Sounds as if NBA teams want more time between picks, especially in the second round, as wheeling and dealing becomes more popular.
If there were to be any bright side to this at all, it might be that ESPN would be forced to actually *cover* the second round instead of completely ignoring it like they do now. But I do wonder what stretching this out will do to the overall enjoyment of watching the draft.
