Don't fret. We have the ability to trade some role players for different role players in June. With those three picks, those 10th and 11th guys could easily be upgraded to 8th and 9th guys. Hell, it's all good. We won't suck or be real contenders. Just average, and that got me into a decent college
I do think we trade 2 of our picks for 1 slightly better one. I don't think we are picking 3 players for our-self unless one is a Euro-stash.
Will win the lottery and then trade our other two plus Leonard for the second overall pick. Than you all will be happy.
It would take trading that #1 pick in a package with Leonard just to dump Leonard. And that might not even be a bad deal.
Will Boston keep Brooklyn's pick? If they get beat up in yhe playoffs will they want another rookie going into next year?
I am done with mediocrity, pun not intended. Take some fucking chances. Go for a star or go for a complete rebuild. We haven't had a real chance at winning a title in 17 years, or whatever. Same bullshit excuses, same bullshit fan fodder. What their doing isn't working, so do something else. I'm miserable because I'm passionate about my beloved team. Sugar coating and rainbows don't work with me like some fans. I demand better. This fucking feel good, kumbaya bullshit isn't getting it done for me. Participation trophies are for losers and millennials, which aren't too diffetent
I'd be okay with sending Crabbe to Philly for Richaun Holmes, their 2nd rounder, and rights to Furkan Korkmaz on draft day.
We won't trade out 1st but the other 2 will be in play to move up in the teens or a trade with a team that trying to get in the draft due to no draft choices.
IMO we should be re-assesing the window of opportunity that is centered around Dame & CJ, with regard to their ages. Our team, outside of Nurkic, are limited, one-way players. The defensive short comings of our marquee players will ensure a steep (!) road of progress towards playoffs success. By the time we accrue enough assets to complement McLillard (ie compensate for), both of those guys will be in their thirties. Should we decide on a different direction, we could be the major player in this upcoming draft - a chance to rebuild the roster with more well rounded (and more talented) players. Dame & CJ would net us multiple high picks and a chance for a new rebuild centered around Nurkic (at only 22 years old). It only takes one good draft (aka Roy/Aldridge draft) to really re-tool the roster and set it on the right course. This upcoming, strong & deep draft is the perfect opportunity to do so - to complement Nurkic to form a new youth core.
