I really like this/these ideas. I’m just so happy that the 10 spot became a reality. My heart was pounding when the 11 spot was called. I got hopeful for a few seconds and then relieved with the opportunity that had become a reality. Our draft talk became real. The Tank became successful though expensive. Now the summer must become successful.
I agree keeping a cost controlled draft pick is wise for any pick that becomes over a short time our 3rd to 6th best player. I also like a cost controlled MLE addition with some cost savings on Kylie and Powell to make it happen.
I like using many of our current players in a hopeful way. If they don’t start in the playoffs they become decent to good 6-9 level depth. I like keeping 25 and 27 for a future starter level package.
This also doesn’t involve hating or blaming current players or coaches. Instead we add less expensive help and reduce some current roles to a much more success inducing level and increase the roles of current quality young guys we already have.
LA showed last night that NBA success now involves having at least 3 big guys that can defend guys like Davis or LeBron etc. Adding 2 big guys who give us 4-5 big guy options is increasingly going to be required.
