But what does the lower ranked team gets ?

Money ? We are not talking about trading anymore. Just selling and buying draft picks.

Yep Primarily Money Sir... IMO its a trade coz it includes the exchange of Rounds Drafting Positions for the teams involved in the transaction.

Exchange of draft picks ? So you give away the second choice of the draft in exchange of the 16th and 32th ? Not exactly great. If you invested in the draft, better to use it on the 2nd choice. If you didn't, those two picks are even more useless than they originally are.

Great idea sir would make it more realism... but what I have in mind is only per Round Draft Pick Position Trading... but this what you said could also be great if can be implemented.


My interest is Training a Homegrown players... I have also Invested all my Scouting Point Points this season and found the 2 5/5 Draftees... but Being the 3rd Rank Team... My Team only received my 3rd Preference...

We all feel/think different... and it kinda show that we have a different level of interest in terms of the Drafting element... But If I there's a way that a Promoting team that is willing to Train Draftees can have a better Drafting position... I think it would be great. But I am not married to the idea... I just shared it... coz I believe that Draft Position Trading is way better than Conference Player Trades as to what the Original topic is about.

Imagine if I got 3 good Draft prospects... But Ranked 3rd. We can probably choose Trading our 28th Pick to 17th,18th or 19th... and will get a good change of at least getting 1 of our 3 top Prospects... and how much would the 2nd Round picks can be bought? if it is probably below 50K ill take it.

I agree that pick trades or buyouts would be interesting, for all teams actually because it adds more strategic choices on the table. Draft as it is now is already one of the best features in the game, so it would be really bad to mess it up. Nevertheless, here is my 2 cents at it:

There could be a site with draft picks in each round (1 - 16) listed with teams that currently hold each of the picks. In that site, other teams could add a public offer, seen to everyone, or alternatively the details about the offer could be hidden, but I would put a general information out there like: team X has shown interest in team Y draft pick. Offer example: Team B (currently 8th team in league standings) offers it's first round pick and 300.000 for team A first round pick (worse team in league). There could also be team C (13th team in league standings), which offers 150.000 and it's first round pick or team D (best in the league) which offers 800.000 and it's first round pick. Then, team A has certain time period (like three days) to either declines offers or pick one. I would also put option for teams to make a public statement that they are interested to trade their picks (team X has interest to trade their 1. round draft pick). Time window when pick trades can be offered and made should be carefully selected, maybe at allstar weekend (when it is boring for most BB comunity and teams have in general good feeling about their end standing) and until the playoffs. Of course, certain teams could end up season on winning or loosing strake and that change their drafting position, but that risk could be allowed or, alternatively, put time window for trades like 1 or 2 games before playoffs.

Cheers
