No. The long game is building a war chest of assets that give a a significant amount of team building flexibility. Hornets arent a tanking team, they have their young core and have every reason to try and get to the playoffs. They are playing the long game with that core and adding currency they can use through trades to build a deep playoff rosterIs the long game just stink and tank every year? I don’t really see what Hornets are doing. They are compiling pick swaps from a good Minnie team. I don’t know I understand this is the new wave but to me all pick swaps do is encourage teams to go all I. And be good…..I don’t know how Mavs keep their pick though other than be terrible and have a small chance. I don’t sense Flagg or any franchise player wants to sit around for a rebuild though.
