No disagreement that the office has made some god awful terrible draft moves and basically punted away the last decade after the championship to chase stars. But I'd like to think hopefully it's in the past. I don't even know how much they really cared about who they drafted then, their goal was to chase stars not draft some guy named Giannis. (their logic at the time) So it was flawed from the outset.

But you're trying to compare when we had no stars other than Dirk past his prime to now we have two. It's not the same situation at all. Unless they're clueless they have to see what's happening on the floor we need defensive help. You draft some point guard who can score but can't play defense how will that really help us?

I was somewhat being sarcastic about every draft pick being a SF but I'm not drafting a point guard unless he can play off the ball and defend. I don't think we're going to be in many situations to get great players anyway we're either going to be too good or have to give up our 1st rounders to the Knicks in the coming years.
