in terms of trade value.

In my opinion,

1. Jeremy Lamb - rookie with upside.

2. Royce White - rookie with incredible upside but baggage.

3. Chandler Parsons - proven talent in 2nd year with upside.

4. Motie - 7-foot Euro with NBA size and skillset

5. Dallas pick - unknown potential, possibly the 21st pick in next year's draft and possibly a future lottery selection, you have to value the potential of a future lottery pick.

6. Terrence Jones - unproven rookie who underperformed in college

7. Patrick Patterson - 3rd year player, injured, looks to have more talent limits than other guys

8. Marcus Morris - 2nd year player that showed nothing in his first year

9***. 2015, 2017 first round picks - unknown value that could spike up this list based on whether they involve lottery protection or not. In any case they combined with the Dallas pick should be morevaluable than 3 Nets first round draft picks if Dwight is traded to Brooklyn vs. the possibility of being traded here and walking away after next season.

I think Lamb and White could flip in trade value pretty easily. They are both fresh rookies and a dominant summer league performance by Royce would very easily flip him to the top of this list.

I'm thinking of this in terms of trade value because probably 3 of these and possibly 4 of these will be used up in a Dwight trade. Possibly 3 plus the Dallas pick or possibly 4 of these guys.

I am not including the possibility of flipping Lowry, Martin, or Scola for future first round picks. Just not sure of their values right now. I would think Lowry would actually represent the best value. He should be worth a top 6 protected draft pick from somebody. Scola should be worth a draft pick from a playoff team, likely a pick in the 20's. And Martin....just can't tell. He's an expiring contract. Should be worth a pick in the 20's as well.

Anyways, when you lay out our assets, it should make you feel a lot more at ease regarding these trade talks with Brooklyn. Brooklyn cannot even approach our trade value. It's simply a matter of how much is Morey willing to give up to beat out Brooklyn and is there another team out there that can give Orlando a better rebuilding package of young players, draft picks, and expirings and the ability to take back salary along with Dwight.
