I don't think it is their scouting.... I think their development program is doing a better job of making space for young players to get to their ceiling instead of being stifled out.

Anyway, I am all for letting the scouting team do their thing, but I am not for sitting around and doing nothing with other avenues of asset management under the guise of "being patient". If a trade can be had to acquire a young C that fits the organizational need (and the Wolf timetable) then I think any of our picks outside of the next few 1st rounders should be on the table as trade chips to support the bigger trade chips (Andersson, Coleman, etc).
Well yes because they built their strong core. We haven't. We have maybe 2 pieces in place. I'd love to be in their position in 3-5 years to trade futures for star wingers.
