Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 2202799, member: 168"] If they don't think Fultz or Ball is the best player in the draft, trade with the 76ers and grab that player (Jackson? Tatum?). No harm. But you draft who you think is the best player and go from there. Watching LeBron annihilate them it's blindingly obvious you can't win a title with IT as your best player (duh, but needs to be reiterated), and so they need to really think about how they go forward with this year's pick, and next year's Nets pick as well. It's a team filled with third and fourth options on a title team, but no first or second, and that's a problem. Between free agency and the drafts they have three actual needs: [LIST] [*]an NBA-sized PG (Fultz?) [*]a wing who can create (Haywood? George? Butler? Jackson? Tatum?) [*]a rim-protector (??? Mo Bamba???) [/LIST] If they had those positions, IT could be change of pace, sixth man of the year sort of player anchoring the second team with Crowder and Rozier. Bradley/Smart could start at the 2 with strong defense. Horford as a 4 that can stretch and play solid defense (though not on LeBron). A team constructed like that could compete with the Cavs [I]now, [/I]and if they play their cards right and keep these guys young, will be competing for the title when LeBron takes his step back.
