Would you give up the 5th pick last year for the 16th, 28 and Evan Turner?

No. The Magic might give us the 5th pick if you threw in our Dallas pick+James Young+Zeller but unlikely.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

16, 28 and Evan Turner to Orlando for the 5th. Two of Orlando's beat writers have recommended shopping the pick, and - truth be told, they are about set with Vucavic, Payton, Oladipo, Tobias Harris and Channing Frye. Turner is a helpful wing, and they can pick up a few guys to spell the bench lower down. They don't need anymore starters.

Not a bad haul for a pick Orlando doesn't much need.

And then we take S. Johnson, or J. Winslow, as we need a super aggressive SF more than just about anything.
WDYT?
Ainge should consider adding a third pick in first round 2015. Target scorer, post defender, and point guard. Not give up one. This draft may be the deepest for a decade. A combination of Johnson, Portis, and Jones plus a max free agent would set them up nicely. Lyle may provide you with two needs. Cayley-Stein is not worth the
Risk. He can't space floor or hit free throws. There are great picks to be had in top 20. All freshmen and Sophmores who would be lottery picks in a year. Great value here. Trade for more and sign free agents. Very few on present roster are indispensable. Smart may be only one. Give Stevens youth and time. Celtic fans deserve it!
