What is the most we could extract from Charlotte with a swap of #3 and #4?

Probably equivalent to a mid-round pick. Maybe the '27 MIA pick (top 14 protected) they own or another pick they have with less protection but with some volatility.

That’s not a horrible trade for us but I’m not a Keldob Johnson fan - I’d think he probably has negative value in that contract and I’d probably leave that part out as I’d rather have the expirings vs 2 yrs at 17.5m per for Johnson - use the expirings elsewhere and land 5 and 14 for for 3 could make sense.

I think the smart move is take the high upside case in Bailey at 3 and I know that’s a decisive topic but if I move down I’d love to stay top 5 because I want high upside and with VJs defense if shooting and offense come around then he could great same with tre Johnson on other side he has all the shooting if defense comes around could be great. But I’d rather not look at guys like kon or Malauch who scream role player to me. I’d be open to 5 and 14 if they view 3-5 as similar value because we could pick at 14 or package with oubre/drum/ Gordon for a player that fits well too (which I’d have other preferences of Keldon.

Do they have any desire to trade up for Ace Bailey with Brandon Miller already there? Those 2 feel a little redundant. Seems like they’d be happy to draft whoever they like more out of Tre/VJ.

Lamello, Tre, Miller would give them some hope going forward too in my opinion

Ehh I don’t dislike Keldon Johnson as much as you. I don’t think he’s great by any means, but think he can be a very solid role player in the right situation where he’s not relied on as a key offensive option. But could also swap out Harrison Barnes instead…he’s an expiring contract and can still slot in at F next to PG.

I’m all for trading down in general though. I hate the idea of trying to develop Ace Bailey while PG and Jo are still around. I don’t want to use the #3 pick on a forward that is going to stand in the corner as the 4th scoring option for 2+ years of his career. Trade PG and draft Bailey? Yeah I’m all for that, but I don’t think Morey has any thoughts of trading PG.

Supposedly CHA loves VJ. Don't think they move up for Ace.

The Spurs are an obvious team for Ace. Or they could want 3 for a Giannis trade.

Giannis to SA
George, 2, 3, SA 26 1st, ATL 27 1st to MIL
Vassell, Barnes, and 14 to PHI

Maybe?

[the_process]

MIA gets Beal
PHI gets Lauri and 5
PHX gets George
UTA gets D.Robinson, Rozier, 3, 29, and best of LAC/PHI 2029 1st

We're not trading a premium pick for Vassell and Barnes. No thanks.

[the_process]

HOU gets Giannis, Drummond, and Oubre
MIL gets Sengun, Brooks, Gordon, 3, 27 better of HOU/BKN 1st, 27 PHX 1st, 28 HOU 1st, and 29 best of DAL/HOU/PHX 1st
PHI gets Jabari Smith Jr., Nate Williams, and 10

So at work I am getting moved to a new team for a short while which got me thinking. How much is a title worth.

Team A is a contender but they need someone like Maxey to make them a true contender.

Team B: Has a Maxey and is willing to lend it to team A for the playoffs or 1/2 the season on the stipulation that if they do a trade. Team B trades Maxey back to team A after the season/playoffs are over. Team A gets to keep some 1/2 of the draft picks, But if Team B breaks Maxey then they have to keep him or it's up to the discretion of Team A.
Break mean MCL or some other type of injury.

The initial trade could be something like Maxey for 4-5 unprotected first round picks plus fillers to fill out the salary cap. Would something like this work?

Also without their top player Team A has a legitimate chance to "tank" and get a higher lottery pick and still have their star back next season. Your star gets the chance to win a title. But he may like it so much over at Team B that he forces a trade. Well I guess that could also be written into the language of the trade. Player forces a trade to team B then team B has to start the bidding process at the 4-5 first round picks.

You about to get a ring with this new team?

Also, I can't quote anything that says you can't do that, but I can't imagine that's allowed.

Buy low on Lamelo because he has missed a lot of games in the last two seasons?

I'm actually ok with this, not sure how Charlotte feels about moving down a couple spots while losing LaMelo unless they really like McCain.

And because it's still unclear if he's a serious basketball player, or just another street baller.
