What good GMs do is gather as many assets as possible in order to turn them into better assets. It doesn't matter if those assets fit the team now because right now doesn't matter.

How is that acceptable?

You know people criticize the Melo trade but the knicks stack assets but still tried to build a competitive team. You get players you need to keep the team concept. David Kahn on the other hand was a straight ******* drafting point guard after point guard and stockpiling small fwds. He's a jackass for that. You can stack assets but you need to look like your team has a plan/culture/style of play....you don't just gather random players with the hopes of flipping them for someone better....that is redonkulous
