I'd like to get a feel for what people here believe Nemanja Bjelica's value is at this point in time if we are able to strike a trade for another pick:

Certainly worth a later first.....to the right team. He is a great player to add to a contending team where they need productivity right away.

Alone he's not worth a lotto pick, but coupled with another asset (#31) he could be.

I'd say something between A. and B. - in the low lottery to high non-lottery range, like 11-18.

That being said, he's a much more proven commodity than anyone available in that range, but then again, there is a price to be paid (probably around $5M per year versus a rookie contract). So it's a real tricky thing. I would prefer we signed him, but it means we probably have to unload someone that might be difficult to unload (Bud or AB for example).

Would anyone do Martin and Bjelica for Thunders pick?

I am sure the 76ers would take AB and Bud for our seconds.
