DEN gets Hayward, Smart, Langford
BOS gets Porter Jr., Harris, Barton
not an easy no, Porter was #1 on my Big Board for the 2018 draft. He's potentially KD lite except he's a elite rebounder. He has the potential to be a superstar and Tatum's equal or superior. So getting him gives us a Big Three for a long time. Which we could have had had Danny not traded the #8 pick for the Kyrie rental. Losing Smart would hurt but if Brad is incapable of having a tough conversation with his players, Smart will continue to jack up bad shots and hurt our offense. Still his salary and impact is outstanding. We're going to lose Hayward anyway and Langford isn't a loss. But is getting Porter Jr. worth two more years of Harris and Barton contracts? I think if there were no injury concerns I'd do it in a heartbeat. You don't often get the chance to acquire talents like this. But there is. If they could replace Barton with Bol I do it. But would Danny and his hubris make that trade? He did after all pass on Bol several times for much lesser prospects. I doubt he'd openly admit what a disastrous drafter he is by trading Langford for Bol even though that wouldn't be the crux of the deal.
