So I saw somewhere in the last couple days that OKC has 24 #1 and 24 #2 picks in the next 7 years. I don't know the timing or protections.
That's 6+ new bodies per year, which no team can absorb. Kind of opposite the CLE issue back in the 70s when they gave away years worth of picks.
They haven't seemed interested in acquiring talent, just selling what little quality players they have for as many picks as possible. What's the game here, wheel and deal leading up to the draft? Keep amassing picks until you have a whole draft to yourself? I guess there is nothing in the bylaws to limit this, but it sure seems like all this hoarding is not good for the league.
Wish ThunderMav was still around.
