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)

21: Sanders, 26: J Crawford, 32: J. Jordan. 51: G.Vasquez

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.

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

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.

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
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?

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

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.

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.

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

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