Better NBA Method? Draft/Develop vs Trade/Sign

You could argue for both methods, as well as a combination. The negatives are pretty scarey for both methods though. Atlanta has great depth right now, they have developed a young side but in a few years do you really think they will be able to keep them all??? Joe will want max, j-smith will want max, then you have the other josh, marvin, sheldon, and round it out with two rookies, one of which could demand big money. thats a lot of big contracts. I guess some teams are just destined to be minor clubs that feed the big fish.
If you'd rather just buy talent- look at the knicks, they buy guys that have career years (in their contract season er der)and put together a team of guys who have got theirs and just don't care.
Jazz are probably the best example of mixing free agents with developed draft picks.
I like toronto's strategy of using euro talent. they are generally more team orientated and less greedy for the bling bling.
