November 25th: Recently, American reporter Keith Smith talked about some team operations in the podcast "NBAFrontOffice".

"As the discussion of the next draft class continues to heat up, and with the team's results in the regular season becoming clearer, some teams may give up on the season early to increase their odds in the draft lottery. This strategy may allow these teams to become sellers earlier in the trade market to try to get ahead. For other teams that may adopt similar strategies. With the arrival of the NBA trade season, teams are paying close attention to market dynamics. Hopefully, we can see more exciting games in the next games and hope that more players can stay healthy."
