I'm Not Even Sure Yi's Going To Be Available At 5

[Belanger, Roger]

How about we package the 5th pick along with Ainge & Rivers and take a
second rounder in return.

The classic addition by subtraction trade.

This brings up an interesting thought.

Everyone was so focused on Oden and Durant that Atlanta and Memphis have
to be bummed at beeing 3 and 4.

If Ainge belives Yi is the third best player available, and that getting
him might, within a year or two, make everyone WAY less upset over
losing
out on Greg Durant (my new name for the two-headed draft monster), is it
worth trading up as far as necessary to get him?  What would it take?

What would you have to add to the fifth pick to move up to four?  How
about to three?  Thoughts?
