Been pushing this for a while, so I 100% agree with you Tiger

I know people love this draft, but this franchise is not taking some 19 year old anyway. They are either gonna find another vet to trade the pick for or draft an upperclassman that goes off this year who won't be better than Vuc for 3-5 more years anyway

Reke and Ajinca, with a top 5 protected pick for Vuc and I am a happy man. Then, go sign and develop a Quincy Ford type, get Jrue back and be a team that can win 50 games next year. Will they ever win a title? Probably not, but there is no realistic path to that anyway

"but there is no realistic path to that anyways"

There is though. Its called the draft. Look at the thunder, spurs, warriors, now the wolves. Its ALL about the draft, especially if you are a small market team and will never be able to lure in a superstar FA, like US. Would you rather be mediocre or worse for the next 15 years or would you rather be really bad for the next 4 years (sixers, wolves) and build the right way in order for long term success?

Not sure I agree. At some point, maybe a competent mind (Ferry) can convince management that we need to build a team rather than continue to trade picks for hole pluggers. This team is in shambles as a result of the mindset that draft choices are useless.
