Your summary above was REALLY good and I am 100% fine trading out of the draft for the RIGHT long term starter. However, for me to be happy he better be REALLY good.
P.S. They could trade 18 and 31 to get a guy THEN buy #26 to get back in. I would be cool with that depending on the guy.
Well-said.
That kept in mind, while such a trade could net a proven vet, the trade-off is not just age and experience, but contract. If it's between a guy who is a badass on a contract he deserves and a guy who is a badass with some growing pains who is paid far less than his on-court worth, I'm all about the latter. Moreover, I could very well like the guy we get and be extremely pissed off that we had to include 18 to do it if it's a deal that looks fair without including it. Donnie's piss-poor negotiating skills have been discussed here. For example, I'm pretty well convinced we wouldn't have to include 18 to get Porter, whereas on the other hand, I'd be pleased as punch if we gave 18, 31, and even the '25 pick (they probably wouldn't want our bought 26, so we could still use that) if it was bringing back Jrue Holiday, whom I regard as the single best fit in the entire league next to Doncic. Would love Schroder as well; not sure if I like him to the tune of 18, but it's Presti we're talking about, so (shrug).
