Official "How Could We Trade Up" Thread

They don't own their own picks. No reason to tank. If Giannis is willing to stay then they will keep Giannis and make the PO.

That's why I do believe Houston would be the favorites to acquire Giannis cuz they could offer the best package which contains multiple young players like Tari Easob, Jabri Smith, Jalen Green or even Sengun who could not only help them set up for the future, but also remain competitive enough in a weak East so they don't end up giving away lottery picks to other teams. Spurs don't have that. I'd be cheering for Giannis to Houston so we can talk to the Spurs about getting Harper.
 
What about Lauri for Castle and the Spurs #14 pick?
That would give Jazz 5,14,21 picks
Maybe too many picks but Jazz could trade #21 and a player for something else

Spurs would keep Castle over Harper. Castle can operate off ball so he is perfect next to Fox. I'm wondering how much they regret trading for Fox even though they basically gave up nothing for him.

Fox is good now. Spurs need to compete while Wemby is still cheap. They might find a better deal than Lauri, but he makes a ton of sense for them and gives them a good long window.

Yep, Fox is the key to us getting Harper.

1, Lauri fits his timeline and skillset perfectly as the third piece on a contending team.

2, he needs to get Spurs sold on him being their starting PG of the future so they are willing to move Harper.

Maybe something to think about is:

Lauri -> PHI
George -> MIL
Lillard -> UTA

Interesting. I think Lauri may be the silver medal to the team that misses on Giannis (if he gets moved). KD to Miami seems like it will happen imo... and the three way with Phoenix still out there.

I just wonder if Philly knows they are somewhat screwed with the Embiid contract so may not use more good money chasing after bad.

Lauri will be an instant fit for any contending team as the third option who doesn't need any usage%, which is his major advantage over the likes of Booker, Zion, Trae, Morant, etc.
 
Man, if we managed to trade Lauri for #2 and kept #5 I would be ecstatic, that would totally erase the disgusted feeling I've had since the lottery. If we managed to trade him for #3 or even #4 I'd also still be pretty happy.

As it is right now I've been assuming the lottery results are kicking out our timeline way beyond any point Lauri would be able to be part of it, so I've figured it meant we'd be sending him out for like 2 first rounders that'll probably end up in the 20s or something, and committing to like a 5 year tank. Getting a chance to roll the dice on one additional 2nd tier guy in this draft would be amazing.
