Tell me why my idea is stupid-NBA should get rid of the draft and have to recruit incoming rookies

[FTBS]

I don't think so. No top player bout to go to the warriors to ride the pine or to Cleveland to go sit behind vets. Cats ain't gonna be on that Kentucky shyt in the league cause they gotta get that second contract.

You talk about cats not being on that "Kentucky" shyt but they do it at Kentucky and other schools with their actual NBA career on the line. So what exactly is stopping them from doing so with extra money on the line, that really isn't on the line when you think about it? Harrison Barnes just got a max deal for avg 12 ppg on a winning team (after shytting the bed in the Finals). Jordan, Drummond, Tristan Thompson all cashed out on the strength of being garbage men who can roll to the rim. TT wasn't even the starter when he got his deal. Teams will throw money at pretty much any young dude that shows potential.

You look at those squads and every spot is not set in stone. Every squad has a weak spot or a spot that could be better. If an Embiid or AD or KAT or Porzingis type talent comes out of college this year, the Cavs aren't gonna say "not sure if we are gonna be able to get you minutes, we got Tristan you know?" Same with the Warriors and ZaZa. A generational talent would get K. Love or Draymond or pretty much everyone but Bron, Kyrie, Steph, or KD bumped as well. And even if dudes don't get starting gigs it's not like CLE or GSW has a bunch of dudes on the bench that are better than Simmons or KAT Simmons chooses to try to turn Philly around over being 6th man on the Cavs and getting the same money regardless?

Imagine the 03 Lakers bringing in Bron to play with his favorite player and another guy that he looked up to in Shaq or the 97 Lakers selling Duncan on playing next to Shaq and all their young perimeter studs? What reason would Bron have to pick CLE over that? Same for Duncan and SA. No one with options is gonna chose to play on shytty teams in cold weather/irrelevant cities. You remove any chance for a non-glamour team/market with that set up.

Yes, yes it does. There are plenty of great players sitting on the benches of historically great soccer teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. The best teams have their pick of the best young soccer talents ever year, cherry pick those guys, and release the rest. There are great basketball talents whom would rather compete for a spot on their favorite teams over some years than go to Utah. Said talents can always traverse and start at Utah in free agency. OP's suggestion amounts to the rich getting richer, which is what happens in other sports. We have experiments to prove it.

ain't no superstars on the bench and if they are riding the bench its cause they shook to leave and get exposed
a nba roster is not as deep as a fukking football squads
and the rich should get richer young talent shouldn't have to go to shyt organizations in shyt locations just because
i don't give a fukk jahahahahaa fukk a draft

WHY WOULDNT IT WORK?

If your team really sucks there's a very good chance you're not gonna win that tournament (Why would you? You're a bad team). The tournament would be built off the premise of "y'all ain't that bad. Y'all just tanking."


On the flip side, let's pick the Suns. I'm Eric Bledsoe. If the Suns win the tourney, they get to pick a guy that makes me expendable. Why would I play hard?

Parity

In the NBA?


More like Parody

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

Everyone saying "what's going to stop the, from going to GS or Cle"

Well, salary cap for one.


With the removal of the draft the rookies would not be restricted to a rookie pay scale, therefore teams would still have a salary cap and the shyttyteams would be able to throw WAY more money at the young rooks.



It works

If Milwaukee or Utah can pay the most and/or offer them a starting role, they will

Exactly what all the posters on the first page failed to think about

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

Who the fukk is going to Charlotte? New Orleans, Indiana etc

Someone who wants to get paid and play right away.

Also you say who's going to want to go to (said teams)




Then why even have those teams in the first place?

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

so what happens when no one commits to teams? you're supposed to just go without new players for forever or until you luck up and get a commit?

this is stupid


what about when the next set of super friends comes thru the draft and they all go to one team?

you toeing the line of a neg for this thread

As if young men are going to turn down MILLIONS and just not play

And



Have u not been watching the NBA the past 6 years

Let's just throw parity and competitiveness out the window brehs

As if the NBA is full of parity right now when we got Cleveland - GS finals rematch for the 3rd time this year, and possibly next year as well



Parity

Brehs premise was just to get commits, which allows them to choose to go to the same teams...dudes will still get paid and be on stacked teams...these are rookie contracts

Secondly there have been a few "big 3's", sure...but this literally sets up a big 5/7/10.

Thread premise is stupid

OP stated that you would still have the same slots with the same salaries.
