not sure what you're trying to say-
Demps is foolish for ignoring the draft, but high draft picks aren't that great b/c two highly thought of rookies pegged as long term projects look like...long term projects 3 months into their careers?
from what i've seen (admittedly not a ton) of either guy this season, i'd be ecstatic if the Pels had Ingram or Brown, warts and all

I shouldn't be posting on my phone, lol.
The draft is a big crapshoot, but picking late doesn't deny you the opportunity of finding a gem or quality player, trading it does though. If you find a quality player, you get them for cheap for 4-5 years and typically it will fill a need on your team (SF - Dekker for example). It also wouldn't have limited us financially to spend $$ on a second need (C - Asik when he's a free agent). I mean bird rule and such, but I believe we had space to sign him with a little wiggle room (letting Ajinca walk, etc).
By trading away picks, we lose the rookie scale (Dekker) to guarantee one position is shored (Asik), but the worst part is, we invested money for a SF who wasn't even a complete player...he was literally as much of a project signing as a draft pick. Except we pay him 3-4 times as much as a rookie...
