Was this nightmare season worth it for Buddy?

Imagine an alternate universe in which the Pels were basically who we thought they would be prior to last season. They get the 6th or 7th seed and have a hard fought 1st round series they lose and end up with the 19th pick.

Now, come back to this universe. Was it worth it to get Buddy Hield?

Sure.

I always thought our ceiling was the second round anyways. This gives us a solid prospect with a solid ceiling on a rookie contract. Long term Im completely ok with it.

Then again I am probably in a really small minority that wouldn't be upset if we were in the mid lottery for next year in the much better, deeper draft. Then tried to strike in the better FA market next season. This team is still at least couple key pieces away from growing into a contender.

If it got Gentry and Demps canned + Buddy, then yes.

But for just one role player? No, no it was not

lol. No.

Should have had the nightmare season the year before and ended up w/ Winslow or Mudiay or Johnson or Turner or Lyles or Booker.

Then again, they traded that pick for Asik, so I guess they picked the right year after all.

Who the frick knows he hasnt played. If we stayed on track and got the 5th-4th seed we would have been in serious contention for KD.
