The draft and free agency in this offseason was supposed to be a prelude, but when two former MVPs want to bolt their team and become available via trade, the ripples will be felt in both conferences.

Before free agency, the 2020 NBA Draft was held. This class was largely inconsequential, and it’s unlikely that one team’s destiny could turn around with the players drafted here. However, we should take note that the last draft class that was as lowly regarded as 2020 was the 2013 Draft Class.
