Chris Drury's attempts to trade K'Andre Miller fell short of generating interest, leaving the team without trade options. Moreover, the decentralized draft format faced criticism for inefficiency, as it extended the first round to four hours, hampered trade negotiations, and proved awkward for GMs navigating remote communications. Observers noted the poor execution of virtual communications and the need for a more centralized draft process moving forward.
