2019 NBA Lottery And Draft

[The Q]

Idk if the lakers can trade Ingram at this point for health reasons.

But the Knicks can offer 3, Knox, Mitchell and dsj.

I’m not sure what the lakers have to offer is better than that.

 

[Black Adam]

If the Lakers are drafting for need, they should trade back and draft Bol Bol IMO.

They need a C badly

that part for REAL. they need one very bad imo...

 

[flyerhawk]

They might even be able to keep a couple of the kids if they add a couple of future firsts along with the #4.

I think the Pelicans will be almost obligated to demand a king's ransom from the Lakers if only to save face.

 

[trojanfan12]

Who do we take at 4 if we keep it?

ESPN is saying Darius Garland.

 

[Black Adam]

That is no where near enough LOL Knox LOL

gotta agree. Knox will be good. THAT good, though...?

not seeing it...

Ingram's health issue wasn't that bad. small blood clot issue, but should be good to go now...

same as I was seeing last night. and he's already signed up with Klutch, sooo...

I agree. The reason that I think they can keep a couple of the kids is that, if memory serves, the Pels didn't have a lot of interest in Lonzo.

Obviously, if you're the Lakers, you'd like to keep Ingram and Kuzma, but that's not very likely at all. But if they could keep Lonzo and Hart or Kuzma, and still get AD...that would be really good for them.

But, end of the day, you give the Pels whatever they want and hope that the addition of AD will entice another top FA.

Yeah, it was structural and corrected with surgery. He shoulod be ready by training camp. It's not a Chris Bosh situation.

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

Yep, small market New York got screwed and the big market teams like the Grizz and Pelicans win #1 and 2

RIGGED

Yeah, what about the Lakers??????????? Once again the NBA helps Lebron. Total fucking bs

out of those I think i'd rather keep double K's. but if i'm on the other end of it he'd probably be the player i'd want to take from the Lakers...

 

[trojanfan12]

The last thing in the world I want is for the Celtics to get AD but the Celtics still have plenty of ammo to get AD if they want to.

But how much are they giving up for a potential 1 year rental?

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

This will lead to even MORE tanking. Now you will have teams tanking the last week just to try and get in the lotto.

The Knicks also have the picks they got from the Mavs. If they wanted to, that would be 3 1st round picks plus whatever kids they wanted to offer. That is the best option if the Pelicans want to build a massive infrastructure of young talent.

Knox hasn't done much yet. I mean he was ok. Pretty good offer.

At 3 that will most likely get you R.J....good luck with that. BUST imo

 

[flyerhawk]

This seems to be a common refrain for Laker fans.

If the Celtics keep Kyrie and want to make a run for a title next year, then they make the trade. Honestly, I think most teams believe that once you bring in a player and they have success with the team, they will want to stay.

 

[flyerhawk]

If that's true, the Celtics are out. They can't trade for AD with Kyrie still under his current contract.

His current contract ends on the last day of this season. Which is a few days after the last playoff game.

 

[DJ Fieri]

ESPN is saying Darius Garland.

I saw that and it surprised me since PG isn't a need if we keep Ball.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yeah....he's out of there IMO.

Irving?
