If New Orleans isn't willing to move either Daniels or Murphy I'm not sure I see them as a viable trade partner. The Raps will almost certainly want a promising young player back, and Hayes has basically stagnated as a backup big.
Including Graham in a deal is the Raptors taking back a bad salary, so really it would be JV and Hayes for OG? We all love JV, but I'm not sure that anyone believes that he moves the needle for the team to make them a contender now or in the future. And Hayes is redundant if JV is coming back when we'd also still be looking for minutes for developing bigs in Precious and Koloko.
Don't think anyone should be expecting 3 picks for OG. But Daniels or Murphy and 1 pick might be about right. But if NO really isn't going to entertain those options, I would expect the Raps would just talk to other teams.
