If the bar for making trades was the likelihood of the picked player being better, no established players would ever get traded for a pick. That's not how it works. I've seen people using this "logic" a lot recently.
If you are veteran team ready to win now, you trade future picks for role players.
If you are a rebuilding team with only one dude, you dont trade future picks for role players.
