There is no way they roll with Hardy, Green and Ntilikina as their 3rd to 5th guard in the rotation. You either get ready for a lot of The Cheerleader or their Plans K-Z are held up by the sh*tshow that Durant/Irving have created.
If they ARE thinking that way, they’re fools. Even if they get lucky and it works. Draft the kid. Develop the kid. Play him when you can. But, give yourself the “flexibility” of not being forced to depend on him.
If you’ve caught lightning in a bottle with the 37th pick, you’ll have what we call “a good problem.”
