Assuming that we stay at number 5, choose your top 5 moves from the following:

Drafting:

1. Bayless
2. Thabeet
3. Mayo
4. Jordan
5. Gordon
6. Lopez
7. Westbrook

Moving the pick in a package for:

8. Mike Conley
9. Marvin Williams
10. Al Thornton
11. Ray Felton
12. Randy Foye
13. Andrew Bogut
14. Brandan Wright
15. Steve Francis

Some of the trade options may seem far-fetched - simply pick the ones you think are feasible.
My choices would be:

1) Move the pick for Mike Conley
2) Draft Deandre Jordan
3) Move the pick for Andrew Bogut
3) Move the pick for Al Thronton
5) Draft Russell Westbrook

I've seen Mike Conley and I wouldnt swap out a top 5 pick for him.
Since we know picks 1-2 there are 3 options left
Draft Thabeet
Draft OJ Mayo
Hopefully those are my two options.

here is the problem with trading our pick for some of those 'established rookies' like Thorton, Foye & Bogut-

1- you kinda already know where their development is heading - with pick 5 we might luck out and get a franchise/all star talent

2- you move further along to a time where you need to extend these players & escalate salary faster. We need cheap & good players until some of our overpaid crap is gone.
