Trade up? What are you willing to give up?

I wonder if Sexton and #9 is enough to get #6 from Orlando. They need backcourt creation and shooting, and Dick should be there at #9. I also think they are ready to pivot and interested in players rather than picks if they were to trade down.

Decent chance Whitmore is there at #6, but Hendricks and other good prospects that I am not sure will be the best fits in Orlando will also be.

I think there is real merit here. Who says no?

Ochai should have value for them instead of or in addition to Sexton since his best skill is shooting and he is long, young, and not a dice-roll.

Thanks. I like batman :) Anyway "experts" say that Scoot would be close 1 pick in another draft and he would also be in the rookie deal in few years. So Utah would have plenty of caproom to make more moves. Also you just dont collect picks, you try to make a winning team. It just depends what you think about Scoot. I think that he has a good potential to be very good player, maybe even all-star in the future. It just that you seldom have chance to get up in draft to get such a potential player. And it is possible to change the deal a bit, because now its very favorable to Portland i think (they get Embiid). If Portland sends on that 3 team deal Nurtic and A.Simons to Philadelphia, then maybe its enough to send 9, 16, 28 2023 draft picks and lakers first and something like 2 firsts to Philadelphia and philadelphia sends embiid to Portland and portland Scoot for Utah. I know it still is somewhere 5 firsts for Scoot, but one is just late first rounder (28?). I think that would be a good deal to Portland and for Utah. Not sure what philadelphia would think about it though (they have to give up Embiid) and start over.

Unless the rookie is MJ, LBJ, or VW. You don’t trade 7 draft picks. That’s insane
 
No way we trade Lauri for a #3. Except Wemby ( if he dont get injured), all the others players from the draft are good to average for me. Lauri is an NBA All Star.
 
Alright... I think I figured out how we get #3. Portland needs a big... its like the thing they have not had with Dame is a big rim protecting big.

So we loop in our old friends the Cavaliers. They need some help and the two big thing maybe needs a shakeup. So a deal goes like this:

Portland out: Nurkic, #3 pick
Portland In: Jarrett Allen, #9 pick

Cavs out: Allen
Cavs in: Nurkic, Ochai (I mean they drafted him and kind of need someone like him), they get back one of their picks in 25 or 27.

Utah out: #9, Cavs pick, Ochai
Utah in: #3 and maybe we take a salary one of the teams doesn't want. Maybe another pick goes somewhere or we give them back a swap.

Maybe a little light for the Cavs. Nurkic could be a 20 minute a night starter for them as they transition Mobley to the 5. He was okay when he was healthy but Portland just needs something more dynamic. I'm banking a bit on the fact that Cavs are kind of boxed in and control of their own pick is a little more valuable to them than it would be to outsiders.

I think that’s too much for the Cleveland and not enough for Portland. I think you’re overrating Allen.

Then I send them one more pick. I think Nurkic's deal is viewed as bad and Allen the opposite. I know Mobley is part of that great Cavs defense by Allen is a good part of it too... I think Allen as a lob threat might unlock some things for Dame.

Either way it honestly felt too little for us to give up... so #9 plus, two picks, and Ochai is pretty fair and reasonable.

Yeah, I probably would do that.

Im guessing that Ochai is part of our future plans. I don't think he's on the table.
