I hope OKC and FTA takes a long look in the mirror. They have enough time hopefully before next season to clean up their act. Looking forward to Spurs vs Knicks. Hopefully it will be a good and entertaining series.

He kinda reminded me of Kelly Oubre. Does a lot of stuff that wows you, can play real exciting, but is really selfish and often painfully stupid on the court.

So last season I read a lot of articles that said some teams have bought second round picks for cash. We didn't do it. I have been skeptical of this, so I googled it:
"
Yes, NBA teams frequently buy or trade for second-round draft picks using cash considerations.
Some specific examples of teams buying or dealing picks for cash include:
Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers (2022): The Magic acquired a future second-round pick and cash considerations from the Lakers in exchange for the 35th overall pick.
Washington Wizards and Milwaukee Bucks (2018): The Bucks acquired a future second-round pick and cash considerations from the Wizards in a trade involving Jodie Meeks.
Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic (2016): The Magic received cash considerations and a future second-round pick from Cleveland in exchange for Joe Harris and a future second-rounder.
While the NBA does not allow teams to buy picks with unlimited funds, the league sets an annual maximum limit for the amount of cash a team can send or receive in trades (which typically adjusts around \(\$5.6\) million depending on the current Collective Bargaining Agreement)
This seems like an area where our Billionaire owner could actually take advantage of the rules.
