re: The Playoff Rosters, Team Building Philosophy, and the Future of the Pelicans

I don't think this is how roster building operates. You don't pass on talent to try to fit holes.

I never said a single word about "filling holes".

Yes, you do try to accumulate talent. You don't pass on a guy that is that much better than everyone else. I've said that many times on this board.

However, you do have to think about philosophy and how pieces "fit", especially in FA.

And in a weak draft like this, let's say you have Anthony Bennett and Trey Burke rated very closely...who you pick says a lot about the roster you are trying to build, does it not?

Also, I'm trying to take a more abstract approach with this thread:

Its less about players and more about the style of play you see this team going in the future.

If you want to talk about what will be available in the draft and FA, what we can get, and HOW THAT will shape the style of play, have at it.
