    Yikes. If it happens this mortgaging of the future combined with CP3's inevitable decline should make for a dreary couple years ahead.

    4 future 1st rounders is really A LOT, especially for a possible rental, at least two picks there has to be protected imo.

    lol...4 first rounder? is that even possible? i guess we really like PJ Tucker.

    I do think that given the obvious defensive deficiency (which was plain to see on paper even before the season started) making another serious push for Butler makes a lot of sense. Let's face it, how many game-changing players that fill a serious need are actually available? Only one really.

    You can’t trade consecutive picks right ? So it would be 2019,2021,2023,2025 ?

    4 picks for a potential rental? There better be a handshake agreement behind closed door for more years otherwise we will be in a terrible place come this summer.

    It's not only how many are available, it's also how many will be eventually available, Davis will be at some point in a year, but we won't have the assets for him assuming Lakers, Sixers, Celtics will go hard after him.

    Butler honelsty, is probably the last chance we have to add a star with this core.

    Not like Morey knows what to do with first rounders anyways. He uses the first round to warm up for the second round.
