I'm not saying they should have made those picks in hindsight. I'm saying trading away those picks had the team miss out on the possibility of selecting those guys or using them to the advantage if someone else wanted them in our spot. We had opportunities to accumulate assets but didn't.

This is the whole Jrue argument.
Were those assets, MCW or Burke, and then Nurkic or Saric or McDermot better than Jrue? I dont' think so, even the miss 40 games every season Jrue is better. Had he been healthy the last 4 years it would have been a great trade.

The Asik trade would have netted us a nice SF, but that guy wouldn't have been a game changer. It would have at least allowed us to not overpay for Hill and Asik, but we likely would have overpaid for some other center in that offseason had we not gotten Asik in the trade.

those opportunities we had by trading away those 3 picks really weren't all that great, in highsight, but I agree with you that i'd like those opportunities, and I want more of them.
