Wiseman/Looney/Smiley/Mulder/7/22 GSW 1st(top 4 then 2 2nds)

for

Ross/WCJ*/5

*or Mo Bamba

Warriors trade up and grab Scottie Barnes at 5 who becomes the do everything first guy off the bench. Also pick up Ross who is nice veteran depth and can start while waiting on Klay and WCJ(or Bamba) who can provide some center depth. Sign a vet center in FA, get Klay back, make good use of 14 and let's go.

Magic drop back 2 spots to pick up Wiseman gaining 2 more rookie years on a center and one with a higher ceiling plus getting a future 1st. They then draft Keon and Jalen Johnson(or Kuminga if OKC passes). They've now potentially added 3 future starters to Isaac and whichever of the three young PG's is ultimately the answer.

Normally Wiseman and the pick might get you from 7 to 5, but there'a consensus Kuminga has a good bit more star potential than anyone at seven and I don't see the Magic giving that up.

Very solid offer, though.

Pre-Draft 2020, the Bulls offered #4 + WCJ to move up to draft Wiseman. I don't think GSW suddenly feels WCJ is a better option now.

** NOTE ** - GSW just hired for player development Dejan Milojevic. Milojevic's past prize pupil was Jokic. Future workouts with Kevin Garnett & David West are also planned to occur once Wiseman is recovered from his injury. Lacob recently stated we would have to be blown away to consider moving Wiseman.

WCJ is a throw-in in this deal. Hardly the reason the Warriors would make this deal fwiw. The idea was to get up to 5 but since Orlando will be tanking and GSW trying to win, sending Ross and WCJ to GSW doesn't hurt them but helps GSW with some depth.

Idea may suck, but WCJ isn't central as I thought was obvious by saying he could be swapped for Bamba. :D

Nothing wrong with the value, but I don’t think the Warriors are pressed enough to trade up unless it’s for one of the big four. Not Barnes or Kuminga. Especially not with Wiseman as the bait. For him, you’ll need better now contributors than Ross and WCJ

I think it would depend who GSW wants at 5, but I could see them doing it.
