Yeah, this topic is KINDA pointless -- but not totally.

The reason I say that is because it helps to go back to look at your mistakes, and what led you to make them, and what you could have done differently to maximize the opportunity.

In the case of our recent aquisitions, I think the lesson to learn is that rookies are not useless -- even for winning NOW. We have traded away our picks for (somewhat) proven talent, and the reasoning is: we want to win NOW. That implies that we don't have much faith in winning NOW with draft picks, and that we have to get veteran players to win NOW. I believe that is the mistake we have made recently, and I hope we can learn to use draft picks AND win now AND in the future.
