What young, productive player would you trade a top-five pick for?

Victor Oladipo is a name I'll throw out there. Any other suggestions that *might* make sense?

The salary cap is going way up, a solid rookie that you can keep for around 5 years on a sweet deal is the most valuable thing by far right now. No way would I do that

Oladipo would be another athletic player with a high ceiling and questionable shot. Unless the player being acquired can shoot the three ball at league average or better I'm not particularly interested in trading.

Does realism matter because I'll take Drummond if it doesn't. I'm not sure how many of the quality young guys on rookie deals can be had. I'd take Bledsoe from the Suns for a top 5 pick (3-5). I'd take Beal for a top 5 pick (3-5). I'd take Noel for a top 5 pick (3-5). I'd take Cousins for a top 5 pick (only one I'd do up to the number 1 pick for). I'd take Gordon Hayward for a top 5 pick (3-5). And that's probably it in the semi-realistic world.

I'm torn on this one. Would you move Wiggins to the 3 and Victor to the 2? A Rubio-Wiggins-Dipo perimeter trio would be solid defensively, but offensively it does nothing for us since teams can just pack it in like they do now. I know Dipo's 3-point shooting has been inching up since his rookie year, but does anyone believe that trend would continue with us?

This is a bit of an obscure one, but I'd love to have LaVoy Allen on this squad. He's the perfect dirty work/defensive-minded/low mistake PF/C that we could use, especially with that second unit. Go look at his On/Off numbers over the years and the guy is almost always a positive on both sides of the court.

He's under contract with Indiana for another couple of years at $4M per year - what a bargain. Obviously I wouldn't want to trade a top 3-5 pick for him, but I'd be willing to trade a player like Shabazz for him.

I agree, but that might fall in the not realistic category. I have to believe Utah feels set with Favors and Gobert as their frontcourt of the future. Gobert was such a great pick in hindsight.

Your right. Plus favors is lock in on a ridiculous good contract(for the jazz). The jazz have quietly build up a very promising team.
