Draft night Idea BOS SAC DEN

[MikeJelly]

Sac In: Lawson, KO
Sac Out: 6, Stauskas

Denver In: 16, 33, Celtics 2016, Stauskas
Denver Out: Lawson, Faried

Boston In: 6, Faried
Boston Out: KO, 16, 33, Celtics 2016

Why Sac:
- Need a stretch 4 next to Cousins (KO)
- Get their point guard that they desperately want in Lawson (Also a George Karl favorite)
- They seem done with Stauskas and invested in Mclemore

Why Denver:
- Denver is an absolute mess and they will hopefully be going full rebuild around Nurkic
- They get 2 first rounders, an early second rounder
- Stauskas could still be an excellent 2 in this league

Why Boston:
- 6 gives us a shot at Winslow or WCS
- Faried could be an absolute force off the bench with Crowder (Imagine the hustle!)

For Sac:

Lawson
Mclemore
Gay
KO
Cousins

For Denver:

7: Hezonja
16: Jerian Grant
33: BPA

The numbers don't come close to working.  SAC needs to send out a lot of salary to afford Lawson on draft night.  And SAC only has multi-year contracts to send out, so that will make the deal, which is a little tough for Denver to begin with, completely unpalatable.

Faried's an incomplete player.  a lot of hustle but has a number of flaws as well.  don't see the fascination for bringing in another undersized PF, especially one that can't shoot.

Yeah, I can't see Denver having much interest in any of the handful of bad contracts SAC has, not without more assets in return at least. They'd probably rather have Wallace's contract.

I can see SAC being a legit trade partner for us on draft night though. They NEED to build a team that can make the playoffs this year, and we have guys that fit their holes. Sully or KO would be great next to Cousins at the 4, Turner gives them a versatile ball-handler which they desperately need and AB would be the perfect back-court defensive presence on a team seriously lacking one.

I think that SI mock wasn't that far off. I think Sacto seriously considers an offer like...

BOS: Jared Sullinger, Evan Turner and #16
SAC: Jason Thompson and #6

Or if Sacto is willing to go all in and/or DA wants to keep the cap sheet clean...

BOS: Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk, Evan Turner, #16 and #45
SAC: Ben McLemore and #6

Certainly a possibility to trade up with SAC though.

seems like its a possibility. props for creativity

I would sign up for this, but if the real interest for Sacramento here is Lawson and Denver is over there looking to move Faried and Lawson for new foundational pieces, well, I think Sacramento cuts out the middle man and simply offers #6 to Denver for Lawson.

Agree with this.  I think Sacramento and Denver could work out a deal without us, I don't know why Denver would prefer what they're getting to the 6th pick.

Lawson is  not worth a 6th IMO.

not a fan of trading Sully but I have to admit both of those deals seem equitable to both teams.  hate taking on Thompson though.

agreed.  Denver would have to kick in more.
