NBA Draft to Add a Third Round?

One of the issues being discussed at the NBA's CBA talks is an expansion of the draft, SheridanHoops.com is reporting. The owners want to add a third round. The union has countered with a number of proposals that would give additional picks at the top of the draft to the teams with the worst records.

My initial reaction? This is a problem in search of a solution. Under the current two-round system, most teams are more than willing to trade late second-round picks for a few dollars... or waste them on 27-year-old Qatari-league all-stars that aren't even eligible for selection.

But after further review, I'm starting to think of this as a no-lose proposition. Especially if it comes with an expansion of the D-League.
