That's only part of the equation. Trade your vets, play your young'ns, draft well..
If we had done this last year we would have likely gotten a very good pick up of our own in the draft, this year's young guys would likely had been much further along, and we'd just be generally ahead of today rather than simply delaying a year.
I don't know whether to credit Presti or simply having Memphis & Minnesota drafting in front of you and trading away future All Stars when they actually do strike gold. Presti definitely has done a helluva good job not striking out though. Then again, when it comes down to choosing between Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook (with some pretty damn solid choices behind) & Kevin "Everyone says I should go first but won't because Odom is 8 feet tall" Durant, it's hard to screw up like Minnesota and Memphis would have.
