Whats the best you think they can get for any combo of the following assets
Pick 33
Pick 34
Nurkic - $19.3m expiring
Josh Green - $13.6m 2 years
Josh Okogie - $7.75m expiring

If you want to get crazy can throw in Mark Williams or Miles Bridges, but no additional assets.

The Jazz will obviously send John Collins to the Hornets for 33, 34, Nurkic, and Okogie, but that's not going to be interesting to the Hornets. Maybe John Collins for Nurkic and Josh Green and 33 and 34 would be more interesting though you may need to do some salary balancing here.

Primarily seeing where the market is at value wise, whether that’s solid rotation player or better pick + flotsam. Not really looking to see how many future 2nds this could get because we kind of know the answer to that already.

Ideal scenario would be for a better center but don’t want to limit this to better center only packages

Personally not a fan of Collins but probably close value wise. Maybe 1 early 2nd not 2?

What would that solve for the Celtics?

Yeah, that would be perfectly fine.

Okogie and the 2nds to Team X
Nurkic to Boston
KP to Charlotte

That saves Boston a ton of money

I endorse this position.

I'm of the option that Charlotte's biggest need is just more credible NBA rotation players. So I'd look to take a good, older guy that should be able to immediately play at #33 and use the other pick to turn one of those 3 guys (or possibly 2 for salary matching) into a playable vet.
