The lack of a pick in 2016 isn't necessarily a permanent situation. We still have to wait and see how things transpire between now and then, which is a lot of time for things to change. This was NEVER going to be a team primarily built thru the draft. It's obvious that trades and FA signings is going to play a huge part in rebuilding the roster. We'll have enough drafted and undrafted young players mixed in going forward.

As for big stars signing, who the F cares about that? It's not like Phil is solely focused on big names. This team needs quality players but we're not stuck with our only option being 2nd or 3rd yr players. Yes there are young vets who should be targeted in free agency along with guys like Dragic and Matthews who are more mature.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that we might sign some second tear players- it's just what we need, I've had enough of chasing big names
