Thinking about what sort of deal I am putting to GC for pick 13.
Let's think about what GC want
Well they need to get better value out of pick 13.
Currently it will be eaten by the Lombard bid
I reckon that pick 9 is about where the bid will come which will be 1175 points
Assuming GC has sold 13 that eats up 23 (815) and 29 (653) and gives them back pick 49
But they also have prospective no.1 next year Zeke Uwland (Bodhi's brother) to keep in mind.
They need 2025 draft capital.
They are probably going to sell more picks from this year's pool to build insurance that they get their man.
So how do we play to their interests to acquire what we want, pick 13?
First, we're going to be overpaying a bit, no use complaining, it's a seller's market and plenty of buyers.
But let's make things work.
First, we need a way to get more 2025 capital in the door. Two obvious options
Sell pick 34
Sell a player
These deals will need to happen before the GC deal, so it's got to be someone who a team wants and not an after thought.
This is why I think our first deal is Matt Kennedy and a Future 3rd for his preferred destinations Future 2nd and a back end pick this year for points (Camporeales)
We then add our new Future 2nd to our own Future 1st and offer that to GC for Pick 13 and pick 41.
Gold Coast don't care about this year's draft outside the top 10 and Lombard so I don't see them complaining about the late 2nd.
So now we have pick 12, 13, 34 and 41 and a ton of junk picks as the back of the draft.
From here you can choose your direction.

They will need picks to get Marshall alsoThatās good and I see everyone else also saying GCS will want to maximize the points they get for Pick 13 to match but why arenāt they instead looking at moving up the draft into Top 7 to beat the bid on Lombard? They currently have picks 6, 13, 22 about 28 and about 40 etc. 13 + 22 could get them Saintsā Pick 7 or maybe SOS will want 13 + 22 + 28 which also the Suns would probably pay.
Is there a reason why everyone assumes Suns will trade down instead of up? And for next season they canāt get ahead of the bid so can just use up first and second round picks and thatās fine because they would end up with 2 Top 7 picks this season and another Top 5 pick next season. When you have so many Top 10-20 picks on your list you donāt need to worry about second round and third round draftees.

Marshall is Lions. Suns will need to match Lombard, which is relatively easy with the old system remaining.They will need picks to get Marshall also
