I would trade anyone on the roster for a top 5 pick in the 2014 NBA draft.

I would trade almost anyone for a top 10 pick in the 2014 NBA draft with exception of Fournier, Mozgov and maybe Gallo.

Poll only allows 10 options -- so I put the scrub players in the 'other' option.

I also included future draft picks as the 10th option.

I hope Nuggets general manager Tim Connelly reads this thread, I want Embiid, Wiggins or Exum and another top 10 pick

There isn't a realistic combination that would get us a top 5 or top 10 pick.

Unfortunately trades have to be an agreement between two teams.

This thread is really overrating draft picks, Lawson is just as good as Holiday, and Holiday brought back 2 top 10 lotto picks. That being said unless the front office is under specific orders to tank and rebuild no GM is going to trade good starting players for a crap shoot, that is a good way to end up in the unemployment line.

So saying that the only players I would trade for a top 5 pick those teams are not going to be interested in.

No one on our roster will be traded for a top 5 pick....because no team with a top 5 will want Lawson and his higher contract over their pick.

Keep Lawson, Fournier, Gallo, and Faried. Force Faried to stay by matching his RFA offer, and trade everyone else. I don't expect we can get a 14' first round pick though, without giving up one of those 4.

It will be interesting to see who ends up having the better record between us and the Knicks. A couple months ago i would have said it would never even be close, but we have gone downhill at an epic rate.

Why, why, why did we have to sign Hixson...

Your right no team would want a borderline all star making a little over $12 million a year over taking a crap shoot where most expect even the best of this crop of draft picks to be slightly better than that.

....and the team wouldn't trade Lawson for a top-5 pick.

Cavs fan here. The Cavs would think long and hard if Gallo was available for No. 9.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

I am sure they would, but the thing is there is nobody at the 9th spot who I would bet on being better than Gallo was in 12-13, so the only way they trade him is if they do not believe he will ever be that guy again.

Raptors fan here. What's Denver's plan for Gallo? Do they think he can be the guy he was before or not? Is Denver looking to rebuild or tread more water?
