Yesterday afternoon I was ready to go all in with the rest of our remaining picks. This team clearly has a ton of holes: big PF/wing, rim protector, backup creator, more shooting, more wing defense, etc.
Although, the more I think about it, it may be best to take a step back. Trades right now are such a premium for the good, not great players on the market. Even teams like the Nets with extra picks are looking for upgrades. Dallas is at such a disadvantage right now in trade talks. The players they can get are more complimentary players. Do you really want to use our remaining first for those?
So unless there is a player I really like, lets stick to the player for player swaps. Even those are challenging with this roster. It may suck because this season may continue to be a slog with the current roster, but it may be best to wait until the offseason where you are not paying such high prices for good, not great players.
