Yet the fact he will be one soon has been no secret. In past days, any mention by the league (or the teams) would have all waited until the trade was actually finalized and approved. But this year Silver "announced" trades of picks in almost real time during the draft, and with some of them using verbiage saying these draft picks have been swapped in a deal to be finalized later. But it was only the picks - where they were headed - that got announced. I don't know why.
Thank you, that explains what I was wondering about! So theoretically a failed physical by Holmes or freak injury to O‘Max could still stop the trade because it can‘t be official yet. In reality it‘s a good thing because it gives us lots of time to expand the deal.
