I am actually a supporter of them. They are not perfect, but they accomplish a number of things. The "Rose Rule" helped, for instance.
It is some dues paying from the player perspective.
I get annoyed with the blind, over-the-top, reactionary love for them.

We should have traded our 1st(10) and 2nd(40), which ended up being Darius Miller, to move up to 8, and take a sliding Andre Drummond. The Raptors knew Detroit wouldn't take Ross, they were in no danger of missing out on him. Our Doc slurping idiots did the Rivers' a favor, and took Austin instead. I'll never forgive them for it. AD23 and AD0.... could have been the original Noel and Embiid! ALWAYS TAKE THE BIGS!!! damnit.
Rivers is awful, but who would the Pels have realistically drafted after AD that is worth a crap? Dell wasn't going to take another PF. 2012 draft was terrible.

I sort of get annoyed with this. Discussion of this topic here, BSS, TBW always devolves to this straw man. I'm sure you encounter plenty of folks who act this way. I'm not sure why you entertain anyone who spouts off in that manner.
No one in this thread is professing blind, over-the-top, reactionary love for picks/rookie salaries. They are a common, often effective, way to squeeze the most out of limited cap resources. They are not the only way to do that and they aren't foolproof.
You like what Demps has done. I'm a bit more leery. Tomato tomahto. I can be wary and still recognize the roster has improved a great deal on his watch and that his moves have led to more on court success. Things are much more gray than we often like to pretend.
