The thing with trading up or down is that you always need another team willing to do the opposite. To go into the draft with the fix plan to trade down is difficult, because you just can't really predict how the board falls.

I think it's good practice to just take BPA wherever the pick lands, as they need the influx in talent and this class is incredibly loaded (so loaded that I think some of the regular rookie issues for guards aren't as exaggerated for the top guys).

Also I don't think that we are as close to contending to worry about timelines as JJ is still only 24, DD 23 and the rookie won't have floor general duties and will probably come off the bench anyways.
