and the ability to look at it again in a couple of years a few years whatever so i'm i think it's good do you have you do you have any reason to believe it's not going to pass oh i think i think it'll pass yeah and even like the memphis situation so there are like 14 other teams that are okay with that because it increases their odds of being in the top five it's

So I think that the vote is actually a little unfair for them that way.

I'm actually curious if the Knicks will vote against it just because they vote against everything.

thing that I wonder in my head is that there are going to be years where 15 teams bid zero credits and how you resolve the back end of the draft that way.

But that's a relatively minor problem in the grand scheme of things.

It's an interesting proposal.

It would probably be less redistributive than the current system.

I guess I'm trying to understand what happens with the pick that I've already traded.

You wouldn't even bother trading for picks, it seems like.

You would just trade for credits.

I think for secondary players, we'll just see top five protections on picks and it'll be just like it was, except you have a better chance of getting the pick if you're the receiving team, because the team can't tank their way to keeping it.

So I don't really see a change in that.

And then the best players are still going to command unprotected picks.

I mean, that's, that's just how it is like.

Like a guy like Giannis, yeah, it's still going to be unprotected picks.

That's not going to change anything because the receiving team and really the trading team too is expecting that the team that gets Giannis is probably going to be pretty good, right?

So I don't think that's going to change much of the logic there.

Oh, I'm excited to see like real games in March between teams that are out of the playoffs where like you can actually, like one of the things fans love to see when it's a losing team is give us hope by letting me watch like our draft picks and our young good players.

But even those guys get shut down now.

Now you're watching, you're not even watching that.
