Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Spurs really need a big man who isn't 38 years old. I bet they still like Bradley. And they would still get the 21st overall pick.

The Jazz clearly see potential there. I am not sure I want to lose that just to move up a few spots. However, I do see the logic behind it since Rudy is firmly entrenched at the 5.

Jazz trade Bradley and the 21st pick for 18 and White

Something along those lines.

I don’t think it’s worth it tbh. The Jazz clearly likes Bradley and clearly expected him to be a project moving forward. I wouldn’t consider trading him until after Udoh leaves and he has a chance to crack the regular season rotation. He’s so young and raw that it’s silly not to give him some time working with the Jazz exceptionally good player development staff.

I think its realistic, but if we see someone we like and are trading up there is a chance they like said player too. I think they need a guy like Okobo more than a guy like Bradley and bigs are much easier to find these days.

I'm all for 18 and White for 21 and Bradley, but I liked White more than Bradley last year. I am slightly worried Phoenix take Okobo.
 
It's probably unpopular, but I'd put Jae on the table if it got us the guy we want and expiring contracts. Like if we guranteed Udoh's deal and sent Udoh, Crowder, 21 for 15 and Gortat and got Okobo I'd be happy. Moving Crowder would unlock the ability to more freely use our MLE for someone this year without compromising our max cap space next year.

Washington needs warm bodies and giving a wing while cutting 3-4 M in salary next year is helpful. They are close enough to get out of the tax this year and avoid repeater tax. Gortat and Wall ain't buddies and that locker room needs help.

I think Crowder is Favors insurance. Don’t see it as very likely that he gets traded before at least seeing how he functions in a bigger role for a whole season.

Just like a player option you can guarantee it anytime before the date... Niko is a good example... got his guaranteed pre trade.
 
Continued small tweaks, mostly adding more guys to the lower tiers to get to 30. Numbers after a player are what I see as a players realistic outcome ranges from low to high. 10 is an ATG, 5 is a solid bench/acceptable starter, 1 is a guy who probably shouldn't be in the NBA.

Tier 1:
1. Luka Doncic: 5 - 9
2. Jaren Jackson: 4 - 9

Tier 2:
3. Trae Young: 2 - 9
4. Wendell Carter: 3 - 8
5. Mikal Bridges: 4 - 7
6. Mohamed Bamba: 1 - 9

Tier 3:
7. Gary Clark: 3 - 7
8. Marvin Bagley: 3 - 7
9. DeAndre Ayton: 1 - 8
10. Michael Porter: 1 - 8
11. Landry Shamet: 2 - 7
12. Elie Okobo: 2 - 7

Tier 4:
13. Jacob Evans: 2 - 6
14. Jalen Brunson: 2 - 6
15. Vince Edwards: 2 - 6
16. Jevon Carter: 2 - 6
17. Lonnie Walker: 1 - 6
18. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 1 - 6
19. Keita Bates-Diop: 1 - 6
20. Kevin Huerter: 1 - 6
21. Josh Okogie: 1 - 6
22. Zhaire Smith: 1 - 6
23. DeAnthony Melton: 1 - 6
24. Troy Brown: 1 - 6
25. Miles Bridges: 1 - 6
26. Collin Sexton: 1 - 6
27. Devon Hall: 2 - 5
28. Shake Milton: 2 - 5
29. Mo Wagner: 2 - 5
30. Devonte Graham: 2 - 5
