You want to trade #10 for a skilled defensive wing/center. Which teams are voluntarily looking to give up such a player? This is the #10 pick. One pick. At #10. Players like Bridges, Anunoby, Brown and company are valued at a player/pick combination that´s probably worth four 1st round picks. Otherwise you are just getting "trash" back.
There is not a single trade that generates more long-term value than just drafting Hendricks/Walker/Black/Wallace. They are exactly what you are looking for in terms of players, but cause you might want to wait three years till they are a 18 PPG all defensive wings, you rather make another short-term decision.
Two years ago....
15/14/1 with 2.0 blocks On/Off +10.5
14/8/2 with 1.6 blocks On/Off +8.4
Players are the same age....
One will cost you THJ+ the 10th pick, the other might get you the 24th pick, but definitely the 38th pick plus McGee out.
