Ok obviously this all hinges on DMC being made available. If we get him the goal needs to be to compete right away. Picks are nice but if we get Cousins we are out of the draft and develop stages. I'd center the trade around guys we can lose and fill the rest in with picks.
Sully, KO, Young and however many picks it takes to get DMC.
We have all of our own and 2 Nets(plus the right to swap picks in 2017), 1 Mem, 1 Dal, 1 LaC, and 2 maybes from Minny and Philly. We also have a lot of second round picks.We have to keep a pick every other year but we could still give them up to 6 future firsts.
It gives us:
Cousins/Zeller
Bass/Jerebko
Turner/Crowder
AB/IT
Smart/Pressy
And because we can match or sign Crowder at the very end (only a 1 mil or so cap hold) we could still sign a max player.
We could further sweeten the deal for Sac if we knew what FAs we could get. For example if we knew we could get Pierce or Middleton we could add Turner into the trade.
Before you say I'm a "cock eyed optimist" remember i said this hinges on Cousins being made available. What other team could/would offer a better deal?
