re: Team age/Roster construction

I think Demps has done a good job of replacing the cheap depth you get out of the young draft picks with reclamation projects like Roberts/Babbitt/Cunningham/Ajinca. The problem with that strategy is there is no future in it. You don't have the long term contractual control so if they get good you can't keep them cheaply enough or trade them (see Brian Roberts). I'm not sure if we're done trading picks, we still need another starter, so I could see trading the pick for a 2 way starting SF, but short of that I think we're finally at the point where who we can draft may be more valuable than who we can trade the pick for.
