    Given all the conjecture of whether we were better off making the playoffs or getting a lottery pick, I thought it was worth discussing if it's likely we trade in to the lottery?

    We need to retool, we have an abundance of guys that could play roles for other teams that don't necessarily help us- or have worn out their welcome.

    There are packages that could interest other teams. I don't think Durant is any chance to come.

    Morey and Les would be wise to get on the phone as soon as the lottery is drawn.

    No need to trade into the 1st round just trade for Troy Daniels

    I wouldn't mind trading Bev or Ariza for a good pick that has a player available that we like. Ala Leonard for George Hill deal.

    Lakers win lottery and trade #1 pick for Harden, then sign Durant in free agency.

    i'd go the opposite route, we could trade a young asset or two (kj/dekker/2nd rounder) in order to get immediate help at the PG or PF spot.
