I was using it as an example that things do move on. Anyone can be moved at any time.

I get the tear it down and totally tank to build the foundation. But IMO the foundation is set around Davis. There will be other players added over time, but he is the centerpiece. I don't want him playing on a team totally devoid of any talent or experienced players. And we don't need to keep going to the lottery to find compliments to him.

which it wouldn't get by winning more games and having its cap space still being taken up by Ariza and Okafor.

Someone on the team has to get paid. If you have a ton of young/cheap players, how are you going to reach the salary floor? You can get there with dead money or players that actually contribute.

Also, I'm glad the team won the lottery last year, but I don't want to be in it again. I want to be in the play offs, every year. If someone can actually prove to me that the more lottery picks you have, the better you are, then I'll change my mind. But I think it is a bad plan..
