In a time where the prevailing idea was "just wait out GSW" it was a smart thing to do. The Lakers plan of "We're the Lakers" didn't work for seven years straight.
Things don't always work as intended.
Hoarding a bunch of mid to late picks was always stupid and I outlined why in real time while everyone was gassing and parroting blog boys. People were acting like you could just trade the 15th, 20th and 28th and move into the top 5 easy peasy. That was the crux of the plan and it never made any kinda sense to me
