Denver wants to trade Lawson to Sacramento for the 6th pick.

[FreddieJ]

If Denver is willing to take back some of the unhelpful long-term contracts that SAC has (Landry/Thompson/Collison) in addition to #6, that's not a bad deal.  Karl got Lawson to play his best basketball, and SAC is never going to convince a major free agent to sign there.  If a change of scenery gets him back on track, Lawson's contract is a relative bargain the next two years.

Collison is a solid PG, which is one of the reasons this would never happen. Bradley's contract is worse

Well, from Sacramento's perspective there's:

--the good working relationship with George Karl (fits his style etc...)
--the need to keep Boogie happy so he doesn't boogie
--they could go to the playoffs with Lawson, Gay and Cousins, especially if McLemore and/or Stauskas   
   can pitch in.
--they should be able to extract something else from Denver

But I agree with those who who say Sac shouldn't do it...unless

it was Ty Lawson and Kelly Olynyk as part of a three way....Denver gets the 6th, 16th, 28th and Sully.  Celtics get the 7th pick and Faried.

So its Kelly O., Sully, the 16th and 28th for the 7th pick and Faried.  Adjust as necessary with more picks, players....

Edit:  Denver has no shot at the playoff next year and would love to grab Mudiay if he fell to 6.  Sac wants to win now and it makes sense that they get Lawson...plus a stretch 4.

No way Denver trades their 2 best players for an out of shape, injury prone power forward, mid- and late first round picks, and the right to move up one pick. Unless Sacramento really, really wants Olynyk there really isn't much incentive for them to include us in this deal, Denver would surely prefer the 2 top 10 picks.

Lol, no.

But Denver will receive a lot of incoming salary from the Kings. Best to remain flexible.

Sacramento is still short a PF who can shoot the ball.  I know Boogie can shoot but they need another big who can shoot from long range imo, especially with Karl.   
I agree Denver moving up from 7 to 6 is not tons of incentive, unless Mudiay falls to 6.  Denver would love to trade Lawson for Mudiay.  The price is Faried.  And then they get some deserved compensation with picks 16 and 28, and Sully, who despite his flaws is a good NBA player.
