Plan is to do a trade like this, then stretch or dump the other center this summer. Then, trade the 2017 pick for another young vet (think Butler if they get top 2 pick, guys like Fournier and Hezonja if pick is 6-10), and re-sign Jrue

They think this would give them a good team as early as next year and they would still be young enough to continue to grow in future

Stretch and Butler are about the only words you wrote that I approve of.

I wouldn't trade a top 5 pick for anything less than a Butler-type talent.

On the flip side you can end up trading your 2018 pick for Okafor, then not get anything of value for that 2017 draft pick because its later then you wanted and Jrue walks.

Leaving the team with a lineup of: Frazier, Hield, Hill, Davis, Okafor, and no 2018 draft pick.

If that is the plan, this is a disgusting hail mary that Benson and Loomis need to pull a David Stern on.

it's probably best case scenario under this regime and ownership
