You know what's crazy? We may be about to trade a 1st for Jeremy Lin. A player Demps would have signed if he hadn't already paid Solomon Hill $12 million. But it gets better. If you choose Ennis and Lin over Hill, not only do you get to keep that 1st, you might be able to replace Hill with Simmons for the MLE. There is a question if for similar money Simmons would leave the Spurs, but you could offer him a starting job so I think there's a chance.

Hill + Lin

or

Ennis + Simmons + Lin + 1st

Somehow I had managed to forget the whole Ennis opportunity cost situation and put it out of my mind....Now I want to throw up.

EDIT: To make it worse, had you done your alternative scenario, having Lin would provide more leverage in negotiations with Jrue. Since you wouldn't be up shits creek if Jrue bolted.
