Mikal Bridges was traded for five first-round picks. There is no such thing as equitable value for a player like Markkanen or Bridges in a deal based solely on draft picks.

The Sixers’ lack of young talent and the NBA’s trade market makes Lauri Markkanen an unlikely possibility

I’d be stunned if the Jazz are willing to part with Markkanen in a deal based solely on draft picks. Which, keep in mind, is all the Sixers have to offer . The Nets’ last five first-round picks: Noah Clowney , Dariq Miller-Whitehead , Cam Thomas , Saddiq Bey , Nickell Alexander-Walker . Would you trade Bridges for those five players?

That’s nine first-round picks so far. Put together a squad with Allen, Kuzma, Bey, Thomas, and Alexander-Walker and you might compete for the eight-seed in the East. But none of those five would be a top-three scoring option on a legitimate NBA Finals contender.
