Like everyone here my brain is going crazy with trade ideas and draft picks. lol I came up with an idea, and not sure where to put it so I'll put it here.
Step 1 call Bird tell him to hold off doing anything for George for about a month.
Step 2 proceed with draft as normal. Maybe hold the Suns and Knicks hostage for Jackson and squeeze another future pick trading down a spot, and then take Tatum with the 4th pick.
Step 3 trade Crowder (maybe D Jackson if needed?) for a future pick to create max cap space. Don't renounce Kelly.
Step 4 sign Blake Griffin
Step 5 call Bird back and say we can trump the Lakers offer of Randle and the 27th and 28th picks. Sign and trade Kelly and our own picks in 2018, 20, and 22. Maybe give them swap rights in the odd years, and some second rounders. If push comes to shove maybe 1 or 2 more immediate assets. That should easily trump the Lakers offer. Once George is here playing with these other guys he will love it, and not want to leave.
That's it. Lol
