Is it too greedy to trade Sessions, Gomes, Brewer, plus Utah/Char for an established player and #6 in the draft? Probably. Maybe there's a team in desperate need of a PG, that also needs to clear salary, and has a good veteran they want to dump. Unfortunately most of the good veterans that interest me are wings.
I hate him probably more than anybody, but maybe Philly completely falls apart this year and wants to dump Dally? Dally and #6? Yeah, that's probably asking way too much. But if anyone can, the Kahn-man can.
If we could acquire 2 of Johnson-Turner-Henry in the draft without losing any of our core players, I'd be ecstatic. We have enough attractive assets for other teams that we shouldn't have to include Jefferson, Love, Flynn, or Rubio(not going to sell low on him). The question we have to ask ourselves is whether we'd rather have money in the offseason to sign a high priced free agent or if we'd rather build through the draft. Any team that deals a top 5 or 10 pick is going to be asking for a lot in return, so we'd probably have to deal away our expirings.
I like that Philly trade for Dalembert. Yes he's way overpaid, but he's a big man that can D up so he fits a position of need. Plus we get a draft pick so what's not to like? There's no guarantee that the money we'd save for the offseason would go to good use anyways. We'd probably have to over-pay any free agent to sign with us.
Wouldn't it be something if Kahn was able to acquire 2 top 10 picks in consecutive years?
