Something else that could reduce some write-up clutter would be to adjust how we write out draft day trades. Right now it\\\'s \\\"So-And-So was selected #10 overall by Team A then immediately traded to Team B\\\". Except in a few rare cases, Team B was always \\\"picking\\\" that player, the NBA just doesn\\\'t allow actual draft pick trades like the NFL, so Team A still needs to make the pick then trade the player\\\'s rights. (It\\\'s annoying.)
Something I\\\'ve seen done elsewhere woule be to instead write it like \\\"So-And-So was selected #10 overall by Team B (via Team A)\\\". Much clearer and less wordy to me.
Like I said, there would still be a few cases where we want to do it the old way because the player actually did join Team A first. Andrew Wiggins comes to mind, being selected by the Cavs and signed to a contract but traded before his rookie year.
Thoughts?
