was to get Klay Thompson. He clearly took Porter as an upgrade in value over available picks, but wanted to flip him for a (nearly) on the clock pick to do something else. As long as he's not holding things up to do it. . . what's the harm. Kid can hustle. It's entertaining to watch him work his strategy.

This.

Did I say it did?

 

[Coach Ellis]

Looking to move around a bit. Lillard, Hood and upcoming picks (#60 and #69) could be available for the right deal coming back my way. PM me if interested. Thanks.

I wasn't speaking about WC's trade specifically. I think that not being able to trade a player you traded for works better than putting a specific number as a limit. Forces you to commit to your trades and think upon them. This endless trading, in my opinion, even if it doesn't slow the game, just muddles the game.

Fair enough. I can see why some would feel that way.

Dragic is a steal at #55

Dragic is a steal at #55

While I don't disagree with you, he went #82 last year.

Id be willing to trade a couple of my picks for Otto Porter or another quality SF or PF.
