Trade to 5 for Jarace?

[default]

Pistons don’t need a player like Sexton… they’d likely have some interest in Ochai… my guess is the cost to move up to 5 is at least one good pick plus 9. If it’s less than that then go for it. If it’s more I pass. I don’t love the target here… if that is the target just wait until 9 and take BPA. I don’t hate Walker but I just don’t see him worth the cost of moving up.

I am not caught up yet this morning, but I expect an "Ochai's #1 hater" comment coming soon.

Pistons could definitely use a Sexton, moreso than 90% of NBA teams.

if you were charge, would you trade up to take Jarace? again, not asking if the Jazz should, would or could do it, but would you, Saint Cy of JFC, make that trade?

I would

I would

to clarify, you'd rather give up assets to move up and take Walker than stay at 9 and take JHS?

Depends on if I think I could trade back up to take JHS while also doing the Jarace trade (which seems possible according to Givony, or at least there have been some discussions).


But if the hypothetical is one or the other, I guess I would stay and take JHS.

I have been saying for awhile we should trade up for our guy instead of taking leftovers. If Jarace is our guy then let’s ****ing do it.

 

[Elizah Huge]

There have been a handful… Luka obviously… Jarrett Culver was another. It varies wildly. The cost is usually one good pick… so would you do #9 and 2025 Cavs pick? Maybe? It requires a willing seller… there are teams that make bigger offers that are rejected.

If they’d take 9 and Ochai I’d do that… if it’s 9 and an unprotected future pick I will pass… if the target is Walker anyway, but that is a reasonable, fair offer that is in line with historic comps.

So if we move up to 5 I will say it is Ochai/28/9 for 5 or 9 and a future pick for 5.

Ochai’s #1 hater doing nasty work…

It sounds like Detroit would likely want both 9/16.

thanks for the honest answer.

I guess if they really think Jarace is a complete stud and great fit I would support it. My own uninformed opinion is that the cost would be too high, and I'd probably rather get someone else at 5 anyway. Seems very unlikely Walker would be there at #9, but if Black or a twin was,, I'd just as soon take them with no added cost.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I still like Cam Whitmore more. Walker would be a great get, but I don’t want to pay a fortune to move up to get him. A reasonable trade up would be the preferred pathway to get whichever prospect they really want.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Jarace isn’t getting past Indiana at 7 it sounds like. If he is our guy we need to trade up.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Sounds like we have some solid ranges for prospects now (not accounting for trades where someone purposefully trades in front of a range)

Walker: 5 or 7
Hendricks: 7-12
JHS: 13-16
Wallace:10-16
Amen: 4?
Ausar: 5-9
Whitmore: 5-9
Black: 7-10
Scoot:2-3
Miller: 2-3
Bufkin: 8-13
Dick: 10-17
Bilal: 9-16
Lively:10-15

I’d rather have the 16th pick than Ochai

I am also team “don’t trade up unless the cost is negligible” If Cam is there I just take Cam 10 times out of 10.

Sounds like we are good with Cam, Ausar, Black, Walker… one of them will be there. Hendricks hasn’t been linked to us except by locals right? I’m obviously cool with him too.

Sounds like Detroit would as well lmao.

Jarace could be Millsap with passing chops and a three point shot.

Millsap was Millsap with passing chops and a three point shot.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Detroit would prefer Sexton to Ochai. They don't want more players they have to develop. Sexton is a ready made scorer, something they struggle to do (28th ranked offense).

Ausar hasn’t really been linked with us either more like his floor could be 9. I really think Jarace/Cam/Black are our guys and we want to end up with one of them.

Millsap was Millsap with passing chips and a three point shot.

Millsap is a pretty great outcome for Walker… but everyone is a plus version of a really good player this time of year. I mean our own Tony Jones invoked the name of Kawhi Leonard with Jarace. I don’t see it but it’s silly season.

That’s cool, I’m not trading Sexton and 9 for 5.
