Except when we did get AD on our team we were still drafting top 10 for multiple years.
Only once.
Maybe if we didn't do the Jrue trade we make it twice. The reality is that AD is just too good to stay bad for that long. All the examples people have given are of teams that have yet to draft anyone even half as good as AD.
I highly doubt Minny will be this bad next year or the year after that. With the way the west is right now, they could be and 8-10 seed next year.
Celtics aren't going to get any better through the draft unless they luck into a stud in the mid to upper teens.
Milwaukee has taken a step back this year, but they made the playoffs last year.
Acquiring talent is difficult in this league. Other than sheer luck, no "model" has proven consistently to pay off.

The Pelicans had AD and for two years finished with records which would have gotten them two top 10 picks.
2013 Pelicans pick = #6
2014 Pelicans pick = #10
Do you honestly think we can trade our way into a contender or get top tier free agents to come here? I don't mind the Jrue trade because those drafts were not great and he was an all star, but every move after that has been pretty terrible. We have been managed horribly. I think we need to get lucky in the draft to acquire a second star to AD.

They will have anywhere from $69-79 million in cap to spend. They could end up adding 3 Max guys AND Ben Simmons to their already playoff team. Their guard rotation is filthy, and cheap through 2017-18. By then the cap will have expanded enough for them to keep 1 of Avery or Isaiah easily.. I love what they are doing.
