So let's see if i got this right, a certain GM had already Aminu, Vonleh, Leonard, Davis and Nurkic on the roster and drafted Swanigan and Collins knowing he would unload Crabbe's contract. He passed on Donovan Mitchell and Malik Monk and now he has ony Patty Fastball as a backup guard. I mean, HOW!?!?!?!!? and i thought drafting was his only strenght as a GM...
Well I think we all knew Collins is more of a longterm prospect. He has an intriguing skillset and in two years from now we might be talking about a steal. Of course it can go the wrong way too, but we cannot judge Olshey right now. We all know Collins needs more time and the frontcourt is really crowded right now. After all Olshey traded his way up there, he didn't have the number 10 pick to begin with.
Look, i'm not as high as you on Lillard, but if you think so go great of him do you realize that you're wasting his prime years waiting on a project like Collins? For a project like Embiid it could be worth it, but for Collins, REALLY!?!? Two years from now Lillard will be nearly 30...
You don't waste prime years on a guy who you (in your opinion, which doesn't hold a candle, same as my opinion) don't think is a superstar. Because their prime years don't mean much. I say I say, so confusing are peoples' arguments.
One thing drafted Leonard and basically he has drafted players except Dame that is project to help us 2-3 years out.
This assumes you know NOs plan. Maybe he intends on making a trade for a 3 mid season, or wants to target someone in the offseason. In which case you draft for the long term, you don't draft someone who will be out of the rotation when you make your move.
Give me a reason why a team should trade us a star in exchange for Zach Collins who hasn't even cracked our rotation. A Donovan Mitchell or Molik Monk would have been more attractive in every trade scenario and also would have been more useful to our team.
