Maybe Jackson for Cleveland's second first rounder?

why would you ever even consider Jack being traded for a late 1st? Especially in this draft

[TattoodCats4life]

Thinking about this, Jackson or Diaw + #19 for #4 and #54 (or try to steal away #32?)...(use 54 for toss someone into D-league, or perhaps an international who can play in euroleague for a while). Use #4 for Kanter, #9 for the best available small forward, 39 is high enough to get a marginal talent or perhaps a steal due to injury this summer etc.

Yer i like it for Diaw, love it actually. I hear Mini are interested in maybe shipping their pick aswell. We could get D will at sf. Maybe try do something with jack or diaw there aswell?

Minnesota has been quoted to say they don't like the #2 pick and are open for a trade where they move down and pick up a veteran at an area of need. If they beleive Jack can play the 2 for them (and he can), then would you do this...

Jack, #9, #19 for #2 overall?

I know it is a lot to give up but it might actually be realistic. I would rather give up Jack, #9 and #39 but they probably wouldn't do that.

Again, would you pull the trigger on Jack, #9, #19 for #2?

I think at the very best we'd get an expiring for Jax. In no way do I see him as an incentive for any team in the lottery to go back in position.

Boris might get a late 1st and a slightly worse contract.

agreed. jax will not be moved for much. i think the only way we get a deal with minny is if we give them dj aug. they may do that because they are still looking for a pg to fill in for rubio until he comes over. dj is a risk free way to do that because he is still on his rookie contract and will be able to be extended on the cheap. i would strongly bet dj, 9 and 19 would get consideration but i would hold out for dj and 19. i would settle for dj and 9 for #2 and randolph or beasley.

if we can somehow guarantee that we get reggie jackson out of this draft, then i would be okay with trading dj and #9 to move up to #2 to take williams, and then snag jackson with our 2nd pick. we would be arguably the youngest team in the league, but would definitely be in an okc/pdx kind of position setting us up for the future. i also get the feeling that minny might take kanter at 2, so maybe utah at 3 is where we might also need to discuss trading with.
