It has been reported that Mitch Kupchak is willing to trade away the Lakers first round pick for a good offer. Also, they would like to acquire a pick in the mid/late first round. (I still don't get why but whatever)
Trade: DeRozan+20th pick for the potential top 6 pick.
Why we do it: DeRozan's my favourite player in the NBA but nobody's this stupid to think about trading a first round top 5 pick in a loaded draft like this and we have to take advantage of it. The pick will be 1-9 for sure. If the pick lands top 3, we could get a Parker or Wiggins because I have a feeling Embiid may go top 2. But the pick could land at 6 and we could get Exum or Smart.
Why Lakers do it: They get a 24 year old all star who is constantly improving every single year. When Kobe's gone, they've got a capable SG to lead them. And I think DeMar would be happy to play for his hometown team in California. Also the 20th pick can be a valuable player if they draft with it correctly.
Thoughts?
