The picks seem solid enough.
But, I have some questions about the trades:
* Does Denver keep Landry, Thompson, draft Wood and keep Faried? That's four power forwards.
* The Warriors would probably waive Anderson and Haslem. But, would they keep Chalmers? It seems like they would be better served to keep Livingston and Barbosa as backups to Curry. So... what do the Warriors really get from this deal?

The warriors get to lose the 15 million owed on the last year of Lee's deal and save themselves from a heavy tax burden. And no, the warriors won't do this deal, because all three players have contracts for next year, and they don't have three roster spots. 4 million in tax payments isn't a good return on the #30 pick.

Would be very ideal Draft night for the Nuggets.

My thoughts would be Denver trading Faried but post draft.

I see Wood needing to develop so his playing time is near nothing.

Roster:

Mudiay / Green
Hezonja / Foye / Harris
Gallo /
Faried / Landry
Nurkic / Hickson / Thompson

Hickson expires or could be traded for say back up PG or SF... Wood is drafted for future starting forward. The deal just gives them a building potential star in Mudiay

This team obviously is the worst in the NBA but future wise if everyone and out
Mudiay - Hez - Gallo - Wood - Nurkic could be a very good team or a complete bust for years to come

I agree I just can't see a team taking Lee on. I like him in Miami tho as a 6th man. Maybe a 3rd team to take Birdman and Chalmers. About 9m in cap plus pick 30 and another future pick. Maybe the Jazz who can use a point guard and back up center. Warriors just take on Haslpem

Jazz get: 30, Birdman, and Mario Chalmers

Heat get: David Lee

Warriors get: Udonis Haslem

I haven't run the numbers but I believe there is more cap space available than quality free agents to spend that space on. Point being, a few teams may be left empty handed after the big free agents finds homes. I'd bet one of those teams would be happy to take on Lee for a year.
