for whatever reason that draft pick seems to be burning a hole in dell's pocket
I think there might be a little echo chamber effect making us think that. The Pels being linked to the best player on the trade market doesn't necessarily equate with the pick burning a hole in their pocket. Fortunately most of the players available for trade are guys Gentry probably wouldn't give minutes to anyway.
The Pels also kind of have the 8th seed as their ceiling. They have enough horses to get the 8 seed but even adding a Millsap probably doesn't help you get better than 8th. Demps should do what he's done before at the trade deadline, look for facilitator deals to dump a bad contract like Ajinca and get a useful rotation player back.
I'm still not sure what the Hawks are doing with Millsap. I think they don't want to resign him and will eventually trade him, but can they really tank with a core of Schroeder/Howard? They aren't great but they should be good enough to keep them in the purgatory of the draft that the Kings have been wandering for the past decade. Denver and Atlanta have enough spare wings between them that if they do a Millsap trade it'd be nice to slip in Ajinca and the Philly pick for a wing.

Would this work for everyone?
Pels get - Gallinari & Mike Miller (would buy him out and re-sign Lance)
Nuggets get - Paul Millsap and Tim Hardaway
Hawks get - Kenneth Faried, Tyreke Evans, Alexis Ajinca, Denver 1st and Pels/Philly 2nd
Nuggets want to move Faried, we want to move Tyreke/Ajinca and Hawks want to move the other two - We may have to give up more to get Gallinari (like our 1st) but we are taking an aging Miller in the deal. Denver gets the shooting they want to replace Gallinari and still have Chandler there...also gives them some cap room this offseason if they want to go out and get another wing - Millsap fits better with Jokic/Nurkic than Manaminal too
