No question. Trading for role players is the last thing this team needs to do. We need to find a way to add that talent better than Redd/Bogut. If we can do that with the #7 pick and other pieces, so be it, otherwise you use it in the draft and see what you can get there.
For a non-contending team that is still a couple years away at least from contending, nothing would be a worse idea than trading a lottery pick for a role player. Nothing.
I don't want a role player either. Boston traded their lottery pick plus a couple players last year for Ray Allen. Don't you think we could get a player like Baron Davis/Antwan Jamison/Elton Brand for our lottery pick with other players involved?
