The NBA has some seemingly arbitrary rules on conditional contracts and trades.
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey told Adam Silver he’d like to see some of those rules change.
“I actually brought it up with the commissioner, and he thought it was int – but there’s some practical reasons why the league won’t allow that, even though I think there might be a way to overcome them,” Morey said. “I think that could allow teams to not ever have fear. Like if that Harden trade had, oh, if he becomes an All-Star, you have to send yet another future first-round pick. Or if he fails, we get back a pick. I think that would grease a lot of deals.”
