It's not like they couldn't have bought another pick to grab Kostas if they really thought that they could use him to woo Giannis.
I don't think anyone is saying Shake is a franchise changer; but a pattern of missing out on usable pieces for some long term home run that never hits prevents you from ever building any depth and/or having assets that can help you actually hit one of those fabled home runs.
The Porzingis home run was made possible because of having a young asset (at the time an asset) in DSJ.
Hopefully they won't punt on the draft this year as well and can use pick 17-20 and pic 31 to add pieces that can grow around Luka and KP.
