The point is we're delusional if we think our team is realistically going to be in position to draft Wiggins.


Why?

A smart GM would hold a firesale and get rid of most of our veterans, ensuring that we win as few games as possible.

It's unrealistic to expect because our GM is a moron, but if we were properly run, you can bet that we would be doing everything in our power to win that first pick next year.


That's exactly the point.

We need to blow this team up and get a top 3 pick in 2014! The team's performance for the next decade depends on it!!!

That's great, I'm assuming Wiggins' physicality is too much for Vonleh's skinny build to handle. Do a game recap for me at the end wiill ya, much appreciated.

I'm interested in the specifics of said firesale. I'm seriously curious, who are we giving away and for what back, and why does the other team accept the trade?

we should rip ourselves off like no tmrw as long as there is a first round pick coming back. That's a firesale

Keep Valanciunas, Davis, and Ross.

Trade anything else for as many 2014 picks as possible. Take back bad contracts if necessary.

Make sure Valanciunas, Davis, and Ross are surrounded by absolute garbage next season. Try to be as bad as possible.

Use the 2014 draft as a launching pad to greatness.

Profit.

This.

The only player we have - that is not named Jonas Valanciunas - who is worth a lottery pick is Kyle Lowry. And we already traded a lottery pick for him.

I could see a possible Sacto/Seattle trade for them to get competitive... Maybe they would give us their 2014 pick and a bad contract (Salmons) for Lowry and Ed Davis

Really though, we have nothing strong to offer outside of Valanciunas
