"Good" teams like Utah? They haven't been good in almost four years now.

And if this helps everyone as universally as it's supposed to (but it won't), how is any team supposed to be disproportionately helped?



It is not possible for a top-10 pick to always yield a star. It is mathematically impossible. Furthermore, the reason the Jazz couldn't improve in those years was AK's back-breaking contract. The new CBA increased the hurdles a team over the tax have to get through to be even allowed to add that extra salary, and the teams that have been hell-bent on taking on that salary have eaten absolute **** for it thus far.

"good" = well run in my sense. The Jazz are a well run organization and have been planning for the tank for at least a couple of years.

Yup, it's not possible for a top 10 pick or a number one pick to always yield a star, so don't try. Great.

It gives small markets shots at players they never would have had a shot at. And, it gives small markets that are good a chance to remain good with good drafts. If you are a small market, your cycle is get good, hopefully make a run at a title, clean house, tank and repeat. With a slotted draft, there is never a need for a small market team to tank.

so don't try

What?

Consider that we are talking about Cleveland, flushing picks down the toilet is kind of their thing. If they can trade a pick for a proven solid player, they need to do that rather than risk actually having to use the pick. Deng for a top 10 protected pick is a solid deal for them.

It is a great move for Cleveland if they can re-sign Deng. I also think this might help with the courting of Lebron this summer.

If LeBron has proven one thing, it is that he won't make a move without at least 2 other all-stars to get him that next championship.

But what position would lebron play if he went to Cleveland? They have two guys who should start at the four (3 if you count verajao as a 4, and deng is for sure a small forward. If you play lebron as a point guard, then what do you do with kyrie?
