    Which is better?

    #25/ET for Wiggins
    (Change of scenery for former #1)

    #25/ET/ML for Heyward/#22
    (Do they really wanna pay GH 31mil for 3 more years when ET/ML are expiring)

    Keep #25 and trade expirings at deadline for Griffin

    I’m gonna go option 3

    I really don't want to lose any semblance of draft flexibility over the next three years for Andrew Wiggins.

    Orlando going for Okeke at 16? He was supposed to be a late sleeper. WTF is going on

    Good value for the Pistons. I thought he deserved to be in the top 10.

    Why would trading the 25th pick hurt our draft flexibility in future years?

    Darn. I would have liked to draft Okeke.

    In fairness, I wrote earlier that I thought he belonged in this range. Great pick.

    That would hurt cap/FA flexibility not draft though

    I really like Okeke.

    And in a draft like this, he's fine value at #16.

    Now is when you pinpoint a guy and go after him. I hope Neil's draft board clears the way-- what can we give up to move up?

    There is going to be some really good talent available at 25.

    Of course, if the T-Wolves would give us Wiggins for the 25 and Turner, I'd probably do it.

    I’d consider trading up for Little pretty soon(3-5 more picks), he’s got crazy potential. If it took Trent to trade up a couple spots I’d be very happy.
