Someone should write a book (Pike?) about trades that almost happened.

It would be pretty fascinating if teams had to disclose their draft lists 20-25 years after each draft, so we could really see how they historically ranked and weighed players. Even more fascinating if they held logs of trade discussions and made those public too.
League is an entertainment business after all and one of the most entertaining things about sports is the behind the scenes stuff, which is why there are so many discussions based on little rumours we hear. It would be good for busines (like that Hey Burkie series).
Might not be that good for the egos of a few GM, scouts or owners though, so they’d never do it
