It is important to understand that when we talk about NBA teams and how they manage their resources, we are talking about buyers and sellers. 

Buyers tends to be contenders. There is no doubt that these are the most talented teams in the NBA. The fact that they will exhaust all of their resources in order to ensure that they are as good as they can be cannot be doubted. 

Sellers are usually rebuilding. It’s important for these teams to know that they are not in a position to win an NBA title, so they plan for the future in the best possible way. There is a need for draft capital on their part. 

It is not always clear where a team lands when it comes to the playoffs. Take a look at the Jazz, for example.
