Getting a future unprotected 1st would be hard to pass up but I doubt that would be the offer. A big thing for me is that Lavine gums up the works when it comes to player development. Between Sexton, Key, Brice, Cody and Collier we already have a bit of a minutes crunch in the backcourt. Brice has enough beef to play some minutes at the 3 but I think I like him more at the 2. Cody has the height and length for the 3 but at his weight I think he is more of a 2 as well. I would also love to get Taylor a consistent 30 minutes a game the 3 so there aren't many minutes to around anyways.
At the end of the day is a future 1st even if it is unprotected worth hindering some player development while also likely impacting our chance at a top 5 pick. Right now I'm leaning towards no unless we can make this a recovery year for Lavine where he rehabs the first half of the season. Then we dig such a big hole that we can have him shake off the rust the second half and not really impact our draft pick.
