I’ve seen folks on this sub say, “With guys like Grant and Brogdon, our young guns won’t develop.”

A discussion in another NBA sub discusses some of the mistakes rebuilding teams make. The first answer given was not keeping some vets on the team. They argued that having vets around helps the young guys develop. Maybe having some good vets hurts our draft position, but the reward of better young player development is more significant.

What are your thoughts?

    That was the topic of the latest Jacked Ramsay’s. Mike Richman touched on some of those points on today’s Locked as well, IIRC…

    One of the conversations with JG that Danny keeps mentioning, is how bad being part of the “process” Sixers was. If you played too well they would bench you. :) It’s the idea that if the goal is to lose by 40 every night, so the franchise can someday draft someone else - No player of any years/age would want to be a part of that. :)

    As far as who might be moved by the TD, and who might be moved at the end of the season/draft, who may or may not be back in FA - That’s every team, every season. :) Most franchises don’t have 1-15 for decade. A core of 3-4 guys can be a generational dynasty, but any group of like a 8-9 playoff rotation folks might only get one year together… If that. :)
