"but there is no realistic path to that anyways"

There is though. Its called the draft. Look at the thunder, spurs, warriors, now the wolves. Its ALL about the draft, especially if you are a small market team and will never be able to lure in a superstar FA, like US. Would you rather be mediocre or worse for the next 15 years or would you rather be really bad for the next 4 years (sixers, wolves) and build the right way in order for long term success?

2 of those have won ships, one is backsliding, and one has proven nothing. The Spurs are not a realistic model and the Warriors were lucky as much as smart.

The draft is a crapshoot. As "easily" as you can build your team through the draft and have success you can have failure. JMO

wolves


Wolves got a shot in the arm by trading their superstar for 2 first overall picks (Bennet lol)

We'll see what Dunn turns into, and Lavine still needs a lot of development, but the Wolves have only hit big once (so far) in their recent drafts.

Would have been nice if the Pels could have traded CP3 for Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson.

Exactly. I'm tired of giving up picks look where it got us now. The last 2 times we traded picks for players it failed, why try again? There's also guys in this draft that are high effort, athletic rebounding/defending bigs that we can get middle/late first round. It's time for the FO to realize we aren't competing with anyone, it's time to rebuild
