But how?  Pickup Amir/jerebko options and include them in the trade?

It won't be possible on draft night. You rarely see draft picks chosen that far ahead. Isn't this actually illegal

DeRozan and KD

AB and JJ go to OKC for Ibaka

We cash in the treasure chest for Cousins while keeping Smart and Crowder to lead the bench.

IT, DeRozan, KD, Ibaka, Cousins
Smart, Crowder, Mickey

Fill in the rest.

Wiggins was drafted last year and then traded to minny after the draft for love last year

Not a big fan of Ibaka. I'd prefer to keep Bradley and JJ in this case. I could see JJ starting instead of Ibaka and Bradley coming off the bench with Smart and Crowder would be a hell of a great defensive second team.

It's all about KD and DeRozan recruitment. I too would rather keep AB and JJ. Use AB off bench like you mentioned. But would you still be able to recruit DeRozan and KD keeping AB who takes up DeRozan PT and not getting Ibaka KDS bud.

I think if we happen to land Derozan and KD we'd have to look to trade IT. KD and Derozan are natural scorers.. Derozan's style is also too close to IT's.
With those two guys we would be better off with a true pass first point IMO. Or at the very least we move IT to the bench and start Rozier?

If we by some miracle add two max guys, I think one of them will be acquired in trade. Other than Durant and Horford I'm not sure what other guys I would be happy maxing out to come here.

It all boils down to what KD wants to do. A lot will depend on how close they come this season. If close, I could see him wanting to re-up with OKC and RW, with an option to leave after another year (when RW becomes a FA).

In this scenario, we wouldn't need to send out any salaries to match because of having capspace.  Teams over the cap can only take in salary less than or equal to 125% of what they're sending out, but since we're under the cap, we can just absorb the entirety of his contract into cap space

It's like how the 76ers took in Wallace's contract after we traded it to GSW: there's no need to send out money unless you are or, as a result of the trade, will be over the cap

Love and Durant.  Two of Ainge's targets from the get-go.

Ainge always gets his men.

Don't see the cavs helping the c's land durant by sending Love our way.....

Bad feeling that kd will either sign with wizards or stay at okc (after getting wine and dined by other teams)

But if not we have as good as chance as anybody in the league  to obtain him .

Wyc should bring him in and take him to the centre. All dark , then slowly illuminate with a sell out crowed chanting kd kd kd playoff style. 

That should hit a pressure point

It is not unusual for teams to agree to the principles of a trade on draft night but not actually consummate it until after the July moratorium, after it becomes legal.  If the trade involves draft picks, team A drafts based on the instructions of team B and the draft rights are included in the deal.
