Would you guys give up #21 to OKC if they gave us back next years protected pick?

Would the lottery results affect you decision?

If we landed #1 I would consider it. If not we are full tank ahead. Might be full tank ahead either way but if the offers for the vets suck I can see us hanging around the 8-12 range and not being able to pull the plug hard enough to get where we need to if we have Cooper.

Why? I mean we better be bad enough for a top 5 pick next year anyways. That would feel like just giving away a pic for free.

It will be hard to be bad if we have Cooper. @Elizah Huge and I are gonna have a good portion of a pod discussing it, but Coop won't be the typical rookie that kills your ability to win. All the young guys should improve and some may improve a lot. Managing Lauri and Walker like we have is a bit untenable. You will need to move Collins and Sexton which sounds easy but would have thought we could do it at the trade deadline if it was really easy.

To add to that, it will be harder to move them now than at the deadline if Danny isn’t willing to have some humility that he didn’t have. They were perfect deadline additions.

No. However, depending on how things are shaking out next year, I’d consider doing a deal with them if it looks like either Minnesota or Cleveland are set to end up below us (likely only in the case of a serious injury to a key guy on either team.) In which case, that pick is way more valuable to us than it is to them.

I think in some ways its easier because of roster spot restrictions and cap stuff being a little more flexible. Not sure the return is all that great and we will almost certainly "lose the trade". I can hear Bill Simmons now "House are you telling me all you could get for Collin Sexton is two seconds? I mean that guy gets you 20-25 pts any given night. I think Ainge has lost his fastball."
