Excerpt: "Incentives"

"There are QO free agents that can help these teams, but if the cost is the #11 or #12 pick in the draft, plus the draft budget attached to that pick, there's a massive disincentive to sign one. Forcing a rebuilding team to choose between the draft and free agency is terrible industry policy. Drawing a bright line that says a .468 team has to make that choice and a .463 team doesn't is just unconscionable."
