Austin Rivers - #21, #22, Brooklyn's 2nd in 2013
Jared Sullinger - #22, future 2nd/cash
Perry Jones 3rd - #21, future 2nd/cash
I think these three guys are the only ones "worth" trading up for. We are not going to be able to move into the Top 12 with just our 2 1st rounders.
If Austin Rivers were to slide to 13 or lower, I am wondering if there is away for Danny to package both firsts, Brooklyn's 2nd next year (which figures to be early 30's), and maybe another future 2nd if necessary to move up and grab him. The more he slides, the less we need to trade. I wouldn't trade 3 firsts here, however, nor would I trade 2 firsts and JJJ...unless Doc really doesn't like JJJ and threatens Danny's life to trade him.
Sullinger, if he is a threat to go off at 17 or earlier, is worthy of losing our 2nd pick. If he slides past 17, I think Danny should hold off, see who bites on him, and then maybe work out a trade after.
PJ3 is worth the 1st of our picks if he goes in the 16-18 range. I don't see him falling to the 20's...too much talent and size.
These 3 are all lottery talents, some who use to be Top 5 projections, that are now threats to reach us at 21. I try to get them if they are slipping but may come off the board a few spots ahead of us.
Under no circumstances should we trade both 1sts for a move up 5 spots or less.
