We have a war chest of future firsts. Either we go hard to get Scoot or cash them in for a superstar like Dame. I don’t think we’ll do either but my question becomes whats the freaking point of gathering all those firsts if you aren’t aggressively going after a star like Dame or trying hard to get Scoot. Those firsts will eventually rot and next years draft is pretty bad. I judt don’t understand Griff’s mentality here to be status quo.

It's a fine line between being a genius and a tard. Ainge played Utah beautifully. But he totally botched Boston's war chest, waiting for the perfect move.
He also tried to trade a chunk of it for Justice Winslow.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky.
I think Griff is waiting for a desperate team.

They rot if you make the pick tonight and then don’t find that player playing time. They continue to exist if you trade them for a future pick that remains an asset. And I’m ok with not going all in “yet”, when our best player is 22 and hasn’t been healthy for the playoffs.

Not really.
There are at least 5 teams I can think of off the top of my head that have far more picks than us over the next several years.
