    That would be solid for Cleveland

    Sixers won't give them a first rounder as their are too good - no. 9 or so from Lakers and theirs will be around no. 15.

    They could give them a couple of solid second rounders though which might be better value. Might even throw Justin Anderson into the mix.

    Could offer them a 2019 1st if they think they're going to continue to improve, and are sure they'll be a playoff team next year. Or, if they're sure that Evans will elevate them, they could take the risk on a 2018 1st. Sixers are in the 16-pick spot now, but are only like 3 games in the loss-column away from being one of the top-6 teams in the league. They could well give up the '18 and bank on Evans significantly devaluing that offering.

    OKC, MIA and HOU have already traded their 2018 first round picks.

    If the draft was today, POR would have the 21st pick. That's too high for a 30 game rental of Evans. He'd be a great fit, but with little chance of resigning him, it's not worth giving up the 21st pick.

    Nah, I doubt it. Even if they go on a good run now I don't expect them to go lower than 22th pick which is still worth more than half a season of Tyreke. He would be a great addition but they won't overpay.

    I can see them combining the picks they have this year to move up in the draft but not giving away a first rounder.

    That's why I think Celtics have the best shot. Their pick will be late, and they even have the next years Clippers pick to offer as dispensable asset.

    The hope would be a 30+16 win rental but yeah.

    If it guaranteed us 16 wins in the post season, it would be worth our 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024 first round picks!

    We won't offer them a first round pick for Evans.

    I didn't want him anyway!

    Wait, so New Orleans is getting Mirotic and signing Greg Monroe? So stupid.
