There is a discrepancy about how many first round chances the 14 seed had. The NBA draft lottery page says 5, this page says 10? Arec326 (talk) 13:46, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why don’t we get rid of the bolding for those who sign with an agent? This year players can sign with an agent and still return to school. While in some cases we know players are in to stay, otherwise it’s just conjecture. In the end, the boldface gets removed from those left on the list after the deadline anyway. Rikster2 (talk) 22:22, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No objection. IIRC, there's never been a key explaining the bolding, so only fans would infer what it meant anyways. Regarding returning to school, the NCAA citation in the article said "This change is effective if/when the NBA and NBPA make an expected rule change, which would make undrafted student-athletes who return to college after the draft ineligible for the NBA until the end of the next college basketball season." Did that ever happen?—Bagumba (talk) 02:13, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CHANGE: "Since the Sacramento Kings drew the 14th and final lottery pick this year, it will be conveyed to the Philadelphia 76ers, who in turn will convey their 24th overall pick to the Celtics. (If the Kings had drawn the #1 pick, it would have been conveyed to the Celtics.)"

TO: "Since the Sacramento Kings drew the 14th and final lottery pick this year, it will be conveyed to the Boston Celtics, via a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers. (If the Kings had drawn the #1 pick, it would have been conveyed to the 76ers who would have in turn conveyed the 24th pick to the Celtics.)"

This note was correct in future tense before the draft lottery, but has been made incorrect in past tense. Jimjimjimjames (talk) 14:29, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note 3 is 100% backwards. It should read:

^ 3: Since the Sacramento Kings drew the 14th and final lottery pick this year, it will be conveyed to the Boston Celtics, who in turn will convey their 24th overall pick to the Philadelphia 76ers. (If the Kings had drawn the #1 pick, it would have been conveyed to the 76ers.)

The 23rd pick now belongs to Memphis because of the Mike Conley trade. Here is something that can be cited: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2816058-report-mike-conley-traded-to-jazz-for-jae-crowder-kyle-korver-draft-picks 65.78.7.33 (talk) 16:54, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering who will answer the question. Anyways, it seems like I'll do the job, for now.

DeAndre Hunter was drafted by the Lakers then traded to the Hawks (and actually not even officially until July) but the draft board shows drafted by the Hawks. That’s not right and nit how this should reflect. That’s just one example. Rikster2 (talk) 03:13, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Same is true of all the picks to be traded in July. This needs to be fixed as the official draft teams are those called by the commissioner Rikster2 (talk) 03:48, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This has been corrected. @Rikster2: is there a policy for how we should reflect trades that are pending due to the moratorium period? There are a lot of "reported" pending trades that cannot be executed until July, such as the Anthony Davis trade and the Dario Saric trade. Here is a list of the draft board and the "reported" trades: https://www.nba.com/article/2019/06/21/2019-nba-draft-results-picks-1-60. I guess my question is should we even list the reported trades, or just leave it as De'Andre Hunter drafted by Los Angeles, and not mention the reported trades to NOP and ATL. Natg 19 (talk) 18:09, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba:, any thoughts on this? Natg 19 (talk) 17:45, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I presume all these trades are reports based on anonymous sources. Per

WP:SPORTSTRANS, I'd say to hold off until they are official. (Personally, I don't have much time to patrol most of these right now.)—Bagumba (talk) 17:54, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply

]

Reported trades should not be considered as draft-day trades. Even though most of the trades, if not all, will eventually become official on July 6 (or later), they should not be treated similar to draft-day trades. I've started a separate section and will start to complete the reported trades with references. When the trades become official, I suggest that we change the reportedly traded into later traded to distinguish between the draft-day trades and the trades that were made official on later date. Any thoughts? - MT (talk) 14:29, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable. The important thing is to be accurate, which means either preface it with "reported" or removing mention altogether.—Bagumba (talk) 15:52, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. Natg 19 (talk) 22:07, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the remaining refs and information for the reported trades. Natg 19 (talk) 00:07, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! - MT (talk) 02:42, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just noting that some trades were official, like the Nets getting Jaylen Hands from the Clippers.[1]. I guess others are delayed for salary cap reasons.—Bagumba (talk) 10:05, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct, most of the trades that were delayed were due to salary cap reasons as these trades include current players with existing contract. The teams who will receive them must wait until July 6 when their team's salary reduced and able to absorb the incoming players' salary under the cap. All (except one trade) were already announced and I've already updated them with the correct details and references. - MT (talk) 07:32, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
