Sure, he might push us to the playoffs, but the cost of long-term development was likely too much in a scenario where Thomas was looking to prove himself. I am not a very big fan of our point guard scenario right now, but as has already been said, we can address this in another season when we’re actually looking to compete for a legitimate shot at an eastern conference title. I’m still of the opinion I want Jameer Nelson to finish his career in an Orlando Magic uniform. Would love him as a veteran presence and third PG perhaps next year. Kicking the can down the road...We need to stop doing that. 2 Quote

Last time we decided to abort the long-term approach, we traded Victor Oladipo and a first round pick for Serge Ibaka because we wanted to go "win now" mode. How did that work out for us? Quote

Considering next years is very weak, probably good timing to be done with it. LOL yes, lets team build with 66% of the opportunities to do so as a max. thats a great idea ! thats the way to stop being a bottom feeder team, worked great for the Nets Quote

But you're still giving up an asset that can be better used to bring in another guy in addition to kemba. There's an opportunity cost to everything and you're building with a desperate mind. 1 Quote

Gotta be able to make good trades too. Draft, FA signings, and trades, all are utilized in building. Quote

I'm building with the mind that we've been riding this train beyond than we should. We got a nice core in AG/Isaac/Bamba. If a draft pick which with good health, probably will be lower lottery if anything, has to be added, do it. Our goal with this young core with AG who's been here for a while shouldnt be about the next draft but how to play winning basketball. 1 2 Quote
