I don't understand why folks are bashing Kahn so much. This is regarded as a very weak draft. Rather than give a multi-year guaranteed contract to a guy he didn't like, Kahn turned that into a future #1 from Memphis, a couple future #2s, and a ton of cash (presumably). That's a pretty good return on a bad pick.
I guarantee that Kahn gets more value out of his pick than a lot of other GMs do from theirs.
I thought it fairly evident. They have a ton of young talent, not much of which is very good. They need veteran talent. So rather than picking talent now(weak draft or not this is a crap shoot and he did trade with Chicago, Miami, and Houston, teams with great GMs who will probably all be good and whose picks will probably be as low or lower than this years, except maybe Hosuton's) they put it off and off and receive possibly even lower picks than they were trading.
They don't need more picks. They don't need more youth. They probably need more money but that's about it. What they need is to move some of this youth for vets but Kahn has signed a lot of it to bad contracts and continues to trade down and down every year and getting worse and worse talent.
And now in the next day or so he is apparently going to fire his coach over the phone after hiring a guy dedicated to the triangle offense after having no players that fit that particular offense. He's the same guy that drafted Flynn, Rubio and Lawson in the same draft and now has probably the worse of the three still on his team. he's the guy that has 5 PFs and just drafted another.
Sorry, Kahn gets no love here. He's a bozo.
