You only do this if you think Burke isn't the future and Marcus Smart is a very substantial upgrade.

What other value can you get from Burke?
 
Yeah all we need at two is skinny overrated **** who can't shoot. You guys are crazy:/
 
Among the teams that would be open to trading their lottery pick? It's highly likely that the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz are all holding onto their picks

Looks like teams open to trade are the Cavs, Celtics, Lakers and Kings. Maybe pull off a deal to land the Laker or Kings pick and offer #5 and #7/8 to the Cavs for #1?
 
So trade top 4 talent in last year's draft PLUS other assets for a 12 pick in this year's draft? The draft is deep, but it isn't THAT deep.

Top-4 talent in a TERRIBLE draft doesn't mean a thing. Is he top-4 in a normal year? After a year of starting would any team pick him in the top-10 this year?
 
In a heartbeat.

Why? It increases our chances of drafting a BPA at a position of need. If ORL thinks Trey could be their man, they could snag Vonleh @4, letting Exum slip to us. We take Exum @ 5, and Zach Lavine @ 12. We get two players w/ incredible amounts of upside in this draft. If nurtured correctly, either one of them could blossom into franchise caliber talent. They are both very athletic, tall and long, and truly capable of playing the 1 or 2. Lavine is also a very gifted shooter, who could be brought along slowly off the bench.

Imagine an 8 man rotation of:

Exum, Lavine
Burks, Hayward
Hayward, Marvin
Favors, Kanter
Kanter, Gobert, Favors


There is so much athleticism and length. Hayward's wingspan is a little undersized for the SF, but Exum and Lavine are oversized for their positions. Marvin can be subbed in to guard the bigger SF's, w/ Hayward at the 2. Etc.

Fill the rest of the team w/ some specialists for shooting, and for D, and this team has a lot of upside.

I like that team, but I don't think the Magic really want Trey. A back court of Trey and Oladipo is pretty small.
