Mayo
Maggette/Williams

Gasol/Turiaf
and allow us to invest a pick that fits a more complimentary player (which most players we could get at 6 would be) like Heyward, Babbitt or Udoh.
I guess the way to guarantee we could get a Gasol from Memphis would be if Ellison bought the team and had Jerry West involved in the front office as he used to GM Memphis and is a mentor of sorts o their current GM. That was a huge key to the Lakers and Grizz trade a few years ago.
Yes, I would do that deal.
AR is talented but I think we can all agree that Gasol gives us our BIG TIME big that we are HOPING AR will become... but that is a big if... Gasol is already there.
I think Mayo is a better compliment to Curry in the backcourt than Monta is so I like that exchange.
So we get our big we have been dying for, get a better fit for Curry all for the price of moving down 6 slots. Yes, I DO IT
