Let's not pretend that it's impossible to get stars with the 18th and 31st pick.
Also, we don't even need stars. We need solid starters with talent who can complement our superstar. A guy who can play D/rebound/hit an open shot is all we need and there are at least two dozen of those guys in the draft that are going to be contributors. It's not insane to believe that one of them will fall past 30.

The context of the discussion was trading the #31 pick, though. You also said this in an earlier post:
“People are super quick to want to trade picks for mediocre players like Frank, but are also super quick to trash Cuban for not going after someone like Giannis in the second round.“
Giannis was not a second rounder. He’s not relevant in a discussion about trading #31 for Frank.
