We won in our gamble with AD, the key is to put people around him. OKC got lucky with 4 1st round picks: Durant, Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka.

They had their run and lost Harden. We need to keep a few vets and build around AD.

People are completely overstating the amount of risk in some of these prospects. Is there risk in everything regarding sports? Absolutely.

However, elite level prospects in the NBA are as close to a sure thing as any sport if not moreso. Guys like Melo, Lebron, Howard, Durant, Davis, Jordan, Ewing, Rose etc aren't really risks or gambles.

Do you know if you're getting a HOFer? No, but you're going to get a very VERY good player for many years barring injury. By all intent and purposes, this upcoming draft has a handful of those guys.
