But without hindsight, wouldn’t you rather of us traded up to 5 to get Fox or Lauri at 7 instead of taking the last of the 2017 “top-9.” At the same time, this draft has feels of 2017 as I’m pretty sure at least 2 guys drafted in the 10-20 range will become all stars à la Mitchell and Bam. I don’t know, I’m just gonna trust Masai.
I wanted us to tank and get the #1 odds, when we were last in January. Then I wanted us to tank next year again and take Luka. Then I wanted us to trade the saved Reddish pick + Porzingis picks to acquire a star C and win ten championships with Brunson, Doncic, Tatum/Markkanen and X, but I´m sure Cuban will tell us more about how great he handled that whole culture stretch.
