What if the BPA on YOUR teams board was a guy you knew you could get at 9? Then, wouldn't trading back and picking up 27 make sense?


How do those late 1s work out in the new salary cap world? I know they were kind of take it or leave it a couple years ago because you are giving a guaranteed contract to a marginal pick, does the higher cap really make it that much better?

I mean, the 27th pick this year will be making 1 percent of your cap in 2017, 2018, etc

To put it in perspective, that is about half of what a min contract took up in past years.

If that guy hits, you are way ahead of the curve. Even if that guy becomes a Norman Powell, solid 8th man type, you are underpaying him by 500% or more of current market value. And you have him for 4-5 years locked in at that price unless he hits the starters criteria, in which case he makes a little more but you would happily pay 3 percent of your cap to a guy starting or playing 2000 mins per year

The back half of the draft guys from last year started about $1.1 million and in their 4th year will be at $2.2, then they become RFAs. As long as they are better than a guy you can get off the street it's a pretty good deal.
