Do you think Bradley/16/23 is something they'd consider for the #6? Because the more I think about it the more I like it.

It's not terrible, considering Bradley is probably about as good as what we could expect from Hield/Murray/Dunn in 2 or 3 years, but you can't expect to get anything worth a crap with the 16th and 23rd pick. Getting 1 good role player out of those two would be best case.
And Bradley isn't a PG, and is too short to be a SG, but i feel confident in Jrue guarding opposing SG's.

I think if Hield or Dunn is there i'd rather take the chance on them becoming great, rather than getting Bradley, who we know won't be great but will be good, and a crap shoot at 16 and 23.
I know that if you hit on one of the 16/23 picks and get a starter out of it, that would be great, but Bradley has only 2 years left on his contract, and will want more money, and like I said, he isn't a PG to replace Jrue if we don't resign him. Been in the league for 6 years, best year he averaged 2.1apg.

History tells us we have about a 30% chance of getting a star with the 6th pick, and a 30% of getting a solid starter. so 60% chance of getting at least a solid starter with that pick, which we know Bradley already is.
at 16/23, there's about a 5% chance of getting a star, and a 20% chance of getting a solid starter.

I wouldn't be upset with that trade, but i think i'd rather take the risk of the draft and hope Dunn or Hield becomes a star.

I'd prefer to keep the 6th pick, if we really think that pick has true potential to become a star, and find a way to trade into the 1st round, although that may be far fetched.
