What’s that you say? One huge trade piece (expiring deal for a competent small guard who can shoot), and an expendable combo guard? Oh, yes, we can make something happen.
David Kahn is my new Lord and Savior. Why? Because you don’t know what this guy is capable of. He could trade the 5 and 6 for Rubio, plunging his franchise into despair. He could keep both picks and build a young nucleus that would rival what Pritchard did. He could trade for an All-Star. He could trade for cap space. You don’t know. You think you know him? Did you know he wears wingtips? I bet you didn’t. You know why? He wasn’t wearing them until I just said that. He’s wily, that David Kahn.
The Wolves could start this starting 5 next year.
Tyreke Evans-Stephen Curry-Corey Brewer-Kevin Love-Al Jefferson.
Or, they could start this lineup next year.
Shaggy from Scooby Doo- Rodney Carney-Corey Brewer-Kevin Love-Al Jefferson.
This pick opens doors. That’s it. And that’s one of the best things you can do for the draft as a GM. Provide yourself more opportunities.
For the Wizards? “Stay the course” I guess. If you can just… get… healthy… you can win… with this nucleus!
In the process of trying to chant that, three Wizards were lost for the season.
Godspeed, you pre-draft traders.
