Would you trade both picks for pick one or two?

[jaketwice]

Let's say we get the fourth or fifth pick in the draft. Do you package the Atlanta pick (or Brooklyn pick) to move up to one or two? Does the winner accept? I think the Bucks, Jazz, or Nuggets have to consider that offer, given how many needs they have right now.

What if the Sixers or Orlando made a godfather offer of the two top 15 picks?

[fitzhickey]

Wait, is it 4 or 5. Big difference

[Donoghus]

I'd trade both picks for a top 2 pick in a heartbeat.

I think there is separation outside of the top 3.  Getting a top 2 pick guarantees one from Embiid/Parker/Wiggins.

I just don't think the winner or 2nd pick accepts, though.

[Quetzalcoatl]

I think you would have to do it, but it is tempting to keep both picks.  Players like Willie Caulie-Stein (who I used to hate but now am warming up to), Dario Saric or Jusuf Nurkic could all fall to our second pick.  If we had Exum and Nurkic I would be ecstatic, although I think you'd have to trade them for Embiid or Wiggins if it came to it.  Still, it would be a hard choice.

I would trade the 4th or 5th along with the BKN/ATL pick for the 2nd pick in a heartbeat....

As an alternative -- suppose we finished in the top 2, and Philly got knocked down to 4?  What, if anything, additional would you want if they desired to jump to #1 or 2?

Nerlens Noel.

Nope.  In the NBA it's--say it with me, folks--quality over quantity when it comes to draft picks.

Nerlens Noel.

This is also what I'd want. 

I should note, when I said "if anything", I was thinking that some people wouldn't want to move under any reasonable circumstance, not that some would be willing to be nice and let Philly into the top 2.

[LooseCannon]

Would you package Sullinger with the fourth or fifth pick to move up?

[D.o.s.]

Would you package Sullinger with the fourth or fifth pick to move up?

In a heartbeat.

In a heartbeat.

You're that confident there's a drop-off after the Top 3 that you'd trade Sullinger + Dante to move up?  really?

[Smokeeye123]

Thats a tough one. If Ainge thinks Parker is the next Paul Pierce than I could see it. I don't think whomever drafts first or second would ever trade it though. I trust Ainge.

I don't think we'd draft Embiid because we're getting Jahil Okafur next year at #1 

[PickNRoll]

In hindsight, Sully would probably be the third pick in his draft class behind A. Davis and Lillard.  So, you'd be trading a 4th and a 3rd for a 2nd.  You can't give up Sully.

[celticmania]

I think the consensus 4th best prospect (Exum) is as good a prospect as the 3 guys projected to go before him.....the big drop off is after the fourth pick. I would pick him, trade Rondo and pick Zach Lavine with the 17th pick from the Nets, maybe use Olynk to move up because i expect Lavine to move up draft boards during workouts... An Exum/Lavine backcourt could be scary good in a few years.
