There was a post on the subject I meant to respond to. I can't locate it at the moment so....
Gutekunst doesn't think so and there isn't much reason to doubt that.
This might actually work better with less hoopla and fewer distractions.

- Trading is done by phone. That hasn't changed.
- If you can't get through to the point man, you call the #2 or #3 or #4 to get the message through. Everybody has the numbers like always.
- All the critical players are on video conferencing. They can talk or wave if the point man is on the phone just as when they are in the same room. I don't think much pinching goes on ordinarily.
- Whatever slowdown may emerge in the process, keep in mind most trades are executed in advance on contingency, and finalized when the highest pick involved hits the clock. I don't think there are many draft teams that are so slow witted as to start a negotiation for a pick on the clock.
- If the league was concerned they would have elongated the time on the clock. They haven't.
