I get the argument that OKC has too many picks in general, but not sure they are not thinking the same regarding value of 9 vs 12 and 17. My guess is that this would cost 30 as well. Are folks still interested in trade down if its 9 + 30 for 12 +17?
I would be willing to look at this scenario if we can also swap seconds to get our pick back. So 9+30+48 for 12+17+37. Dallas probably has to throw in a future 2nd OR Dallas has to take some salary and does not include 30.
If we pulled off this type of deal giving us 12; 17; 30; & 37 how much salary is that worth? Say the trade for the 12 pick is 9 & 37 + future considerations; how much salary would we have to absorb to have 17 for 48 come our way as well.
I would feel better about this type of dealing with Lindsey as GM working with Masai as I felt the trades were better under Lindsey's influence. But maybe this is Don Nelson all over again and the first big night for the new GM sets the franchise up for years!
