MOST You Would Give Up and for Whom

Ok, so the draft starts playing out. Every GM is open to a deal if the price is right, but things move fast. You are told to only submit your BEST offer. No negotiation. They will take the best deal on the table or draft at their pick, depending on said offers. No time to be cute or submit an offer you like, but knowing deep down you would give up more if it came to it. Again, only your best - and your best offer should always make you a little nervous. Both sides need to feel like they won, and lost. With that said my absolute best:
1. Chet - I would give up 8, our pick next year (top-1 protected), and the Lakers 2024/25 pick (top 2 protected) to move to 1 or 2 to get him. Risky, sure. But I would do it.
2. Paolo or Sharpe - I would give up 8, next year pick (top-1 protected), Hayes or Kira (their choice), take back a not great contract (example, if its Kings they take Hayes and we take back Harkless, or Holiday, or Davis...whoever they dont like), and swap rights in 2026 (which means they could swap with us or Milwaukee, unprotected)
3. Jabari, Murray, Ivey - 8 plus next year's pick (top-2 protected)
4. Daniels (with Indy, if we know Portland is taking him) - 8 plus Hayes for 6 and Bitadze
What about you guys?
