Those who are underwhelmed with the likely return for Aldridge and/or DeRozan, are missing one thing: While a lottery protected 1st or prospect of commensurate value might not sound great on it's own, this team is on track for a top 10 pick. Add one or both of those to that and they can probably get to top 5ish (if they're not already there on their own volition).
Since this team already has depth of youth but lacks elite young talent, that should be the goal. Consolidating, if need be, to secure one good - very good prospect, instead of multiple decent ones to add to their stockpile.
