NBA Draft, free agency flipped? Intriguing idea may not be feasible
The NBA Draft would be held after free agency if a proposal made by the Houston Rockets earlier this year, and reportedly gaining momentum, is enacted.
According to a report from Zach Lowe of ESPN.com, a proposal that would flip-flop the timing of the NBA Draft and free agency is gaining some momentum.
The Houston Rockets proposed the idea during a league meeting in April, according to Lowe, who reported that a few prominent general managers are in support of the idea.
Gersson Rosas, executive vice president of basketball operations for the Rockets, presented the idea at a pre-lottery meeting in Chicago.
