And, really, 26th selections don't usually yield what we've needed, and you have to wait for them to develop. Considering Kobe's 33 and most of our signings will be vets for the minimum, there's no way we can wait for those guys to develop.       @Chris Shellcroft You have to be very damn good at scouting prospects to find serviceable players at the end of the first round of NBA drafts because teams select based on talent as opposed to need.

This was a huge gain for the team as a whole. Nash does so many things that he'll help improve the team in a lot of ways. What would be ideal is having Sessions come back as a sixth. Don't think there is any way that happens but it would be a perfect fit. Getting an outside shooter is key. Kapono was never going to be the solution and Troy Murphy was a good idea that came a few years too late. This is why I'm down on the value placed on Nash in the trade. You can find quality role players late in the first round. Plus you get the added bonus of taking on a rookie contract that isn't going to cost anything what vet would even if he's giving you a discount.  @carlosatUCLA I’m with you.
