That's not what I meant. This is a league predicated on having 3ish top players and role players around them. Trading back for more role players doesnt fix this. We are not an FA destination, but we certainly can get our fair share of role players. We need a star, period. This pick needs to be a homerun. It just does. It's possible that player isn't in this draft, but I'm sure there are a few guys that will be All Stars, we need to get one. Or trade the pick for one.
That's the gamble. I don't think the 4th best player in this draft would crack the top 10 in other years, so I'd be more open to moving that pick for an impact vet and/or a lower pick.
Edit: I'm also worried about putting our hopes on this #4 pick for the same reason. It's a low bar, and our expectations really should be that of a role player - any "stud" found in this group will be accidental. Jabari Smith Jr. is the clear #1, but...eh. I'm not wowed.
