Brother most of us do, which is why the Salaun pick was a shot of reality, I thought we would try to win this season
No one we could have conceivably drafted, other than Sheppard maybe, would have helped us this season.
If we want immediate help it needs to come via trade or free agency.
I'm with you guys though, I'm beyond tired of losing.

He would give us a bigger body defender who can shoot at the 2, allowing Mann to come off the bench as a 6th man.
Toronto just drafted Jakobe Walter who is a natural replacement, along with them giving out a huge bag to Quickley

Trent soured on me a little last year as he started sacrificing his defense attempting to score more. Their coach asked him to become the defensive threat he was but it never worked
The Nuggets are also engaged in trade scenarios for backup big man Zeke Nnaji, sources said. Denver had given the 23-year-old out of Arizona an opportunity to claim a clear-cut reserve role behind Nikola Jokić, but traded up in Wednesday’s NBA Draft to select a foreseeable replacement in Dayton center DaRon Holmes II. Nnaji’s $8 million salary could be an outgoing package, for example, to bring back Serbian point guard Vasilije Micić from Charlotte, who’s been a target for Denver, sources said.
