The Miami Heat need to start building something. But how do you do that when teams like the Western Conference finalist Spurs and Thunder are already so far ahead, not just with young elite talent but also with lots of extra draft picks? Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander differ somewhat on how to process that dilemma.
