at least its the 2018 pick, right now our only long term guys are AD, Asik, and Ajinca. 2 of which are borderline useless. We swap one of those out with Okafor.

And give up a 2018 draft pick.

I don't think he will be some kind of savior. we're still inconsistent at guard/SF

No but based on the tweets it seems we are still gunning for playoffs. So either cash in and go for broke or ride out this season and actually contend for that pick to mean something. This is not a trade that needs to happen today if we weren't looking to improve to get that spot.

yup, which worries me. we could realistically net a 1st rounder or another quality guard for him...

Unless you have a guarantee from Jrue, creating a bunch of "if this, then this" scenarios for our future seems reckless.

It seems to me if this font office was really not in some capacity trying to save their jobs, this is the sort of trade that could just as easily happen this offseason. Allowing you even better opportunity to get a better draft position. Not to mention know much clearer what Jrue's intentions are.
