Trading first round picks to do what? Potentially win a round in the playoffs? Idk that type of thinking seems super short sighted for Masai who has always been about patience.
Secondly, if we do make a trade I.e. Dragic’s contract, I don’t think we need a C. It should be for a perimeter player that can handle the ball a little and shoot, ideally defend well too.
Anyways on a macro level, let Barnes develop, OG develop, Trent develop, add a FRP in the 20s, use the MLE on depth and see where we stand next season.
Have you not been watching this team! This team can go against any team in this league and have a strong chance of beating them in a series. When you have a team like that you need to forget about draft picks. Teams like OKC, Kings, Cavs, Detroit, Wolves, Portland, Pacers etc can keep playing the draft game. We are not those teams anymore we have learned what it takes to win in this league. Hoping to draft the next superstar at 14 or 15th draft slot is what causes teams to consistently never build a contender and have to break it up.
3 of our starters are champions and you dont support them over the next two years with just draft capital!
