St. Louis? Stoll? Giordano? This post is all over the place and makes no sense to me. Please explain why more draft picks is a bad thing that leads to running out of contract room and how draft picks had ANYTHING to do with St Louis or Giordano, because you really lost me with those comparables. St louis especially who we did sign (you said we didnt) and didnt come to us through the draft (same as Gio?)
Not to mention you are blatantly wrong about all entry level deals being three years...

I'll go with point form then.
1. If you start losing on purpose, its hard to stop. Look North.
2. With the draft Quantity does not imply quality. Just get the picks you have right.
3. You can trade for all of the magic beans that you want, there is a limit to how many you can keep control of. The CBA goes to great lengths to limit rich teams from keeping control of all the prospects.
4. If you trade Cammaleri for 3rd this year, you will trade Glencross for a 4th next year, and Hudler for a 5th the year after. Because the other GMs wont care that was all you could get, they will just cut your throat the next year because your the tpye to buckle
