A couple of points... Rookie contracts pretty much tie a player in for five
years now, so you have more time with these projects. Also, if Portland and
Toronto didn't know what they had, that's their problem. Any basketball
"expert" who couldn't see that Tracy McGrady was about to explode should
lose his job. If the picks can land us a Bibby or someone like that-an
established potential all-star who will mature with the team, then great.
But if it's Terrell Brandon, who is aging, injury prone and
expensive-although admittedly talented-I'll take my chances with the picks.
It's a talent league, and you don't pass up a McGrady or Kobe Bryant because
they won't help "next year."

    We have three picks. I wan't next years team to have a bona fide
all-star, ready to play. We can trade one or two picks for him and still
keep one pick to land a project.
    With Moiso already on board why do we need two or three rookies?
    You are kidding yourselves to think they will help us within two or
three years.
    What if we had drafted McGrady and Jermaine O'neil with top ten picks?
Three unproductive years and they became someone else's prize. Even after
three years Toronto and Portland weren't sure what they had.
