Does Kennard have any value as an expiring and a shooter? Does any team have a trade exception where you get a future second for him?
Asa Newell. Haven't seen much of him but he is a type of player who I find hard to evaluate.

I think Young is tradeable if he opts in. For this trade they should rebuild his value and take that risk.
With Kennard I can see a contender wanting his shooting off the bench at the deadline. 2nd rounder picks sounds about right.
Newell caught my eye in the draft process. When looking at the draft I assumed we'd be picking the 10-12 range and was looking at guys on that level. He was an interesting upside pick in my opinion. Adding a 20 year old 6'10" guy with that athletic profile would be huge. My favorite comp for him is John Collins.
