Alternatively, maybe if Chris Wallace bluffed hard enough about Boston's 
lust for point guard Tinsley at #11, we could get Golden State to consider 
swapping both their two 2001 picks (#5 and #14) for ours.

I'm not necessarily sure what great things would be available with those 
two GS picks, but it may be worth considering. Golden State badly needs a 
point guard. (I guess on paper Boston badly needs one as well).

As Mark Berry illustrated in his Detroit scenario, other GMs will leverage 
the needs of other teams into improving their own draft positions. We could 
have done that last year, for example, by bluffing Dallas that we would 
draft Courtney Alexander.
