Its said that two of those picks were in place instead of adding Jayden McDaniels. I'd find that believable. His ceiling is sky high. That being said the longer i think about it the more i'm ok with it. As much as I hate KAT, he is entering his prime. You have Black Jesus a few years away from entering his in Edwards. Gobert is still only 30 years old. You don't add some pieces you'll end up wasting it away like the blazers have done with Lillard. And i'm a big Dame fan. I get it. I'd still love to entertain the thought of trading KAT although that won't happen until a blow up. The NBA is a broken system. Players love to play in warm climates, income tax free states, or big time stages like NY or LA. You gotta go all in the rest of the area because your window is short. No free agency, players dictating where they get traded, refusal to play or even disruptive play.
Broken system.
