cant trade the pick until after the fact! We can trade the player we draft, but not the pick. We can prearrange to pick for Indy if we can get what they want.

Unless, it's Bogut + Crawford for Artest, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

However, that would make it easy for us to trade Ariza and Sweetney in a nice package for our potential big. Now that makes it kind of interesting.

I'd consider something like TT, Ariza and JYD our lotto pick and a future protected first for Artest, Pollard and Croshere and Indy's first rounder this year.

That'd amount to a swap of first rounders this year, so we'd get a pick somehwere in the 16-20 range and could take Channing Frye or someone else. Indy would get a lot of cap relief, a chance at getting a star in the lotto, a good young prospect in Ariza, and a solid role player. We'd get Artest and still have the opportunity to draft a solid young player this year. Pollard and Croshere could be rotation players depending on what we do with Sweetney/KT.

I don't get why fans want Crawford traded. I like the kid and his game I would rather have another shooting guard to take the weight off him and not trade him.
