this is why you have to convert Sexton into a starting quality SF, and to be honest one with all star potential. the cavs have been somewhat limited by their draft position. TBH, with the higher pick, I think they've done pretty well. None of the guys they've taken have been absolute busts.
The problem is no one is trading a wing to make themselves a smaller team with Sexton. We won't get close to an equally productive player back because wings are so overvalued in today's NBA. It's why we needed to take shots with those future 2nd rounders. Someone like BJ Boston had the measurable of a good wing and was a top tier prospect before this year.
If we don't use quality picks on wings then you got to push more avenues to get them. It becomes a game of quantity over quality so we can sort through to find diamonds in the rough. This team stockpiling bigs and having them take up roster spots doesn't build us the value and is an opportunity cost to finding the positions we actually need.
