Message: [QUOTE="Gabjon, post: 1732997, member: 990"] First round picks have guaranteed contacts based on the rookie pay scale. Teams cannot trade their first round picks 2 years in a row. Often teams feel there or no player that fits their system or would prefer not to pay a guy a couple of million to sit the bench so they draft a euro player many times knowing he never plans on coming to america. Second round picks are completely different no guaranteed contacts are required, picks can be traded ever year and are often sold for cash. Each teams situation is different based on their cap space and free agency, which starts the week after the draft. All of these things are in the CBA and the CBA is slatted towards veterans because colleges don't get a vote. [/QUOTE]
