He´s tried that the last two years, but I think teams are not that interested to get screwed by him twice on the same deals. Teams are like: yeah here have all our 16-30 picks and see what you can do with them,but we are not giving you our lottery picks on a 3 for 1 swap. It´s cute to have 37 picks, but you only have 15 roster spots.
It´s also kind of funny that everybody was giving Philly shit for The Process, because Hinkie publically exposed the concept. The whole Process lasted four years.
Presti is doing exactly the same thing to an even more ridiculous extent. It´s been almost three years since the PG13/Westbrook trades. NBA Code of Omerta. Just don´t talk about it and everything is cool. The league and the other owners have seemingly accepted that OKC is the recycling bin of the NBA.
