A piece of advice for some of the new gm's, and feel free to ignore me if you want. If you propose a trade consider it like yahoo fantasy sports, once it's proposed, if the proposal is accepted the deal is consummated. Once it is accepted is not the time that you consider whether or not you want to do it or shop for better offers
Exactly I've already had 2 guys do this to me but since its the Pick2 i guess you just have to let it slide
Is it bad to drop at the last second? Happens all the time in the real NBA
If you have both agree to it yes.
Its like i tell you will you do
Kobe/Duncan
for
Lebron/Howard
And you say yes i cant be like oh i wont do it i got a better offer when i was the one who proposed it to you
So the GM who offered me Klay Thompson for some middle round picks should have been forced to go through with it? I would have liked it but it didn't happen.
As I've told people, play the team you have, not the one you might have if a trade happens.
I tend to agree with Rondo here. In legal terms, a contract is an offer, plus acceptance. Once that happens, both parties are bound. If we were more cutthroat in this draft, I'd hold people to that.
Here's an easy way around that: phrase your trade offers in a non-binding way, such as "I'm not sure if I'd do this, but what do you think about X for Y?" It doesn't have to be that exact language, but something that conveys that you're pondering multiple scenarios.
