Chalmers found himself in a good situation. Chalmers drafted to the Kings would be fighting for his career.
The Spurs and the Heat have had plenty of 2nd rounders that didn't stick or were traded.
I we are going to commend these teams for their commitment for looking for late round talent, why not give the Knicks credit in its current regime for looking for gems overseas or undrafted players that can contribute.
There are many ways to skin a cat. Picking up cheap players in free agency and trade is more reliable successful way to get contributing players than hoping for 2nd picks to stick.
You kinda lost me with this.
The Spurs are where they are because they value all their assets, they have decades of history in such.
Miami is an expansion team and has more rings than the "storied" franchise and they have done it through solid trades, free agency and the draft, and if you're gonna lose...lose hard.
We had a 100 page draft thread....why? because we know the team needs help and the draft is one method of such.
I know this thread is severely OT at this point, and maybe thats good as it takes away from the topic which most dont approve of.
Like I had said previously it's been a while for a trade that most dont like at all.
But at the end of the day think about what your arguing now. We were terrible for years because of poor management. We have been digging ourselves out of holes for years.
When we get ahead of the 8 ball we take a step back in some capacity.
With this current team it's downfall has been the contract of Amare and his health. It forces your hand to go all in or sit back without any improvement or drastic measure blow it up. We have to give up these picks because we have a man making 20 million dollars that can't contribute.
Should we have use our amnesty on Amare instead of Billups yeah probably, but it's all hindsight.
If Bargs plays to his potential those picks will look like cupcakes. We have to take risk with our position.
Right now you're going with Bryan Colangelo logic.
For 7 years, Toronto has tried to get Bargs to play to his potential, and he's only gotten worse.
Anyway, I'm done arguing for today. All I'm saying is that, you guys need to actually watch Bargs in real games and not in highlights, or talk to Raptors fans who have. He's not that good, and this potential is a load of BS that Bryan Colangelo lost his job because of.
