Considering scoring has been on the rise as the years pass, coaches simply want to be prepared to defend as soon as possible. If a big is near the basket, he might attempt at an offensive rebound but if there is no prime OREB position available, get back on defense. (Not assuming you DON'T understand why it happens)

Sounds like he was never coming back. Only way they could’ve prevented it was taking him in the first round so they could match any offer, of course they didn’t know how he would turn out so he fell to them in the 2nd, and those guys are unrestricted FAs once the rookie deal is up

Brogdon was restricted.
But once Bledsoe inked his deal, Brogdon was done in Milwaukee. He wanted the ball in his hands more. Plus I think Milwaukee wasn't confident in his health.
I believe Indy's owner called Milwaukee's owner personally to get a deal done.

Damn, I didn’t know that distinction about resigning first/second round picks. That’s a gamechanger. I honestly don’t vividly remember the situation but thought it was about money because I do recall us calling them cheap and talking about how they goofed.
The dialogue about Milwaukee bungling the Brogdon situation has gone from a biweekly to weekly conversation now
Edit: Yeah what I was thinking it was along the lines of what

What do you think about that? Failure or success getting to the 2nd round without another star? They're a 4th seed minimum imo.
Outside of Lakers, and clips, who would you say is consistently better in the west? So far. Not based on previous years. Just from what we've seen through 12 games. I have them better than phoenix. They've been playing elite defense which has enabled them to compete with most teams. Especially in the west. They get to 3rd or 4th, they wouldnt even have to face the top 2 til late. Could possibly beat denver or utah. Portland is cooked.
Not gassing them but just based on what we've seen so far...they should have a positive outlook. And they have the 4th toughest schedule now and they're staying afloat. Which means it'll get easier and they should rack up wins provided they stay healthy.

Steph is solidified to me. Nothing he does matters to me. He is complete success already. He is playing with house money this season. He can't "fail."
I am just saying I personally don't have high expectations for this GSW team to be ultra-competitive with the following teams once they play up to their abilities.
Lakers
Clippers
Nuggets
Jazz
I think GSW has a CHANCE to beat everyone else but I wouldn't BET on them.
TO me, at best they are the 5th team in the West. But I could also say that about DAL/MEM and to a degree PHO (not too sure about them though).
So anything from 5-8 is what I expect from them.

Steph is playing at a high level. playing like this, he should be able to lead the Warriors to the playoffs. It's just kind of funny that when he was struggling I heard "Steph is past his prime" and "he needs more help" but now that he's playing better people are saying that anymore. Interesting.
Good for Steph though. He's an all-time great player playing at a high level

I believe teams can offer “cash considerations” in trades because that was a big thing in The Bubble with TJ Warren but I’m not exactly sure how that works or the limitations. I think that (and trading picks) has happened with coaches as well.

I wonder what type of contract Lonzo is going to get in the off-season, especially with NAW's progress. Are the Pelicans going to resign him?

IT WAS THREE GAMES INTO THE SEASON
This what have you done for me now culture is out of control.
Imagine that a brand new team/starting line up is starting to gel more after 14 games

There’s a limit on how much cash you can offer in compensation.

I believe it's a $5M limit per NBA season.
He's a terrible fit with the current New Orleans starters and SVG's offense. Plus he himself is very limited.

That's my whole point. Steph was never passed his prime and he never needed more help. They just weren't playing well. Three games into season people were lining up making excuses for Steph and the Warriors when all the needed to do was play better. Now they're playing better and they look like a playoff contender.

Ahhhh figured. In that case, what you proposed would definitely be out of pocket for a few reasons. The most obvious being that it would give the wealthiest owners a leg up on everyone else in a league with a salary cap. Second, and maybe more important, the owner accepting a yacht in order to trade a player would mean they’re putting their own self interests above their fanbase which definitely wouldn’t go over well.
Having said that, I’m all about grey areas and loopholes so I would explore this if I was ever an owner/part of an ownership group
