Trade rule creates entertaining mess in NBA draft

The NBA Draft was an entertaining hot mess Thursday night.

From a record 15 trades to players wearing hats from teams that had traded their rights to someone else, the draft became chaotic and annoying must-see TV.

Plus those trades ruined all those mocks that had been coming out in droves for weeks.

There’s got to be a better way to have a draft than making deals during it that aren't official until two weeks later, leaving teams unable to move forward and start working with their new players.
