the issue is, we're small market and stars like to go to big markets. unless we overpay for superstars/stars, we don't get them. maybe we need to develop potentials instead or role players after developing GV, AD, and gordon.
you don't see lebron wanting to go to toronto, you don't see melo wanting to go to memphis, and I guarantee deron williams never wants to go back to Utah. Some examples, but you get the point.
I think we need to stop using OKC as the template and use San Antonio. one bad draft landed them duncan and since then it's been smooth sailing for the past decade. why?
pops took the time to develop players through his own picks or just free agents that came cheap.
1st round 28th pick - tony parker
2nd round 28th pick - manu ginobili
2nd round 7th pick - dejuan blair
2nd round 16th pick (by bulls) - matt bonner
1st round 28th pick - tiago splitter
the list can go on and on, but you get the point. take the SA route!

You left off 1st Round 1st Pick - Tim Duncan. We have our 1st overall now. The rest of what they had are low picks. They definitely weren't tanking at all after they got Duncan.

For the record, I'm not interested in tanking. Using the Spurs highly unlikely model of just developing mediocre players isn't the way of proving your point.
