    Would love to get someone of his talent, although he carries that Duke 'curse' with him.

    Since we are more than 1 player away, is it worth it to trade our #7 pick + assets to get him, or better to trade the #7 for potentially a player (say Collins) and get an additional asset?

    Or it's a 4 team deal.

    Utah sends Gobert to Atlanta
    Atlanta sends Collins to Utah and Capella to Toronto
    Toronto sends Anunoby to Portland
    Portland sends #7 to Utah

    Other (smaller salary) players and picks would probably be included, but that's the basic framework.

    You think Utah would rather have the 7 than OG to complement Mitchell and Collins?

    Also..... 4 team trades almost never ever happen.

    True enough. The 3 team version that doesn't involve us at all would make a lot of sense though.

    If Ainge is really running the show, they just might. He seems to really value draft picks and cap relief, which is what this deal gives them.

    Yeah... your version has Toronto giving up two wings for Gobert; @Storyteller2's has them keeping Trent and adding Capela instead. That makes a lot more sense for them.

    Yours also had Atlanta getting smaller and taking Bledsoe's worthless deal; he has them getting Gobert, which I think they'd be much more interested in.

    My idea for TOR was also based on a rumor. I dunno if TOR would give up OG for Capela, and Collins doesn't make much sense for them while they're trying to open up space for Barnes/Siakam.

    Regardless, there is something brewing between these four teams.

    Too much noise to ignore.

    Perhaps... but if they want to compete, having 3 top guys all from the same draft class is a great foundation.

    I mean, they're certainly not Wade/Lebron/Bosh, but it's a pretty damn solid big 3 (assuming Mitchell is actually good enough to be the best player on a contender).

    Collins only makes sense if they think he can play 5 in their lineup.

    Capela is perfect for them, IMO.

    They get rid of Gobert's contract and they get Collins and Number #7?
    That helps out a division rival way too much IMO. I would be pissed

    if John Collins isn't worth the 7 pick than Anunoby isn't either

    Steph, Dame
    Klay, Ant
    Dray, Nurk
    Wigs, Little
    OPJ, Watford

    Poole, Ingles/Winslow
    Looney, Greg Brown
    GP2, Hart

    If we can somehow acquire two of Collins, OG, Dort, Grant using our picks and trades, upgrading the roster, when healthy, contenders?

    I will take the best player in the deal rather than two good players 10 times out of 10.

    It's why we should have traded for Barkley when we had the chance. The best chance we have is my having the players with the highest ceiling. Even is Paolo doesn't workout, his value on a rookie deal at his age is way more than John Collins + another good player. Could always trade him should a star become disgruntled.

    Nurkic is a free agent; so he can't be traded away at the draft.
