Starting with the 2012 draft
1) 2012 draft - Go BPA and draft Andre Drummond over Ross
2) Don't make Kyle Lowry trade
3) October 2012 - Trade JV for James Harden, that deal was on the table
4) January 2013 - Make the Jose Calderon + Ed Davis for Rudy Gay trade
5) June 2013 - Draft Giannis the Greek Freak, Masai has stated he was trying to land a pick to draft him
6) Summer 2013 - Trade Demar for best young PG available, (Brandon Knight? Jrue Holiday?)
Also at some point #Firecasey or allow contract to expire and Hire coach Bud, SVG, Steve Kerr or any of the capable coaches out there
PG - Brandon Knight
SG - James Harden
SF - Giannis Antekoumpo
PF - Rudy Gay
C - Andre Drummond
The point is that we're only a couple of years into the Masai era and he's been shrewd so far. A couple of great deals, no real flops and still working through some of the mess of his predecessor but it's not insane to think some of the above best case scenario home runs may have been hit by him if he was in charge a year earlier..
Meanwhile the NBA seems to have smartened up a bit so you might not see a Harden trade or Greek Freak fall in the draft again but after this season he should have a pretty good idea of what he has with plenty of flexibility to work with. We might have a very different team a couple of years from now.
