everything is a crapshoot. draft, young vets, FA, whatever. there is no "right" way to build. it's skill and luck. i think the pels have been so-so with the former and severely lacking in the latter.
i do think what they did 4 years ago, given the context of their situation, was sub-optimal. doens't mean it was doomed to fail, just that i wouldn't have done it that way.
also- no way i would give up a mere top 5 protected pick for Vucevic. he's a fine player, but if you can't lottery protect the pick, you can't make the deal IMO.

I get what you're saying but you have to understand that if you don't make a move, have a piss poor season AGAIN, and have to wait on a rookie to develope, you lose on what is your ultimate goal: keep AD in Nola and happy.
Say you play the lotto again, draft a top 5 player like Jalen Brown for instance, you happy? No way. He's gotta have time to develope and you already have that with Heild.
You have to give up anything at this point and that should be ok if it's on a player that you don't miss on. I know that's hard to predict but don't make it a "hope-so" trade.
Vucevic is not a "hope-so" player. He's a frickin monster on the glass, can run the floor, can score and plays 30MPG. He'd space it for guys like Moore, Jrue and Hield...it's what u have to have.
If that trade is even close to being available, you MUST take it.
