With the way Jason Smith has been playing and his expiring deal, we might actually be able to get a 2nd rounder shipping him to a contender
Think we will be trying to get as many future picks in this and future drafts as possible with the roster we have
I think we should keep Cole Aldrich because we own his early bird rights and could resign him with the vet min cap hold, in order to have the FULL MLE next season, so he is a pretty big asset for us this summer
As for our waiver/D League pickups, (no team is going to give us 2nd rounders for D Leaguers, regardless of how well they are currently playing with exception to Galloway of whom we likely would like to continue to develop if he continues to play this way)
I am torn between calling up Orlando Sanchez and Onuaku, as we would need some CHEAP roster spots this summer, and each contract from 500k to 1m, could be the difference in being able to put lure an attractive duo or trio of talents
However, we run the risk of losing out on a solid rotational player with decent upside for just 500k more as well
Thanasis
Early
Tim Hardaway JR
Probably have some sort of value, while I would put Thanasis as un untouchable catagory because of his lock down potential and high ceiling
Even if a team offers us a late 1st rounder in this draft, I would rather keep him, we need players that are CHEAP with his type of upside
The I don't know if teams will give us assets back catagory include
Acey
Larkin
Pablo
Travis Wear? with Lance Thomas and Lou Amundson (I can not believe I am saying this) but they make Wear expendable and we likely will be looking at more upside players anyway, though I don't think there actually is a market for his services, despite his ability to stretch the floor and high IQ, he doesn't have a high ceiling and isn't a player to target for contenders to utilize in the play offs
