Wemby and scoot for as great as they look may never translate to the nba. Lotto is a crap shoot plain and simple. I remember the wiseman hype. However wemby does look like a generational player. There is no guarantees at 1 or 10.

Everyone wants very early picks which makes sense but the crap shoot part of the draft is why I would always take younger proven talent over picks.

Thats every gm though. Most will never part with recently picked lottery picks, at least not until 3rd season, or more specifically top 5 one's, unless they are headcases, injured, disgruntled. Or they are a contender that only wants win now 1 time allstars on rentals that need to get paid, and use the rook or pick as trade bait.
 
What would it take for us to get OG Anunoby from the Raptors? He’s 25, the same age as Lauri, and like Lauri, his peak years are still ahead of him. I don’t think the Raptors want to trade him, but in today’s NBA anything is possible if the price is right. Anyone wants to weigh in?

Near the top of the draft best player available makes sense, but somewhere near the middle of the draft, I would draft for need or what best fits for the team because it is just too costly otherwise. Yes, you can find hidden gems but you have to be fairly confident they emerge.

Two unprotected firsts at minimum would be my guess.

More I would say. He is widely considered as one of the best wing defenders in the league and has good offensive game as well. Has completely shut down Donovan twice (8 and 12 points).

I think its closer to 3 unprotected firsts plus players. Not quite Donovan price but not too far either.

Sexton is young so I would rather package him in an upgrade trade with a low end team where we give away picks.

But at this point I sort of want to see more of him.. and keep him as an insurance if JC skips town.

That’s why I said if we re-signed Clarkson. If Clarkson leaves we obviously hold onto him.

It might be true but that’s a bonkers price imo. OG is good but has missed a lot of games over the last few years. I wouldnt pay that price but a team like Phoenix or Miami might. 2 unprotected picks and some sweetener is the fair deal. If they get three then I think the acquirer may end up with some buyers remorse.

Only has 1.5 years of team control… for Utah I’d hesitate to even do 2 unprotected picks. Not arguing on his trade value with you… just saying that’s where I’d draw the lines.
