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

[FTBS]

that would be impossible without an order since your spot in the draft determines how much that rookie gets.

It wasn't my idea . That said, all you have to do is give every team a rookie exception, similar to the mid level and veteran's exceptions that already exist.

There are enough teams so that a franchise changing level player would never have to set foot in a Memphis, Milwaukee, Utah, OKC, Sacramento, Indiana, or Orlando. Why would a top 10 level player even consider those spots when they could go to a major city and be one of the top 3 players on the squad?

 

[MJ Truth]

Yes they will. There are some spots open on both the Warriors and the Cleveland inasmuch as players prove themselves. Many top young players will just bet on themselves and go to the Cavs or Warriors, or some other team in the top half of the NBA. The bottom half of the NBA will get no talent and will virtually never be able to compete for a title a la the English Premier league in soccer. American sports would become unwatcheable.

Depends on how the salary cap works though. Teams like the Cavaliers and the Warriors wouldn't be able to afford the top rookies anyway.

And RIGHT NOW the majority of NBA teams are unwatchable.

How many rookies come in as top ten level players? And when's the last time any of those teams you listed got a franchise changing player in the draft (from a top five pick) ANYWAY? Only Oklahoma City in the last two decades, and Orlando with Dwight.

Under the current system there is the possibility for those teams to draft franchise players. The system suggested in this thread eliminates it completely. That's the problem.

cuz then players probably would only go to good teams or teams with good markets and the bum teams will stay bums

How does it eliminate it though? You are ASSUMING it'll eliminate it, and there are actually reasons to believe that the suggested system would actually give teams a BETTER chance to get a great player. I'll edit this post later with a couple of reasons when I get off.

I see no reason a franchise player would choose Utah, Sacramento, or Memphis over New York, LA, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, etc... If LA is lacking a superstar the next available one in the draft is going there!

Stan Van on board

NBA owners recently passed draft lottery reform to try to eliminate tanking, but Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy doesn't believe that step was drastic enough.

Speaking to reporters Friday, Van Gundy stated that if the league truly wants to eliminate tanking, it should abolish the draft, do away with the rookie salary scale and make all incoming players free agents.

"I'd get rid of it, just get rid of the draft altogether," Van Gundy said. "We'd just deal with the salary cap. Make all [rookies] free agents coming in, and if I want to go give a guy $50 million a year, good, but I got to do it under the cap."

a little different than my idea but the premise is the same.
Remember that you heard it here 1st

It would never EVER happen because there’s too much money at stake but I don’t see the need for the NCAA when it’s jusy a glorified semi-pro league to begin with.

I am all for a minor league system.

I would imagine that has a lot to do with Stan being tired of picking 9th in the draft every year. That shyt would be straight chaos . Teams would clear out their roster when you had a Bron or Duncan available. They would do the same with some of the busts we've seen too and then be screwed for years thereafter. I wouldn't be against a set up where you are allowed to spend a certain amount of money based on your record (worst teams have the most money to spend) but guys would be able to pick their squads rather than being drafted. Then we could see what is truly most important to guys...money, market, teammates, minutes etc.

let teams offer contracts to the players that fit their need best
and let players accept the contract that they feel is best

Players union would never agree to a system that lets young draft picks get more of the pie.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

For all of y'all sayin "everybody would go to ". "

There are roster spot limits.

To add to that, I think you should only get to play for a team no more than 4 yrs.

Imagine the last home game of a player's 4th yr.
