That's probably my last obstacle from fully being on board with this pick. McNamara compares the Ginobli situation to stashing Saric, but we don't have the same luxury that they had at that time of being able to stash a player, we need help now. Other difference is, they were stashing a 2nd round player, we would be stashing a lottery pick.

Rubio and Valanciunas are better comparisons...but I don't think Saric has anywhere near the buyout that those guys had.

In fact: Val's was 2.4 million and Rubio's was 8 million (reduced all of the way down to 1.4 after staying in Europe for 2 years and much kvetching). And both of those guys were picked a spot higher.

Of course, Minnesota and Toronto sucked and still do.
