Past unluckiness has no impact on the odds. They remain the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Rozier is better. But even if he is marginally worse we should go down that avenue rather than waste an asset as you're proposing. If we offered Dallas our unprotected first for DSJ right this second, the deal would be done. Generally a trade is bad for us if the opposing team would take it instantaneously without asking any questions. Ask yourself if you think Dennis Smith Jr. is worth the #1 pick. Once you've come to the reality that he isn't, you'll see that trading a pick that could become that, EVEN IF UNLIKELY, would be a hysterically misguided and disastrous thing to do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I know is that all of our players look a thousand times better when DJ is having a great game ala Lakers game earlier this season. I would be willing to trade 1 chance at a top 3 pick this year to get a young permanent starter at the PG position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The longer this goes on the better chance we have of making a great deal for ourselves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
