  • Trading Down in the Draft

    Matt and I and a few others posted numerous trades of potentially attaining a higher pick in this years draft but much talk around the forum seems revolve around the potential of trading down in the draft. I do not profess to support such a plan but below are a few less objectionable (if they have a chance of happening) options IMO.

    What are your trade down in the draft ideas?

  • #2
    Trade #1
    Tor: #14 & #23
    Hou: #5
    I would add if players need to move for this either Barbosa or Bargnani for CLee and HThabeet but push picks only first.

    Trade #2
    Tor: #20 pick, JFlynn
    Minny: JCalderon

    Target players for the #s 14,20,23:

    Marshon Brooks: SG performing very well at the workouts strong potential solid backup to DD
    Darius Morris: PG described as perhaps the best pure PG in the draft
    Jeremy Tyler: C performing very well at w/outs and a few yrs ago was projected as a top prospect at this draft before he left high school.
    Bismack Biyombo: C everyone has heard of him by now.
    Tobias Harris: SF comparisons to WChandler and TPrince. Impressing at workouts.
    Tyler Honeycutt: Wing
    Kyle Singler: SF

    I would go for Morris, Brooks or Harris and either Biyombo or Tyler.

    I would then keep (not preferred) or move Bargnani for pieces and/or more picks, even a high one, top 10 in this draft still.

      Tor: #20 & #22
      Den: JFlynn, #7 pick
      Minny: JCalderon
      Sac: RFelton
      I realise in this case not trading our pick to move down just altering trade 2 above.

        If some of these happen (would be interesting if we had 14,20,22,23) could gain many young assets and the team could be like:

        PG: JBayless, DMorris
        SG: DDerozan, LBarbosa, MBrooks
        SF: JJ, THarris, LKleiza
        PF: ED, Amir
        C: ABargnani, BBiyombo, SAlabi.
        Salary: $42M with Barbosa as an expiring.
        Still the potential of moving Bargnani for picks/pieces perhaps get back in to top 10 this draft and get KLeonard (later go for JTyler instead of THarris) or EKanter by trading BArgnani to Sac, Utah, etc?
