but you also have Nerlins and Okafor....using lottery picks. Whatever you get with trades of those guys is going to be compared to the position they where Nerlins and Okafor were drafted...

and there are teams that are always in the lottery...there are some that are in it for a few years and end up improving over time to NOT be in the lottery.

the goal is to put a team on the court that is going to get better and win...

but see Monta Ellis is a proven player in the NBA.... you know you're going to be able to trade him for some value because teams have seen him be successful in the league...

unlike drafting guys who haven't been proven hoping to trade them

yeah...the Sixers aren't better than the Lakers...they have a better record by a couple of games and we've played more games on the road....in a tougher conference..... the Lakers are in a solid position moving forward.... we got a Center for our future...drafted in the 2nd round...any trade we make aren't to fix any log jams at any position...


nobody is trolling the Sixers...they've been sorry for quite a number of years are on another tank mission...

so lets see what if anything they get back for Okafor and/or Nerlins....
