[Benwallacedetroit3]

2012 Blazers second round pick given up.

Thanks.

[Lakers GM]

12 Rockets second.

[djmyte]

Is it me or are there a LOT of 1st picks being given up due to cap penalties? I think this needs to be looked at as some teams are spending a lot more than others yet they all face the same penalty.

[djmyte]

Take - Raps 18 1st and earliest 2nd.

[HeatGM]

lakers 2014 2nd

[C.C.]

Bulls give up:
2014 Bulls 2nd Round Pick
2016 Bulls 1st Round Pick

Thanks.

We could start taking 2 1sts for teams way over

[djmyte]

i was thinking upping the digits....so there would be less 1st round pick forfeiting. salaries keep climbing as more and more extensions are given.

I dont want to increase spending though. I want to keep spending in line.

I strongly disagree.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

wolves 1st rounder this year and whatever second

[Basone's Blazers]

warriors 2013 second, and Blazers 2016 first.

[Manas]

any 2nd and the Hornets 1st this year

[Manas]

I think if anything penalties should be more harsh. I'd advocate that teams way over lose the best pick they own instead of one at their choice.

Of course you would, you're getting the picks...for free.

The only reason you say this is because you're at the bottom end of the league now.

[Benderheart]

hawks give up the 2019 hawks pick

[djmyte]

Im not saying No penalties..but giving teams picks for "bad decisions"...or an "inability to put a winning team together" penalizes GMs for building good teams...which in order to keep together requires spending $$.

If half the teams in the league are forfeiting picks....where are you supposed to dump your contracts? Everyone is over the cap already, aside from 1 or 2 teams.

A number of teams are already guaranteed to be forfeiting picks for next year and the season hasnt even started...

Raising the penalty barriers follows in line with LEAGUE spending and gives teams a chance to maybe get under.

[garf2000]

76ers Give up 2019 1st and 2013 2nd

No, I'm saying that even though I was 50 something over the cap.

[AJBBall]

i had some high expectations for the last pick in the draft, but i think i have to give it up, warriors 2nd rounder this year

[MavsGM]

I think that there needs to be a restriction on how far you can go into the future as far as forfeiting picks. I see 2019 picks being forfeited and we are only on the 2012 draft. I mean, these picks could easily be lottery because no one knows how good they'll be in 7 years, but being over the cap for a season needs to have more of an immediate impact (within the next 3 seasons) in my opinion. Plus, the number of teams owing picks may just soon be all of us in a while if we keep using our one max a year to extend our star players that we either draft or build a franchise with.

Just my two cents.

[Lumley316kings]

Hey Spencer could you give me a choice of throwing the pick back for the penalty that i get for it anyways or give up my 2021 1st later on plus the bostons 2nd in 13

[Lumley316kings]
