Which players are available for trade that wouldn't be worth a lottery pick, but would still carry first round pick value?

So who is available and worth picks 15-30 essentially?


EDIT: What If I made it picks 10-30?

Possible sign and trade for Santi Aldama

I don't think Dallas will trade PJ Washington for a pick in that range. But I could see them trading him to a team that provides a pick in that range to a team with a guard for Dallas.

Maybe Gafford has value at the tail end of that range? And if Dallas keeps Washington, I could see them dealing Gafford in a similar idea, where they aren't taking the pick but using it to get guard help.

Lively might also have value around the top of that range, but I don't see Dallas trading him at that price point. I think they will gamble his health works itself out, but I would expect the market to price the health issues in.

I think that's it for Dallas. I don't think anybody else has value in that range.

Impossible on multiple fronts.

1) Not worth a 1st
2) Free Agency takes place after the draft

Off the top of my head...

Nic Claxton
Coby White
Collin Sexton

Can Jrue still land a lotto pick?

Daniel gafford
Derek Lively(his injury concerns lowers his value)
Anfernee Simons
Colin Sexton
Nic Claxton
PJ Washington(just like with Coby White it's possible he's worth a late lottery pick)
Ayo Dosunmu
Onyeka Okongwu
Keon Ellis(could be worth a very late 1st round pick
Malik Monk

Depending on who the Raptors draft we could have a glut of guards. Dick or Agbaji could be available in that range.

I don't Okongwu, Ellis, or PJ get moved for a later first unless it's part of a bigger deal. They're worth more than that to their current teams.

Really good and realistic list.

Most of these players are either expirings or a bit overpaid for their current production.

Yeah Kings are not moving Ellis for that.

From the Pacers the two obvious ones I see are Obi Toppin and Bennedict Mathurin. Either could be easily available; Pacers need to cut some salary to re-sign Turner, and Toppin is the clear guy to move. Mathurin could also be available.

Obi isn't worth a 1st.

Mathurin is.

Would Pritchard be worth a late 1st taken into some teams MLE or TPE?

Would Hauser be worth a late 1st if swapped for useless expiring salary filler?

Pritchard, especially on his contract, is easily worth a non-lotto first. Hauser I don’t believe is worth a first, but a collection of 2nds.

I don't think anyone on the Warriors fits that description. Podz maybe?

Steph, Jimmy, and Draymond wouldn't be traded for a non-lotto first, Kuminga is a FA, and no one else is worth a 1st.
