Here's my trade idea
Utah trades #3 (and maybe Raja smell along with it)
Washington trades #6 and #18
I would only do this trade if we were planning on drafting a PG with our 3rd pick. Sliding down to 6 still pretty much guarantees us Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker, or Jimmer. And to be honest, it's almost a coin flip between these 3 who ends up better down the road, especially between Knight and Walker. And I, an avid Utah fan, am warming up to the idea of Jimmer. I think he'll be better defensively than people think, although he was admittedly atrocious in college.
If KOC wants to draft Kanter at #3, I would NOT do this trade. I think the drop off after 3 is huge, except in the PG department.
Why would Washington do this? If the are interested in Kanter, they'd do it. They have no need for a PG, and at #6 the best player available will probably be a PG or a Euro.
