Trade up? What are you willing to give up?

[KqWIN]

Some draft twitter nerds are doing a mock with lots of mock trades. Here's the thread, take it FWIW:

He’s tried to do all three things… wait, move up, move back. I could see is moving up to 6 or 3 and I could also see us moving back to 12. He’s pretty good at gathering intel based on prior drafts.

We are a little bit at the mercy of the Wiz… I wonder if he’d throw 28 just to move up a spot.

9 plus 28 for 8. Sign me up if they would take it and Ausar, Hendrix, or Cam were available.

One of those or Walker would be guaranteed to be available.

It would be a little bit of controlling our own destiny if they don’t like the pg options. I do think if you had Walker or Hendricks in hand an offer to Portland for 3 looks a lot better. A little two step. Just whatever happens don’t punt on 28 but splitting into future second round picks.

I would absolutely do it.

I'd think long and hard about Lauri for #2. Hard pass on #3. IMO you better really like Brandon Miller or T. Hendricks to aggressively move up for #3 - we'll get a very good player at #9 as it stands.

The idea was Lauri for Scoot regardless if it’s at 2 or 3.

Really like that idea, though the Wiz will know we’re at their mercy and try to milk it.

Here’s a question what is the lowest you’d go to move up with 9/16?

Would you do it for 7 or would the minimum be 6?

What about all 3? Would you do that for 6 or would the minimum be 5?

Obviously depends on who is still available where, but blindly I would say it would have to be 6 at least. We have a good chance at getting two solid players with 9 and 16, so the one player we would get instead would have to really be worth it. I’d probably do it for Ausar.

What will Rudy Gay and rights to Tomic get us?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Basically yes. I think that it what it they want in minimum if we dont send lauri or walker in the process. Its just that that 28 pick is not very valuable. And Utah have what 13 first round picks in next 5 years? And i like the kid (Scoot) already.

So Utah pays the price to get Embiid (MVP of the league), but then doesn't actually get Embiid.
