I agree about Nance but I think the team will trade Cedi before Prince. This team should have traded Nance because teams were offering multiple first round picks for him. I don't understand, this organization wants to keep a guy that can't shoot.




Right,because Sexton, Garland and Okoro didn't work out....
Hopefully we can find a trade for Nance on draft night

Because they drafted a smurf backcourt (not that they didn’t work but that it was practical), a role player with the 5th pick in the draft, not replacing an incompetent scouting department, trading for a dinosaur in Dre, signing Love to a huge extension, and last but certainly not least......continuing to push this team to win meaningless games when every other lottery team is tanking by sitting key players.
 
Those are some pretty absolute statements.

Do you think draft strategy for a rebuilding team should focus primarily on talent acquisition, eg draft best player available?

I don't think this organization has the balls to trade him because they want to keep the hometown player on the team.

They thought Drummond would work out just like any other player. It happens all the time. I don't understand, why people are upset with it when they gave up Henson,Knight and a second round pick for him. You make it sound like we gave up KPJ, Sexton,Garland and a first round pick for him.

Even,if Koby was the one that gave Love the extension,the owner had the final say to extend him.

It's funny,how you have a problem with them winning last night when the last two years we had the second worse record in the league but was the fifth pick in both years. Some of yall act like this is the NFL where the teams can blatantly lose on purpose to get a high pick. Like,I said in the game thread,the Pelicans had around one percent change getting the top pick,two years ago and end up getting the #1 pick that year.Losing on purpose just to get the top pick doesn't work anymore..
 
It's crazy to worry now. We don't know how it will shake out. Also, we could be NO in the Davis draft and lose the extra odds and still win. There is no way to see the alternate reality that this loss would have caused, so it's like making up a scenario in your mind and getting mad about it.
 
I get that mentality and I get that studs can be found later in the draft.

But odds are odds and the best chance of success is still having the most ping pong balls.
Here is a list of the teams with the #1 pick the last five years and where they finished in terms of winning percentage.

2020 Timberwolves (6th worst)
2019 Pelicans (10th worst)
2018 Suns (tied for 2nd worst)
2017 Sixers (originally Brooklyn's pick, Nets were 8th worst)
2016 Sixers (4th worst)

So only two times in the last five years has a team with a bottom five winning percentage got the top pick.

I think Prince has value and Cedi really doesn't. I think we have enough role players buy need to shoot for more top end talent. Trading Nance and Prince should get us back draft picks and/or prospects with some upside. The real problem with the roster is we just have so few guys with upside.

It's not the odds of getting the number one pick but getting a top 5 pick that most are worried about. This seems like a draft with very good talent 1-5. What we don't want is to fall out of that top 5. Once you get to 6, 7, or 8 there is going to be a significant drop off.

I think you can get two first round picks alone trading Nance...imo..

It seems to me that the best chance of success is excellent scouting and player development, especially if this draft is as deep as everyone thinks.

And that is exactly what my problem is with this team. Scouting and player development. First off if your scouting department does a piss poor job of scouting and recommends you draft a player with a lot of limitations then you can’t “develop” that player. Secondly in answer to another poster’s question about draft strategy...when you are picking in the top five spots in a lottery you are looking for difference makers not BPA. BPA isn’t a franchise/impact player which is what you need to acquire when your team is in a rebuild....especially when you’re a small market team that will not be able to attract top tier FAs.
