NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[michaeltex]

We get our 23 back from NY giving us our full arsenal of picks.

So previous years don't matter?

DAL 2021 FRP went to NYKs, so if we get the 2023 back and trade the 2022 FRP, that gives 2 years without a FRP. But not if history doesn't count.

Just trying to understand.

You have misstated the rule a bit.

In that rule, the past is irrelevant, as is the cumulative result of what is being done. It's only about what's ahead, either definitely or possibly.

So you can end up trading away every pick if you wish. You just can't be in a position where, looking forward, you will (or might) at any time have 2 future drafts in a row without a FRP (and it doesn't have to be yours).

Thanks for clearing that up. Our posts passed on the interweb.
