I’m tempted by LaMelo, but of the players left, I think Mitchell has the best chance to make a leap into true stardom, so I’m going with him.

I think we are at a point where basically everything is a coin-flip. You could understand both teams saying no to a swap of pretty much all of these players for good reason. So, that being said, I think contract is probably the biggest consideration in sorting between them all:

(a) who is on a rookie deal the longest, and/or
(b) who is underpaid on a long-term deal?

(a) = Ball followed by Shai
(b) = Sabonis

I'm going with Ball, then Sabonis, then Shai.

Mitchell.

Murray or Gobert; probably Murray even if that is wrong.
