I voted something else. I would propose the No. 1 for Willie Cauley Stein and the Sac lottery pick.

He is a clear upgrade on interior D, that will not get lost in switches. He boosts our rebounding and I reckon he will be smart enough not to be a black hole on offense (stick to setting hard screens, rolling to the basket and passing to an open teammate​ when on the floor)

Considering that the Sac pick is already subject to getting switched with Philly, that would probably mean trading #1 for WCS and a pick in the 5-7 range.

No thanks.

We have plenty of young role players.  If you get #1, take the guy you think has the best chance of  becoming a franchise cornerstone and don't look back.

Definitely a weak point for my proposal. Still if we somehow get a better lottery pick, or keep the No. 1 pick in the process of getting WCS, would you do it. As much as he may be a role player, he plays a role we need help in very badly

Let's trade quality for quantity because we have too much of the former and not enough of the latter?

What we need are more underage project role players.

There's no way a team would give up 3 and 5 in this draft for 1.  3 might be Ball or Fultz.  You might be able to do #1 and Jaylen Brown for #3 and #5, because 3 is a tiny downgrade from 1 and Brown is a significant downgrade from 5.   Might have to do #1 + Jaylen + Yabusele for 3 and 5.

I hope you are not a GM. Actually, I hope you are a GM with a lot of assets that is just anxious to deal with Danny Ainge.
I wish he was a GM in my fantasy basketball league.

I see Fultz/Ball/Jackson as a virtual tossup, so I would definitely take this deal and get an extra Monk or [insert top lottery prospect] for the trouble of having a tough three-way choice narrowed down by the opposition.

I might do it if Ball was off the board, because I don't want him on the team.
