What's new

Trade up? What are you willing to give up?

Lauri is completely off limits for me, and it would probably take at least the 3rd pick for me to consider giving up Kessler. Anything else would be on the table.
 
Sexton + #9 might get the Jazz to #6 or even #5, depending on what they take back. I have little confidence that the Jazz see Sexton as a core piece longer term. I think he was a rehabilitation project.
 
I'm somewhat of a Scoot skeptic, would not pay whatever price it would cost to get him (probably Lauri).

If there's a guy I'd target, it would be Cam Whitmore and there's a decent shot he's there at 6. I think a deal with ORL makes sense. They are dying for a player like Gradey Dick and they could get him at #9.

I'm terrible at this draft pick trade value stuff, but I think 9+16 or 9+28+protected future first for #6 sounds about right.
 
I dont think Ochai moves the needle for anyone so I didnt include him. If teams are trading down they usually want win now pieces and Sexton is more of that I guess.

If I'm Dallas, I might offer #10 for Ochai. He'd be a nice 3D wing next to Luka. I think the Jazz would probably decline.
 
I would package #16 and #28 to move up to #13 for Kobe Bufkin, Keyonte George, Cason Wallace, or GG (if he's still there).

ORL at #11 and OKC at #12 don't need guards as a priority. One of these teams is very likely to take Gradey Dick. So I think a couple of the guards we've been discussing can likely be taken at #13. Jazz would need to get ahead of NOLA and ATL probably.

If you're OK with taking any of those 4 guys, just wait for them at #16.

On my board, there is a drop off after 15. But I think there’s a pretty good chance one of Keyonte, Bufkin, GG, or Hawkins “slips” to 16, I would just be pretty pissed if they were all gone there.

The next tier gets kinda murky for me. I do like a ton of players after that but a lot of them feel like wildcards.
