I like the idea of having a 3rd pick too. Do we care about having some form of the Stepien rule in place? If a manager wants to give up 3 picks in consecutive years, that's fine with me.. just would suck for a new manager to come in and not have any draft assets to help them out if the previous manager went nuclear.
Ya, I thought about that as well. I don't know if it's needed. I think it was with you even we did the 17th pick thing? Which is a good alternative if absolutely necessary.
But ya, I'm open to whatever people think is right.

Yeah you guys gave me the 17th pick in my first year.. really helped actually.
To clarify you mean 3rd picks as the pick 3 years from now ? I'm not against that if we remain with only 16 lotto picks a year
Ya exactly. Instead of having 2 years of picks available to trade, we have 3. Definitely didn't consider a 2nd round, which I think we decided a long time ago was never really going to be an option.
My suggestion of just sliding the window by a couple months (to once either our championship or the NBA championship is done) would prevent any Stepien rule stuff from being necessary. Once the draft is done the furthest out a team could be in the hole would still be two years.
The other benefit is it frees up assets at a time when people are still antsy from the recent season and engaged during the NBA draft and free agency, whereas the current system unlocks those assets in August after most of the league pokes their head out for the draft but otherwise is rather disengaged for summer vacation.
Do we have a date for the draft start? Going to be away on vacation middle of August so would be great if it is early or late August. But that's just my preference i know everybody probably has something that works best for them

Standing assumption is August 1st unless there's a reason to change it.
