Around SBN: Tiger Woods, Tony Romo Grouped Together At Pebble Beach

What would you trade/do?

As a caveat, this is all rumination and somewhat mindless thinking from my end. The focus is summed up in the poll below, so for those of you who don't care to read this little passage of text, skip to the bottom and just enter your opinion -- or better yet, post your iteration and explain.

Nobody knows what the Thunder will do come Draft Day. Probably not even Presti himself, though he no doubt has some different potential possibilities lined up. As armchair GM types, we get to sit back and throw out some ideas. Over at Daily Thunder they posted the potential idea of trading up to snag Cousins (or failing that, Monroe). To move up that far, it's pretty obvious that we'd have to trade a real asset (example: Jeff Green), some good pieces, our draft picks, and then perhaps take on some salary and -- heck, while we're at it -- the kitchen sink. Herein lies the question posed to the reader: What would be worth it? Who would be worth it? We'll keep it simple and just discuss moving up to that 4-6 range for Cousins or Monroe.

Concerning a trade for Cousins...

The way I see it. I would assume picks would be involved.

Untouchable - Westbrook, Ibaka, Durant, Harden (our future starters)

Possibly – Maynor, Sefolosha, Green (but only one)

Likely – Collison, Mullens

Yes!!! – Weaver, White, Krstic (take all three if you like)

would not trade Durant, Russ, Ibaka, Harden, are untradeable IMO.

Green, Maynor better bring back equal value

everyone else is a yes.

Let’s say the Nets follow through on the rumors of taking Wes Johnson at 3, then Minnesota at the 4 pick is the likely target since they need a 3 man and Jeff is a natural 3.

Jeff, 21, 26 to Minn for 4 and something else.

other question is who do you take Cousins, Favors, Monroe?

seems like too much to me unless Love or Jefferson were coming back and dont see that.

Personally, I’d hate see Green go. Yet, I’d be very interested in this deal.

would Sac take Green 21 26 for Thompson and 5 pick. Draft Monroe and make Ibaka, Thompson, Monroe the 4/5 trio.

by Michael Gleich on Jun 22, 2010 10:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

Not a bad scenario. I’ve been big on Monroe for quite a while.

I’m scared of Cousins. Favors or Monroe would be a hard choice for me if they are both there at 4.

by Michael Gleich on Jun 22, 2010 10:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

perhaps

we send Jeff, 21, 26, and maybe collison (valuable 2011 expiring deal
for 4 and either jefferson or love?
I honestly think they might bite with the idea that they could continue 2 package picks and add some cap room next season…

or we could just offer then maynor for the 4th pick…i hear minny is looking for a pg! haha

by kpugh on Jun 22, 2010 10:43 PM CDT reply actions  

Mullens...

I know they are looking looking for a center. If we offered Mullens perhaps they’d be interested. Mullens has to be an upgrade to Darko, right?

Green, Mullens, Collison/Kristic, 21, 26 for 4 Jefferson and Gomes/Brewer?

by Michael Gleich on Jun 22, 2010 10:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

also in any deal where we gave up green and our 2 1st’s have to target Pondexter or Crawford at 32.

by Michael Gleich on Jun 22, 2010 10:47 PM CDT reply actions  

I’d be more interested in a back up SF in that scenario.

Q-Pon is a great athlete, but he may not be available at 32.

Darington Hobson is more versatile and has a better handle.

most mocks have Q-Pon in round 2.

dont see Hobson getting out of round 1. heard knicks looking to buy a 1 for him ala toney douglas last year.

CDR traded from Nets to Mil for 44 pick.

by Michael Gleich on Jun 22, 2010 11:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

Some interesting tweets.
Milwaukee will give Nets the 44th pick in Draft for Chris Douglas-Roberts, league source tells Y!. Now Jersey holds Nos. 3, 27, 31 and 44.

Bucks won’t give Nets 44th or 47th picks in Douglas-Roberts deal, team source says. Teams working on a future draft consideration.

by Michael Gleich on Jun 22, 2010 11:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

Well i guess this only adds fuel to Wes Johnson to NJ at 3.

by Michael Gleich on Jun 22, 2010 11:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

That makes sense.

Trade just went down

Sent the 32nd pick to Miami for Daequan Cook and the 18th pick.

by ThunderHorn on Jun 23, 2010 5:03 PM CDT reply actions  

Is that...

Presti or Ed Helms?
