play along: What could Trey + #23 get us?

If Trey and #23 get us the Laker or Kings pick (7th and 8th) what do you think the odds are of combining that pick and the 5th pick for #1 in a trade with the Cavs?

Let's not bicker about trading Trey in this thread. Instead, let's experiment.

What do you think Trey + #23 could get us?

A #9 and #23. Trey was serviceable, but in this draft, would not have top-10 value. I'm guessing the Jazz could get to the mid-teens. All depends on which teams need PG's.
 
I'm really tired of all the people tossing Trey aside.

Are you ****ing kidding me? We moved up to get him, NCAA player of the year, ice in his veins end of game killa, fearless, top 3 in rookie of the year voting....
and some of you knuckleheads are ready to toss him aside? For who? Smart? Give me a ****ing break. Smart could bust. He's small as ****. Or he could turn into a decent Nate Robinson type.

Now there is nothing wrong with floating trade ideas about any of our players. I have nothing against this thread per say I've just been seeing a lot of people dissing Trey lately, and I came in here to vent. I think Trey Burke will have a better pro career than Smart. Let's see what happens though. Smart could explode. I guess I just don't see why people are trashing Trey, and wanting to replace him already. Seems nuts to me.

Trey is a solid #10 in any draft. I'm not sure that means anything when it comes to draft madness, but in a normal year second year Trey should get you a top twelve minimum. Think of trading Trey for a Burks' potential -- it's no brained.

Good post
 
We throw in #35 and a future 2nd if needed.

We get #12 from Orlando.

We take Exum, Gordon or Smart @ 5, and Zach Lavine @ 12.

I would absolutely love that draft.

Saying Smart is small and comparing him to Nate Robinson is blasphemy!
 
Smart > >>> Trey.

But I don't even want Smart really.

But...
A PG who can defend, push the pace, and get to the rim is much more valuable than a slow PG who shoots a poor % except at the end of the game, can't get to the rim, and can't defend. The PG who can't shoot isn't nearly as big of a deal as any other player who can't shoot. He has the ball in his hands, and if he's a threat at the rim, he still has to be guarded.

-------------------------------

Yes - I would 'toss him aside' for a player who can drive to the rim at will and defend. Smart is very similar to Wade. I want a PG who can actually defend because defense shows up every night. I'm tired of watching the other team's PG school us each and every game because Burke can't get lateral.

Smart is better than Burke. He will have a better career. Also, as others have pointed out, I don't know why you're calling Smart small. He's over 6'3 and strength-wise he's one of the strongest point guards to come out of the draft combine.
