re: Pels want to move to top of draft, BI to be “aggressively” shopped per Stein

BI + Nance + #21 + future 1st

We don't even have to make it a future 1st. We can use the Lakers pick and our own and provide two picks in this year's draft.

On the one hand, rookies generally suck, and making a move like this signals that we aren't going to try to contend in the next year or two. On the other hand, it does help as a salary reset to enable us to pay TMIII and stay below the tax longer term.

But a top draft pick would certainly be exciting, sell tickets, and energize the fan base.
