I cannot even remember the last time a team got a recent former top 5 pick in a trade (I guess Edmonton in the Savoie deal would be the closest) but maybe Conroy can pull it off.
But if folks are looking for Conroy to trade major pieces in November or December they probably are not as concerned with top value. Can’t really remember the last time a veteran for futures trade of any significance was made between November 1st and Jan 1st.

How much is a top 3 pick in a strong draft worth in trade value, and do you actually think we have a chance of making up the difference between a top pick and a 10+ pick by waiting for better offers?
I don't, I see it as extremely unrealistic. Even if we offered everything we're getting in the possibly upcoming trades, we probably still couldn't get a top pick in this draft with that package.
What I'm seeing is the organization letting go of the highest price available for them because of basically just good vibes.
