Does GM David Kahn want us to suck?

Personally I don’t know what David Kahn is doing. If you are going to trade your star power forward why for nothing valuable and why for more picks. This is not the NFL where you can be Bill Belliceck and build your team through late rounds in the draft. You acquire players hopefully land a star and then trade for and sign others stars to compliment the star you already have. That is how the NBA system is run. It’s what the Heat, Lakers, Celtics, Magic have all done and they are the NBA elite. Yea David Kahn you’ve had a lot of picks but what have you come out with. Darko Milicic as your starting Center. Two point guards. A disgruntled Michael Beasily. And the defensive can’t decide if he’s a 4 or 5 Kevin Love. Make this trade and save your job. You send Ricky Rubio and Wayne Ellington to Memphis for Hasheem Thabeet and OJ Mayo. Both teams fill in all of their missing pieces and everyone is happy. Also I cant see beasily in this teams long term future with Love on the roster so make him happy, give him some minutes, Let him show NBA GMs why he was taken second overall and then use him as trading bait.
