What about Khris Middleton and Derrick Favors?

[jay]

Both guys are around 24 years old and signed to reasonable contracts. Middleton is 6-8 and Favors is 6-10 so they would add much needed size to the lineup.

Something like #3, Jerebko, Olynyk, James Young?

Rozier, Amir, picks for Middleton?  (Not sure what picks)


Favors  Mickey
Crowder
Middleton  Hunter
Bradley  Smart
Thomas


Would really be a strong top 6 players but not much depth after that. Maybe Turner could be kept on board. Middleton is 2 inches taller than Crowder so there would be some versatility as far as who guards who and also on switches.

This would definitely make us better and I think the trades seem reasonable.  Maybe a slight overpay for Favors and a slight underpay for Middleton.

I think both are good players, but I would rather try to draft a superstar at 3.
This brooklyn pick is our most valuable asset right now and I wouldn't trade it unless we get a superstar in return

That's a very good team...but it's not winning anything. Regardless, we're not getting Middleton for that package. I'd love to grab Favors if possible, though.

I agree Favors is not worth the 3rd pick. Favors and Hayward would be though. Send a package to Jazz .
3, 23, 31, 2018 Nets 1st, Rozier, JJ, and KO for Favors and Hayward.

Do they want to trade him?   What about Jae....  Are we trading him.   I thought that they wanted to move a big, and are in love with Middleton?

Kris Middleton isnt remotely close to the trading block in Milwaukee, youd have to overpay by a lot.

[Irish Stew]

Why, exactly, would Utah want to trade Favors for any of the players likely to be available at #3? Wouldn't you want to keep Favors and Gobert together for the next ten years if you had them? I'm not sure about your Middleton proposal since the picks are not specified but I don't think that he's the problem there after shooting almost 40% from 3.

[Evantime34]

I don't see Milwaukee dealing Middleton, he's the only one on their team that can space the floor.

Favors makes more sense to me. If Lyles develops, his 3 point shooting fits better with Gobert by spacing the floor. I think they would want a lot more than we are willing to give though.

While there's certainly some question as to whether some players would be available at the prices you're proposing, from a Celtics standpoint there is a very nice aspect that shouldn't be overlooked -- your proposed team has about $40 million left in cap room.
