Its another pipe dream but Jimmy Butler or Paul George are players I should also be aiming.
But again the Lakers and Sac should be the realistic targets
I will never understand when posters say "[Insert Player] is garbage!" and then a couple hours later say "We should trade ["Garbage" Player] for [Consensus Star] of [Probable Top 5 Pick]." Am I missing how those two statements make sense?
Edit: Not even trying to pick on Calw, its a common thing here.

Pipe dream, what is hard to understand.
Derozan for a top first round pick plus garbage and salary fillers is the most realistic move.
I don't think the Ted Stepien rule applies on the Lakers 2017 pick
Seems to me there is a lot of complications surrounding their picks bc of this rule, the seven year rule and obligations to both the Sixers and magic. Unless, you're talking about the Lou will pick? Which is why I keep asking which pick, in regards to both teams. And then there's the $10m+...

I reiterate that the rule does not apply on the Lakers 2017 pick
The first round picks have projected salaries of 5-6 million, maybe more so it's not hard to balance.
"...the Lakers will also be obligated to surrender a first round pick to the Orlando Magic in 2019 — but only if they fail to land in the top three of this year’s draft.
Why? Because that pick is tied to the Lakers’ obligation to the Suns (now Sixers) due to a couple of conditions. One, the Lakers must first satisfy their trade with the Suns (now Sixers) before they can transfer their first round pick to Orlando.
Second, if that pick does indeed end up being in 2018, because of the Ted Stepien Rule (trade rule that has since been amended), the Lakers will be unable to trade first round picks in back-to-back seasons, thus not allowing them to trade the 2018 pick to the Sixers, then their 2019 pick to the Magic. Instead they will surrender two second round picks: 2017 and 2018 to the Magic.
If you’re asking why they didn’t just trade their 2020 first round pick with the Orlando Magic to avoid this whole mess, the answer is because teams can’t trade first round picks seven years out because of the aptly named “Seven Year Rule” (which has also been amended)."
