Kidd or ____
Rip or ____
Melo
Millsap
Noah
With a scoring backup guard and a defensive wing on the bench. Plus two bigs.
That was the team I was hoping Chicago would build prior to trading Millsap.
The disappointment is palpable.
Oh, I don't know.
Yes, I could have drafted those players. Passing on Kidd was a mistake, I'll admit.
But my current squad is much better defensively. It should also be deeper and more talented, thanks to the improved draft position. I have other reasons for making trades that I will reveal when it comes time for voting.
Bottom line, I still have the chips to arrive at a superior end product.
