re: NBADraft.net's newest mock: Trey Burke to Pelicans

3-4 years is enough time for any competent GM/Coach to put a team together especially a ball club without any real bad contracts. Most coaches who start a rebuild never make it through the rebuilding process. They are generally just used as transition coaches and a stepping stone for another coach.

I don't think Phoenix is thinking so far into the future that they are just going to toss away their most talented player right off the bat. PG is one of the few positions where you can easily play at a high level until 34-35. Besides, Dragic was a late bloomer and he doesn't have a lot of tread in his tires. His career is just beginning. Hell, Nash didn't come to Phoenix until he was 31? PGs who has the type of fundamentals that Dragic isn't likely to decline in their early 30s.
