This rumor by no means makes it true but if Lawson = #6, what does that say about the value of Avery Bradley's value in terms of returning draft pick?

[Eja117]

Why would Sacramento do this? The 6 pick is going to make almost no money for almost 5 years. Dumb. 

[MJohnnyboy]

I predict a Faried/Lawson to Kings deal for #6 and future picks/young pieces will be heavily discussed on draft night. Whether it will be agreed to is the real question. Depends on what else Denver would want from the Kings for Faried and Lawson.

Because they are the Sacramento Kings, and because they are the Kings, they would do this for two reasons:
1.They are capable of making astonishingly stupid moves.
2.Outside of Demarcus Cousins, their draft history has been pretty awful for the past several years, so they're willing to trade for proven players rather than go with their draft instincts.

if Lawson alone brought in #6, AB would be worth a top 10 by himself

[SHAQATTACK]

Ha Ha ...smh ....they can  't be that stupid.

I would not trade the 16th pick for him much less the sixth.

That's why there are a lot of people that want us to trade him to Miami.

Because they're the Kings......5 points for Gryffindor.

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.

That's not too bad, though I'd like to keep KO somehow if we take WCS at 7. Fairied and WCS would be horrible spacing.

Forgot to add the 28th pick which would most likely be necessary.  Not sure what Faried's value is lately...

I'd hope for Winslow with the pick...He seems slated a bit lower the last few mocks.  Find the big with the defense elsewhere.

bc Karl likes Lawson. They know each others system/tendencies on the court.

the Nuggets will do this trade only if they can get a 1st round pick out of this I would imagine.

Maybe the Celtics can join in on the fun

Except there is a new front office

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.
