re: What can we get with this package?

But at some point doesn't the fan pressure go from "why aren't we winning more" to "why aren't 3 top 8 picks getting more than 15 MPG?" I also wonder how much the TV money changes the pressure on GMs to win. I threw out Sarver's cheapness earlier because in the past he was the type of owner that had to be Playoffs or Bust just to make ends meet. In the new NBA you'd have to have a terrible local TV deal and nearly empty arenas to even come close to losing money.

the guy that needs to be dumped is Brandon Knight. that deal has been a disaster for them.
you can get minutes for a 3 guard rotation of Bledsoe, Booker, Fox and still have some left over for Ulis. somewhere in the 20-25 for a rookie PG with an obvious shooting deficiency is about right.
and that's assuming they can pick Fox. if they trade back for Smith or the French pg, those guys would seem to be less ready to play those minutes.
plenty of minutes for Bender/Chriss. the thing to remember with both of those guys is how unbelievably young and raw they are. think back to Davis's rookie year and the bitching that many of us (myself included) did at times about his minutes. those guys are less gifted, less prepared, and weaker than Davis was then.

Fan pressure rarely, if ever, comes into a convo for GMs.
And again, we are talking about young, young kids who should still be in school. Heck, Devin Booker is still 3-4 years away from his prime, let alone Fox. There is no rush to play these guys a ton, and any coach who wants to keep his job will just make them ride the pine anyway
Not to mention the biggest factor:: If you are viewed as a team who will give away assets at a discount, you become known as that GM around the league, and teams will always try to low ball you. If you stand firm, even when teams know you want to sell, they will know they will have to come correct when they want an asset of yours in the future
There is Sooooo much more to being a GM than the move right in front of your face
