So memphis has the Utah pick next year but now it can't be top 5 because the Jazz have had two top 5 picks. Top 5 is pretty random too. I saw Sam Vecenie name the last 10 #5 picks....a lot of spares.
I am sure there are rules and laws, but I would have given the NBA major props if they made these changes for this year. That would have been awesome. Next year and maybe the year after that, lacks a true franchise player at the moment. This is the year where they should have done something.
