With that said, we can't have a situation where we draft a player and then bury him the way we did with Bamba. I wonder what we'll do if we're fortunate enough to grab Suggs. There is not enough playing time for Fultz, Suggs, Cole, RJ, Harris, and Ross. And that's not even bringing up MCW who is under contract next year.
Completely agree and I strongly believe it's on the front office to take the decision making process on which young guys to play and which ones to not play out of the coaching staffs hands by balancing the roster with trades.
I doubt anyone would take Gary Harris at his salary and production levels, but he's expiring in a year so it's all good. Same with MCW. They'll both be gone in a year anyway, so I'm not terribly concerned with them blocking anyone.
Terrence Ross should absolutely be traded this summer. James Ennis should not return. Otto Porter should not return.
One of the worst things that happens in the NBA, and you see it all the time, is teams in the lotto incorrectly assuming they're "good" at a certain position because they just drafted another player a year or two earlier at the same position.
Far too often teams, especially ones who are making their 2nd or 3rd or 4th consecutive lottery pick, decide which players to pick in a given year based on the players they already have which is a big time no-no unless the player you already have is already an all-star caliber talent.
