So basically we can only take 2 picks in the draft aswell as will Darcy and that’s our list full? No chance of grabbing 3 in the draft and Darcy too ?
 
We’ve probably been told that Darcy will be bid on earlier than we thought & needed a pick with points.

We could take any of our NGA's as Cat B rookies if they're overlooked but we'd have to nominate them first. Doesn't look like we've done that for any of them.
Seems like a disappointing result considering it’s a free hit with no cap or list impact.

I agree but have been told it's still weighed up as spreading the coaches and developement staff across more players. I can't see how one more player who takes no other capital is that much of a strain though.
 
Surely not. It’ll be good to have another Darcy developing just incase, but let’s be honest on his output so far he’ll be extremely lucky to be drafted.
Yeah if this guy wasn't a Darcy would anyone even be talking about drafting him?

I still feel like we make another draft day trade now with this pick. Maybe we use 53 and 33 to move up a few slots with a team who needs points or wants another late pick. Maybe its 14 and 33 to go up a few slots to grab a slider and then use 53 and 70 as our next two picks.

I dont think we just traded a future 4th to grab Darcy with an earlier pick.

70 and 74 won't be there anymore. We can only go into the draft with 3 picks.
 
Seems like a remarkably strange trade unless we plan on making more moves.

Perhaps we will move our pick 33 into 2026 as additional collateral and plan to use pick 14, 53 and pick up Darcy late?

Ahhh ok I thought we could trade away picks on the night and still access those picks once we traded, damn.

Seems strange we wouldn't just sign Coffield and / or Baker after the draft and have the extra pick flexibility? That would mean we have to de-list with the intention to re-draft like Sydney are doing with Rampe and Lloyd hey?
 
70 and 74 won't be there anymore. We can only go into the draft with 3 picks.
So we could still trade picks away as long as we get the same amount of picks back right?

IE 14 and 33 for 12 and 50 (just as an example) or 33 and 53 for 28 and 68?

We still have that flexibility but have to maintain 3 picks? Or if we use 33 and 53 to trade for say pick 25, do we then just have to hope Darcy falls to the rookie draft or we miss out on him?

I don't think this is true - we have to make some upgrades to the main list, right? Which are done at the draft, so we would have to be able to access more picks.

My apologies you're correct! Can take in 70 and 74 due to upgrading Baker and JOD.

Once the draft starts you can bring in as many picks as you like. As pointed out above though we will be able to take in 5 picks as we require two more spots for upgrades.
This is a loophole used when matching bids and why Suns won't split their picks until the draft starts even though theyd be arranged prior.

Perfect ok thanks. So I think a smart move to bring in another pick that may have some value and give us some flexibility on the night.
