I'd have a standing offer with Lottery teams of the Lakers pick + either #30 or taking on salary for their pick.
I think a pick in this draft is as good as anything you could reasonably hope to get for that pick. If OKC is getting a good pick like that and unloading three years of Caruso, I'd want #12.
Let's say that plays out and you got #12 and had the intent to snag the best SG available, would you be open to seeing if Christie + #9 could get you up a pick or two. Like Christie + #9 to the Kings for #7?
I really want Mara. I think having him down low would make Cooper's penitration lethal, because bigs would either have to play back or leave Mara open for a lob.
