The first NBA fab five

No matter what we do, we are not going to be a contender for the next couple of seasons. We need to build good will and a nice rep around the league. But most of all, we need a gimmick. Imagine a team for the first time in NBA history not just drafting 5 players in the 1st round in the same draft. But 5 players in the top ten, then all 5 of those guys starting the whole season as rookies.
For this, we have to trade both Davis and Holiday. Davis to the Lakers for a combination of picks and players (that we flip), that wind up being the 4th and 7th picks (plus future picks). Then we package Holiday to the Hawks for the 8th and 10th selections. We end up with the following..
1- Zion
4- Hunter
7- White
8- Hayes
10- Herro
We would rule draft night and be the top league pass team. We would have tons of space to take on crap contracts and keep building up the warchest. Fans would latch on to the younger players, then grow with them. We will be epically bad and in the lottery next year, plus a couple will probably bust. But that is a fun team to root for and might surprise down the road..

Boy the idiots are out in full force. Why the frick would any team do something like that?
Also, it would be dumb as hell to let Jrue go under any circumstance.

I am sure Griffin is trying to think of a gimmick.

No team will ever do that
Even the hinkie Sixers at their height didn't
And in this draft in particular you dont want that many due to stronger drafts in 2020/21 and a possible double draft in 22

Gentry already failed with this model & the clippers

Ohhh. That’s not a good idea. And herro top ten? Nahhhh

Wow. We've reached peak brmark. It's something to behold.

Davis is not getting traded to the Lakers no matter how many times people say it.

So look, appreciate the effort.
There’s a few reasons why no sane GM would ever do this.
You absolutely never want this many draft picks in the same class. Why?
First, draft classes vary greatly year to year. Second, no matter the year, no matter how good the scouting, a huge percentage of lottery picks and picks in general are going to be bums. Flat out bums. Third, the second you use a pick on a player, that player has far less value than the pick you used on him did.
Next you have to think of roster construction and development. This would be an absolute nightmare for a coaching staff and stunt the development of all of them. They would get absolutely crushed on a nightly basis.
What you want is pick assets from other teams spread out over multiple drafts. That way you can weather the shifting sands of draft depth, cherry pick players you are truly interested in, have players developing at different times, AND have the assets to make trades for veterans that are already good.
This approach would never work. You need a mix of player experience in order to be successful.

This is not the NFL, you don't want more than 2-3 rookies at any given time on a NBA team, you will SEVERELY stunt their growth to the point where they are just busts

It’s like some of you didn’t follow anything Pels related until this week.
Posted on 5/17/19 at 9:01 am to brmark70816
Do you not understand how difficult it would be to develop so many rookies at one time? Especially if you trade away a proven, respected, hard working veteran in Jrue who happens to also be the leader of the franchise?
Holy shite.
Holy shite.
