NBA NEEDS to change it's draft-trade announcements
 

This whole waiting until later makes it so awkward for the teams and players involved. It's disrespect to the players in a BIG way. These kids have gone through a ROLLERCOASTER of emotions for so long and they FINALLY find out where their new home is moments before getting ****ed over and traded ELSEWHERE?

This is some 1920s BS. Have wanted that changed forever.

I think it's the most teaching way of welcoming them to the NBA.

They're all going to make millions of dollars to play basketball. I think they'll be ok.

Ummm, I think many of the trades aren't officially done. They announced the 43rd pick or something involving Atlanta that was officially done.

They aren't "officially done" because the league has to approve them, but none of these trades will get denied. They're picks for picks, nothing to deny there. I could understand if it's a HUGE trade, but c'mon. All other leagues have the integrity and competence to quickly gets these deals through. The NBA just doesn't.
