What is the Kings Lotto Pick Worth?

[Jespher]

The rebuild has come full circle. The Kings are finally terrible enough to earn a high lottery pick in this years draft, and everyone knows it. This is not a deep draft by any stretch of the imagination, so the only realistic chance at an impact player is with one of the first few picks. Can the Kings use the leverage with the trade deadline swiftly approaching to move the pick for some proven talent that wll help the team down the road? Amare Stoudemire or Chris Bosh come to mind, as we could maybe move Miller + change and the pick for them. What value do you give the Kings pick(s) this year?

Guys like Amare and Bosh are free agents after next season, so there is no guarantee that they wont walk from our team after 2010, in which case giving up a lottery pick for them would be a waste. There are other guys around the league who are in longer deals who would be worth that trade for us, but i highly doubt their team would give them up for a some expirings and a lottery pick in a weak weak draft.

This is logical, unless you are Cuban and want Kidd for Harris and multiple first round picks.
