Lets say in the 2014 draft a bottom dweller was open to trading a pick in the 3 to 7 range. Two teams, about the same standings wise, offer 3 first round picks to you, but one offers 4 second round picks as compared to one, which one do you take? Just a thought for what it is worth.
I get that side to it, but say the Warriors sign a MLE guy whose contributions win them 2-4 games and bump that pick from a 20 to say a 24. And say the first team's offer second first round pick is a 27 or so. Wouldn't a team pick the 20 to the 27 even without the additional second round picks (as opposed to picking the 24 to the 27 without the picks)? And if they are that critical to a trade can't Lindsey just acquire them later?
Perhaps in reality either side is an extreme scenario not worth arguing about though.
