We need to trade our draft pick during the draft this year. I wonder what we could land with a salary combo of Davis, Bradley, or Niang plus the pick.
We can’t trade it, can we? We didn’t use one last year.

We can. We just have to officially make the selection.We can’t trade it, can we? We didn’t use one last year.
Depends of course... I actually kind of like some of the types of players that are available around where we are picking. This draft is considered bad and the picks weren't valuable at the trade deadline, so I wonder if they are worth more or less on draft night... usually they are worth less unless there is a guy someone really wants. I would try and do a deal where we move Davis into someone's space, pick someone they want and get a future first in return for deferring the pick... kind of like Boston did last draft. That's pretty specific so I'm not sure that is possible.We need to trade our draft pick during the draft this year.

If we could trade Ed and pick for a future pick then that’s great. Restock those assets.Depends of course...

I think we can get what we need in FA with the MLE and BAE if we want. I might want to put a future first in my pocket for a trade deadline deal. We need to see what we have in Morgan, Brantley... I don't think Oni or Tucker get any run at all this year. We need to see what we have in some of these projects before adding more to the pile... NWG I'm fine waiving. I like JWF... maybe we give him a spot and put him in the JFC School of Buckets.
Dinwiddie or LeVert should be available this summer.
If we extend Clarkson, the need for one of these guys goes down substantially.
I'm intrigued by the PF/big man market:
Marcus Morris
Gallinari
Millsap
Montrez Harrell
Bertans
Ibaka
Tristan Thompson
Jae Crowder
Derrick Favors
Baynes
Can we get one of the guys above with the MLE? If we can while keeping everything else intact, what an addition that could be. Or maybe trade Conley and our late pick to NY for Portis, Ntilikina, 2nds.

Just trying to workshop that and I don't see a 1st for 1st type of scenario... Might be able to trade with NY and get the second they have this year from charlotte and the second they have next year from Charlotte or Detroit. So a first plus ed for two good seconds. Not sexy at all, but good value play and gives us the salary margin we need.
I think someone might take a flier on TB if we just traded him into their space. No real assets just salary dump. Clears up some space and opens up some roster spots.
I think I'd lean to just keeping and making the pick... we still need like one more draft win to push us over the top imo. Not a huge win... but like a Josh Hart, Derrick White level win.
It’s moving down to get one second in 2020 draft and one in 2021... it’s also more trade currency.We don’t need two 2nds. We’re already developing NWG, Oni, Brantley, Morgan, and Bradley amongst others. Don’t need two more projects.
