Came from a shitpost on the NBACirclejerk subreddit.
The NBA disaster draft is a contingency plan to be used when 5 or more players on a team have died or have been dismembered. In the draft, the team whose players died will be able to draft the amount of players from other teams equivalent to how many they had lost.
Other teams though are only allowed to protect 5 players from being drafted, but many teams have good sixth men that are available such as Bronny James or Thanasis Antetokounmpo. With the Mavs having bad contracts on underperforming such as Klay Thompson and Anthony Davis, but they could also just kill 2-way players and bench warmers to fill out those 5 kills to get the disaster draft.
Also, according to Bill Simmons, the team would also get the first pick in the 2029 draft. Now that draft class is weak so I could understand their urgency, while being a repeat offender, that is, killing 5 players on your team on 2 separate occasions could raise some eyebrows, but this could still greatly improve them.
No doubt killing your players with bad contracts and then killing your benchwarmers for sixth men would would greatly improve them and other teams. What do you guys think, and should any other teams do this and who should they kill?
