They have picks coming out of the wazoo and a bunch of cheap young talent. Why have overpaid role players when you have guys who can fill a similar role at a much cheaper rate on a rookie deal? If you have them languishing on the bench, barely playing, then you are losing the benefit of having all these picks.
It's time to move Isiah, Dort, the bald eagle and these super subs and some picks for a frontline piece. They already have the internal depth with guys like Wallace. McCain. Get salary under control and get another impact guy. Presti is great but he needs to be aggressive this offseason for frontline guys and start to consolidate these pieces; otherwise it is going to be a repeat of Ainge.
Yeah, the "3 aging max-paid stars and no depth" model worked so great for you in Philly, or say for the Clippers, that others absolutely should try to copy it. When your "frontline pieces" become front row spectators, or just fail to fit together, there is very little you can do to fix it. OKC has plenty of pieces to shuffle around, and they don't need a revolution, fine tuning is enough to keep them up there as a contender with real chance. That is really the best you can do in the current system, dominating dynasties are a thing of the past. And I say that as a Spurs fan.
They have picks and young talent. What is the point in having players like Wallace on a rookie deal if they barely play and are blocked by guys maybe 10 percent better making 15-20M? It's just poor asset management.
