On the plus side, the further out the pick is, the more likely the Avs could decline and increase the value of the pick.
Unfortunately, the Avs really did not have much more to give. They have 1 draft pick in the first three rounds of the next three drafts and their prospect pool does not have much to offer.

It's not like we're going to be aging out of our hypothetical competitive window by then.
By 2031, Wolf and Zary are going to be 29.
What I want from the management is less an attempt to build a cup contender as soon as possible, but rather making consistently solid decisions that keeps the team competitive in a sustainable way.
Having a steady influx of good young players for 5 years sounds great to me.
