It’s such bullsh*t and spin doctoring at its absolute best.
It’s driving me nuts.

True, they traded 4 lottery picks and one future lottery pick to assemble their team. The future pick ended up being Steven Adams who was sent to OKC as part of the Harden trade (TOR used that to acquire Lowry). They also traded Ross to get Ibaka, Valanciunas to get Gasol, and DeDozan + Poeltl to get Kawhi.
The lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't be so attached to the players you draft that you're unwilling to move them for guys that will improve the team.
