We didn't have either of our 2014 2nd round picks because of the Tyson Chandler trade with the Knicks
And the two guys we took in 2015 and 2013 with our 1st round picks we traded less than 2 full seasons into their career.
What's worse is if you look at who was taken after Justin Anderson in 2015, and with the 21st pick in 2014 that we traded to the Lakers in the Odom deal, for the next 10-15 picks literally every other player drafted has turned into either a starter or meaningful role player.
Here's a franchise that doesn't value draft picks and doesn't know how to find value when it does keep its picks.
