How NBA teams trade their future

Описание: #nba #nbadraft #nbatrades
Trading draft picks entirely depends on the team’s direction. If a team is in a win-now situation, they can trade their future draft pick for a veteran player who has more experience and can give impact right off the bat. After all, drafting a player out of college takes time to develop and adjust to the NBA.

Meanwhile, if a team wants to rebuild, they can trade their current star player for a couple of future first-round picks. This ensures that a rebuilding team can get new talent(s) to start over again. They covet high draft picks due to the amount of talent out of college, and even overseas.

Of course, trading draft picks also has its rules. In this article, we’ll explain how trading NBA draft picks works and the rules that accompany them.

For non-playoff teams, they can start trading as soon as after the regular season. For playoff teams, they can start trading once they are eliminated in the postseason. This includes all assets such as players, draft picks, and even cash. Teams can trade up to the NBA trade deadline which occurs a few weeks after the all-star break.

When it comes to NBA draft night trades, teams are also allowed. Lots of trades happen on draft night.
