Let’s say Doncic is still available with the 4th Pick. I would offer Augustine + Biz + our 6th Pick for the 4th Pick + Parson + McLemore. After that trade I would call Miami and offer them Fournier + Ross + Vuc for Dragic and Whiteside. Also try to get another PG in the draft (ideally Okobo).
 
Dragic/Mack/Okobo or another Rookie
Doncic/Simmons/McLemore
Isaac/ Parson/Simmons
Gordon/Isaac/Parson
Whiteside/Birch/FA (Speights)
 
I think Dragic is a good mentor for Doncic and still a good basketball-player.
Whiteside has some issues. But he is a good rim-protecter and after last year with Miami he has something to proof.

 

Miami would ‘t even entertain that trade.  No need to do that Memphis trade first either.

I will be ok with sexton but not at 6. I think we can move down and unload Biz contract in the process and still be able to get him. New York, Cleveland or even charlotte might be interested.

I will throw up if we get sexton and young is on the board. Young will make Gordon an all-star: Steve Nash and Shawn Marion. Ask the Wolves about passing on curry. 

Pretty much

I'd be alright with Sexton but this scenario also worries me.

I'm lukewarm to Sexton at 6 in a vacuum but I have no doubt he would endear himself to the fans quickly just given his intensity.  I mean this is the dude who very nearly led a 3-on-5 comeback AND developed a habit of reporting directly to the exercise bike when he was subbed out late in the season -- not because of an injury -- just to stay warm and amped.  That's either in you or it's not.

Also, I had a dream last night that Doncic fell to us at 6.  Only detail I remember about the prior picks is that Porter went 3rd.  I was so juiced by that that I momentarily woke up, realized it was a dream, and was disheartened.  Then my brain remembered where it left off, and with Doncic available at 6 we still picked Sexton. 

Magic basketball!

Don’t let it. Young isn’t Nash.

After reflecting and digesting this, I have come to the conclusion that this is just Woj's opinion or a smokescreen.  Weltman and Hammond have been incredibly vague and silent about workouts.  A day or so ago Weltman said they have pursued trading up, trading down, or staying at 6.  I like all options on that table.  If this is truly a leak from the Magic there is a reason beyond the obvious.  This appears to follow the premise that we will draft a point guard at 6.  I still think and hope they will draft BPA.  I think Weltman and  Hammond have been thorough and I will trust the process, not that I have any choice but I am excited.

I agree. This is when smoke screen is released.

People will come see young play and we need something as fans to watch. I don't see sexton creating a buzz.
