You knew that, but decided to turn it into something it isn’t. Already having Luka is the biggest point of the discussion. The fact that none of you would even consider it is ludicrous in my mind, especially after what you think the return would actually be.
You guys are making it seem like it’s a matter of create the team you want on paper, then just go out and make it happen all while adding picks. How does that not get us out of the hole we dug ourselves into? All that for 1 player, and none of you have a second thought about it? A guy that hasn’t played a second in the NBA? Not 1, well, you have a point?
But that’s why our scouting staff would analyze each and every game he ever played. If you’re convinced he can be a generational player like Kareem you take him and run with it. Because having Kareem and Luka gives you a very good chance of becoming a dynasty with multiple titles in the next 10 years.
If he isn’t way ahead of the other top prospects in the draft or in the last couple of drafts you have to weigh your options - is becoming a very good team with a realistic chance to win one or maybe two titles the best case scenario? Then trade him if the haul is massive enough - and pray that you ranked him correctly and the other team giving up the farm for him was wrong.
