Just saying, trying to trade and acquire other teams free agents, stars, and superstars hadn't really worked all that well for the Knicks the past 15 or so years either.
Characterizing draft picks as nothing more than an all or nothing get a superstar or a bust thing is not the right way to look at it. Teams generally covet picks, especially now with the new CBA, not because are simply a 1 in a 100 shot at getting the next Lebron but because you can generally get a player who contributes the same value as a comparable veteran while getting paid substantially less. It's about value. Value, with a chance to get lucky and sometimes get a superstar. Yes, sometimes you draft a complete bust but that's why you have a good management in place.
