At what point...

And who's problem is that? And more importantly, who's problem is it for drafting a high school kid with no college experience?

Are you saying we should never draft for the future but only those who can provide immediate contributions?

So much talent you would never draft.

Get KLove and Gallo! We don't play defense anyway.

Get them both?

Please, explain how they can get both.

I think the concept would be that you trade Whiteside and picks for one and CJ and filler for the other. I don't think you can get both without trading Whiteside and CJ.

That just screams mediocrity.

Easy!

And so much deadbeat we can avoid. Unless you think Meyers Leonard, Biggie, Patty C, and Jake Layman (who I like, by the way) were difference makers with their talent....?

I think Pat and Jake were pretty good draft picks. Considering where we drafted them, they helped us.

Not that I agree with trading for both or even 1 necessarily, judging by this early start, we are already mediocrity. Theres no chance we get a top pick with Dame leading the charge and at this point no where close to a playoff team without Nurk.

Not as much as they're helping their current teams. Basically we're a G-League-style development team for the Bucks and the Wolves.

Fuck it man. I say tank for the lottery. Trade Hassan for a piece. Give Ant and Little minutes. The likelihood of all our guys coming back and us turning it around and making anything in the playoffs is very very slim. Get some more talent around Dame and make a go next year.

I started thinking along these lines about 10 days ago. But you can't really tank with Lillard on the team; he just won't allow it. But I would allow Simons and Little to play 35 minutes a game; if that cuts into CJ's and Lillard's minutes, so be it. I would try to figure out how to make Whiteside look better so he will have some trade value before the deadline. Try to get a draft pick for him that can be included in a later trade that includes CJ. With all the new faces and trading, hopefully we could get a pick around #10.

It isn't anyone's problem. Just common sense. One guy was more polished as a rookie. Doesn't mean the other guy won't get there.

@Jade Falcon You're going way too overboard on this, in my opinion. None of those guys were top-10 picks.

In drafts you should almost always take who will be the best player no matter what the position unless two players are rated pretty closely.
