I don't think 2 years of KG is worth 2 lottery pick. I'd offer this package...
Zaza Pachulia
Josh Childress
Marvin Williams
Lorenzen Wright
Speedy Claxton
for
KG / cheap roster balance player
See if anyone outbids that. If so? So be it. That trade pretty much gives them a couple of starters and some bench guys BUT we actually save money by moving Claxton, we can target BPA (Yi?) at #3 and maybe look at best PG/C available at #11. Crittenton? That trade would give us some short term star power and reduce redundancy. Who outside of maybe Chicago could/would offer a package better than Marvin/Chill/Zaza?
Minnesota would have
Foye / James / Hudson / Claxton
Davis / Childress / McCants
Marvin / Hassell
Zaza / Blount
Plus #7 pick to look for a starting PF. They could look at either Brandan Wright, Al Horford or Joakim Noah.
We have..... Crittenton / Joe / Smith / Yi / Garnett with little depth. We can use marginal cap space on the short term to add a veteran wing and a veteran big to come off the bench. What veteran wouldn't want to play with Joe / Smith / Garnett?
I KNOW we are getting a future HOF player here for basically a lot of clutter and potential BUT how many teams would offer more? I don't see Charlotte trading away their young talent. Chicago is a team that could certainly beat our package. Phoenix could beat our package with some sort of Shawn Marion / Boris / Barbosa deal. I think Portland could as well with a Randolph / Webster / Aldridge package. I just don't see those teams doing it outside of maybe Chicago.
Basically my point is, if we are going to have to give away our future for 2 years of a player no matter how good, we shouldn't have to give away both our lottery picks.
You don't want to give up two lottery picks but you are willing to trade a recent number 2 overall pick and recent number 6 overall pick?
Glad someone else saw that. Plus, I think KG needs to go somewhere like Houston where he doesn't have to be the #1 option. I feel he is better suited as a #2 player. Would it work with JJ? Possibly.
