Yeah, all things equal with the pick and stuff, I take Arthur over Faried any day of the week, especially with our roster.
I've always liked Arthur and felt he's been underrated and goes way beyond his paltry stats. I don't think he can play huge minutes, that may have always been his downfall, but for us that's perfect, still allows RHJ to see plenty of time, no matter which one starts and they can play alongside each other deeper into games.
Arthur and a 1st for cap space would be a major coup for this off-season. The problem is it seems like Denver wants a team to take on both of those guys for a pick. Tbh, it's unreasonable, but not that unreasonable. Both are flawed but solid, average type rotation players. As it stands right now they have about $13 million in cap space. To sign Hill they probably need about $22 million minimum for a 4 year deal, or they're looking to give him similar to Millsap over 3 seasons, so they need about another $15 million.
I still don't see them being all that great next year, especially how stacked the West is. They may very well miss the playoffs again. If the pick is something like only top 2 protected this season, then maybe it goes up to top 5 or 6 protection, but eventually becoming unprotected, it's so-so value. If Marks somehow gets a 2nd 1st out of it, then it's gravy.
Denver's draft moves are just that much more confusing though. Move out of a spot to take a small forward or guard, at lower cap hit then the extra salary they traded for added to the mid-20's pick and then selected another power forward, as was the guy they got in the trade.
