Re: Washington Wizards 2010-2011 Ongoing Thread
I hope Leonis realizes that in the NBA you have to do more then build through the draft. In fact more times then not acquiring veteran talent is what wins championships. You look at the Celtics who did a complete turnaround by acquiring free agents and trading for veterans in exchange for a guy like Al Jefferson. The Lakers also tried to just go through the draft but weren't able to get back to playing championship caliber basketball until they brought in Pau Gasol.
The only NBA team I can think of in recent memory that successfully built through the draft was the Bulls and that was only good enough to get to the second round (Gordon, Heinrich, Deng, Nochioni, Tyrus Thomas). Then again one needn't forget the Hawks (Hofford, Smith, Williams).
