@Theperipatetic1@a_bohus@MambaToJoker@PolymarketHoops@KevinOConnor You’re wrong. You can literally do that. Your rule you stated early, you misinterpreted that. A swap is a loophole around the Stepien rule, because at the end of the day you still get a 1st round pick. THE PROOF IS LITERALLY THE JAMES HARDEN TRADE. That was all of their picks.
@Theperipatetic1@a_bohus@MambaToJoker@PolymarketHoops@KevinOConnor You’re just wrong and it’s hilarious cuz ChatGPT is right here. They had no other 1st round picks available following the trade. You can trade control of 7 picks with alternating pick swaps. Even if those are the only 7 first rounders you own. It’s literally as simple as that.
@Theperipatetic1@a_bohus@MambaToJoker@PolymarketHoops@KevinOConnor How do the transaction logs, prove the draft assets the Nets had available after the James Harden trade? Either prove to me the Nets had all these first rounders immediately following the James Harden trade. You’ll never find the proof brother, it doesn’t exist. You’re wrong
@Theperipatetic1@a_bohus@MambaToJoker@PolymarketHoops@KevinOConnor Show it dumbass. The picks they’ve used in recent years were acquired after they traded KD, Kyrie and James Harden. You are dead wrong here buddy, I’m sorry you’re retarded. It clearly states they had no control over any 1st rounders at the time the trade was made. ReTaRd
@Theperipatetic1@a_bohus@MambaToJoker@PolymarketHoops@KevinOConnor Show me what first rounders they had remaining after the James Harden then. Show me the proof you idiot. I just showed you they had no 1st round assets available after the trade. Your dumbass is arguing to argue. You are wrong, prove it to me they had other 1st round assets.
@Theperipatetic1@a_bohus@MambaToJoker@PolymarketHoops@KevinOConnor If you’re retarded ass can have the ability to read all of this. IT CLEARLY STATES THE NETS HAD NO REMAINING 1ST ROUNDERS AFTER THE TRADE. It also does not violate the Stepien rules because the picks are swaps. YOU FUCKING RETARD.
@Theperipatetic1@a_bohus@MambaToJoker@PolymarketHoops@KevinOConnor The other picks are irreverent to the trade. They make no difference whether they have other picks or just their own. Most of the picks they accumulated weren’t even owned by the Nets at the time that trade was made.
@Theperipatetic1@a_bohus@MambaToJoker@PolymarketHoops@KevinOConnor If the only picks you had were all your original picks and that’s it. You can trade at maximum 4 first rounders unprotected and 3 swaps. BECAUSE A SWAP MEANS YOU STILL HAVE A FIRST ROUNDER, just the less favorable one betweeen the two trading teams.
@Theperipatetic1@a_bohus@MambaToJoker@PolymarketHoops@KevinOConnor YES YOU CAN. A swap allows you to get over the rule cuz no matter what you end up with a first round pick in that year. If you trade a swap, that team is allowed to either give you their pick or take yours. Whichever is more favorable. Which doesn’t violate the Stepien Rule
