I don't believe I'm thinking only one move ahead. But I don't buy the "unless he is one of the final pieces" stuff that seems to be said around here quite a bit. Seems like folks are taking team building strategies from some of the GM's that are starting from scratch and applying those strategies indiscriminately.
A 20 pt scorer isn't helpful if the other team outscores you every time your 20 pt scorer is on the floor. I think teams are realizing that more and more. I don't think the "20 pt scorer" who isn't a two-way player holds the same value that he used to. I think the fact that LM is still on the market, not getting what he wants, attests to that.
And if you want to take on a project of letting a lesser impactful player build up his value by scoring so that we can increase his trade value...well, we already have one of those in KP. Not sure you want big minutes going to two value rehab projects at once, both of which have potential defensive issues.

Looks to me like he was speaking the truth. Both KLs and Dragic are all playmakers.
