That concerns me. We definitely gave up a lot for Dončić. And while it's unlikely, we don't want to be so bad by 2023 that we give them the top pick overall in the NBA draft. That's a minute possibility.

We definitely want it to convey before 2021 (or is it 2022 now?) when its likely that the draft will be open to high school seniors again. That year, pick 20 may have almost the value of a top 10 in another year.
