The trade I was responding to gave us the Lakers pick in 2021. So, basically, two seasons from now, we'll get LA's pick. Which, with Lebron, AD, and very possibly another star drawn by the addition of AD, will be like the 25th pick.
Kyrie isn't going to NY. Kemba isn't going to NY. If KD does go to NY, he won't play the entire year. The odds of a wild-card name like Kawhi joining AD in New York are extremely low, so while it is a gamble, it's a relatively safe gamble to assume that AD in New York next year still produces a very bad team. So getting the NY 2020 pick could very easily be top 5, again.
You can assume whatever you like. I have absolutely no regard for your opinion on anything, given your consistent inability to provide anything other than garbage tier analysis of disingenuous interpretations of other positions.
Please show me where I said I'd draft RJ in that spot, with that pick, in that post? The value is in the ability to choose, and I've said multiple times of the last few weeks that I'm wavering on whether I'd pick RJ or Culver at that spot: specifically because Culver has shown the greater potential, and superior flashes of shooting from distance.
Please do, I think you've embarrassed yourself enough.
