    As much as I like D-Mo, yes. Too much value to pass up. Then I would flip it.

    I'd trade Motie for a Top 10 pick and take Tekbo, without hesitation.

    Question is, would any team trade a Top 10 for a Lithuanian center who didn't play much last season?

    Is this a serious question?

    I don't. I don't give up on a 7 footer that runs like a deer.

    Draft choices are pie in the sky, people value the unknown more than the known

    Yes, people do. Those people include the GM's of many other teams that we can do business with.

    The same was said of Motiejunas and Valanciunas.

    No way, this draft is extremely weak at the top. A lot of the high lottery picks would have been mid 1st rounder's in last year's draft.

    This.

    For a team like us that's posturing ourselves to add possibly two max players (one of which almost certainly would be acquired via S&T), do you really think DM would pass up the opportunity to acquire such a valuable bargaining chip?

    Or, hell, acquire the pick and flip it for DeMarcus Cousins.

    Oh my God, are you kidding? Of course I would be ok with that. I'm genuinely shocked 35% have said no so far!!

    I would even give up two of our PF's for the number 3 pick, let alone the one who probably has the least trade value of the bunch right now.

    You either trade it, or just take Trey Burke if Orlando takes Mclemore.

    ...only because TJones looks so good; and i trust Morey to find the best player in the draft at #3.

    The salary cap implications are why I said no, you can keep D-mo and still sign Dwight, the 3rd picks hold would require him to be dumped for next to nothing.

    I think it'd be very easy to flip the #3 pick for a decent package that doesn't bring salary back.

    Brain says yes. It would be a steal for his current value and a high pick is easy to package in a trade for some proven talent.

    But I like Donuts' work ethic and skill set. Even in "win now" mode, you need to have young prospects to work with if you want to be a successful franchise. (that's not called the Lakers)

    Whatever I vote yes.

    Would I trade him for #13? Probably.
