Would suck if BK gets this guy

Hampton evaluates his own strengths and weaknesses – RJ Hampton: I think a lot of my weaknesses are just defensive schemes and learning where to be at all times on defense, locking in full-time on the defensive end. I feel like I’m athletic enough to be a great defender, so just locking in on that. I think a weakness was shooting, but I’ve been in the gym the past seven months with one of the best shooters all-time, so I’m getting that down pact. I think probably my biggest strengths are attacking downhill, making plays for other guys, getting to the basket. I think I’m the most athletic guard in the draft, but I think I’m the fastest person in maybe the NBA when I get there next year. – via Michael Scotto @ HoopsHype

This aint the 2016 or 2018 draft

I think this draft could be like 2014, 2015, or 2017.  Meaning in 3-5 years you'll be completely re-ranking the players in a re-draft.   With that in mind, i'm not trading up, but i'd be open to trading back and picking up more selections.  You want to have more chances to land a player, not give up capital to target a specific player as the player you target is likely to be similar value to someone you find further back.

I would do that trade with the picks straight up.

Awful idea, imo.
Knix already have lots of mediocre youth to develop.
Knix need quality more than quantity at this point.

And we already have the #27 pick (so #26 doesn't get you anything better)
Adding in #8 & #27 is enough.  In fact likely to take minutes from Knox or Franc as it is (potentially both if we draft Vassal & Kira/Malachi).

If there's someone you love in the 10-14 range, simply pick him at #8.
And BOS' target, Okongwu won't be there at 8.
If we were, we should draft him.
But if Okongwu is there at 8 and that's who BOS wants, then you get them to give us #14 and Robert Williams (or maybe Grant).  Then I'd consider it.  Though I'd still rather #8 (and Okongwu).

#14 picks

http://www.mynbadraft.com/nba-draft-picks/14th-overall/140509/

When choosing between the history of #8 picks and the history of #14 picks the winner is clear.

I had such hopes for that guy.

Okongwu, Deni, Devin, Killian, Williams, and Haliburton, along with Wiseman or Edwards if they drop, are guys you keep the 8th pick for unless someone wants to give you a stupid deal.

Saddiq Bey is the mid lotto target just past the edge of this list.
