The class gets much better if OKC moves on from IH. But, I suspect they figure a way to keep him. Duren and Kessler aren't going anywhere. Suddenly the quality of the class is all about prying Robinson from NYK?
That´s why I made the Gafford for #25 to Lakers deal, cause I saw the same thing you did. There is nothing out there in free agency for the Lakers, except Mitchell Robinson.
I´d offer that deal alone to see whether the Lakers are fully committed to Luka. Luka would clearly welcome the deal. If the Lakers shut it down quickly, it could signal that they are not 100% behind the idea of "Fat" Luka as their new franchise guy.
I think you can get #12 or #17 from the Thunder, IF they pick Hartenstein over Caruso. They can´t extend Dort/Hartenstein and keep Caruso. That´s impossible. So it comes down to Hartenstein or Caruso. I´m afraid, they´ll let Hartenstein walk and just take Mara or Steinbach. That puts them in a much better negotiation position regarding Caruso.
