could he go ahead of Bagley, Young, Bamba? Porter?

I would LOVE to find a way to get another top-10 pick and grab Mikal Bridges -- he's one of my favorite players in the draft. High floor, potentially high ceiling, hard-working, jack-of-all-trades, 100% Rick Carlisle guy... There's a good chance he's sitting in the top-3 when people re-draft this class in 5 years.

The only way you get another lottery pick is giving up Smith. I'd consider it if he didn't play a crucial position and the player you replaced him with could be a primary ball handler.

Yeah, I wouldn't give up Smith to get Mikal Bridges... That's like firing your coach to maybe get a 25% chance at landing the #1 pick.
