My favorite teams
Well, not many people are sitting on two firsts next year, so you're limiting options. Theoretically, it can happen though and the fact that you can't see why is a problem. Another problem is you think people just randomly offer a trade without an objective. If there comes a point in the draft where the right player is available at the right price, a team may do that kind of trade. But it takes the right player being available and a team having 2 firsts available. You'll probably never find that cause teams don't want to kick all assets into the future. You're more likely to see a 2nd and a future 1st in that case... so your scenario is fairly unlikely.No, I wouldn’t trade future picks to move up. I wouldn’t trade a first this year for a first next year. I would trade a first this year for 2 firsts next year.
And everything you said can be applied to you as well.
As for me, nothing I said applies to me. I showed you evidence that teams operate this way. You can do the exercise yourself and prove otherwise... or not do it. I don't care that you don't see it. Ultimately, all you've done is base your stance on nothing besides what you feel would be a good idea. I'm showing you actual trades that disprove your opinion being the actual way teams operate. You're taking no consideration for present vs. future value. It's already been presented to you in this thread in financial terms, but here we are... discussing basic fundamental concepts that are knowns and you believe are wrong.
