    Don't know if this is a joke, but with an excited billionaire with a passion for basketball in the draftroom, anything is possible.

    I don't care how he talks. I want to see him make some good moves before anointing him. I suppose his kind of demeanor is good for trade negotiations, though.

    The guy traded an unprotected 1st round pick. You just don't do that.

    Kyrie Irving looks special, too. Could end up being one of the worst trades ever made.

    Yes you do. When your owners says "get rid of 12M in salary" and he says "it'll take a draft pick that the LEAGUE SAYS WE CANNOT PROTECT" and Sterling says "do it", you do it.

    Stepien Rules didn't allow them to protect that pick, so they didn't have a choice. That pick also only had a 2% percent of winning the lottery that year.

    Why did the league say he can't protect it?
