You are right about the mistakes. It made zero sense to trade both Rudy and Donny - though one of them clearly had to go. Trading them both with a focus on draft picks instead of young talent made no sense. Trading them both and being caught in the middle 2 years in row made no sense. Blowing it up again right now would be just as ridiculous. Time to use our "assets" to do something real.There is nothing wrong with making that admission. What would be worse is not admitting you made mistakes over the last few years and realizing that you may not be able to obtain the trajectory become a championship contender. Personally I'm worried that we are on more of a trajectory to be a middle to lower tier playoff team. A lot of people are saying to ignore what teams like the thunder, rockets, griz and spurs are doing and just focus on us but I think that is a big mistake. Those are the teams that will likely be the staples at the top of the west in the very near future and will have staying power. I like there talent quite a bit more than us currently and if we focus on win now I'm concerned we are unlikely to get the talent infusion to catch them. Yeah there is no guarantee we get that talent going full tank either but I like our chances more going that direction. I also think we could get a pretty massive haul from the nets for a Lauri and Sexton package.
