Here’s hoping Caleb either falls to the Hornets if they make the lottery or far enough that the Hornets can package picks outside of the lottery to move up and get him. He may be the perfect addition to the roster.

That would be a dream scenario. I think we all can agree a 4 or 5 with our first pick makes sense right? Unless we don’t end up bringing Coby back somehow, then a backup point guard becomes a real priority.
I would love a big that can defend the post and have some outside shooting ability to pair with Moussa ideally. Maybe that is the future 4 man for us, who knows…

What about Cenac?
I’ve seen enough of Caleb Wilson to see he would be a perfect fit for this roster. But that’s unlikely. Haven’t looked much at the prospects yet but am intrigued by Yaxel Lendeborg. He seems to fit everything we need even though he’s “old” and is in the range of where both picks will probably land.
When I have thought about “all-in moves”, cashing in our stockpile of picks for a missing piece I’ve always assumed that in the context of a proven player. But now that you throw out someone like Caleb Wilson, who I agree would be perfect on this roster, I wonder what type of package would it take to get you in that position. On the one hand it’s not like you’re trying to trade up to #1. More likely #4. If you have a package competitive enough for a proven all time great like Giannis it stands to reason you should have a package viable for an unproven #4 pick. Though unproven in the league i have little doubt that Wilson is going to be a stud. And a team with that pick is going to have different priority values in a trade so I guess it’s unlikely anyone is coming off that pick but I’d be willing to give up anything we’d give for Giannis pick wise as long as we keep our core of Melo, Miller and Kon intact.
I found a pick value calculator that has picks 13 and 20 (current picks) being just over pick 4 value. 
Go ahead and send that to whatever GM has #4. I am thinking it moves you up to 8ish if he were to fall due to the thumb
I don’t think teams are trading back in this draft, right? I mean unless you are maybe Brooklyn….

Man that’s what I was saying. I totally agree with you. I doubt he falls, but who knows. I do wonder if this is the draft to unload draft picks and players to trade up for the high end talent available.
The flip side of that, is that I doubt other teams would be willing to trade away their draft picks. It would have to be a crazy offer.
