Do we have 0 picks for 2015 also?

We have one if we're one the 3 worst or 10 best teams in the league

What I find so hypocritical: When teams put future 1st rounders in trade, they are desperate. Recent 1st rounders and nobody says a word. Shane Larkin was a 1st round pick in '13 and Dallas gave him up to get Tyson for a year. Nobody says a word. Hawks use Noguiera to dump Lou Williams and again, nobody will criticize it. Picks are magical, but once they become actual players, they are fine to trade.

People just get excited at the potential of the draft. But I don't have a problem with the current strategy of trading cap space and picks to shift the rebuild window forward.

Those upset that we gave up 2 picks for Holiday, they're looking at it wrong. 3 years worth of picks and cap space have given the team 4 B level players to put around Anthony Davis. You have to look at the big picture over a reasonable time frame. Was the Gordon resigning a mistake? Yes, but the team is a good SF signing/trade away from righting that mistake and having a balanced and potent roster.

The team is fine. Are they locked into the current build strategy? Yes, but so is every other good team. The only good teams with flexibility are the ones that are coming out of an intentional contract cycle that would let them blow things up a la Miami. And they still only have as much flexibility as their star players allow them to have.
