4 for 8/10 and 17? Atlanta gets Culver. NOP can grab Hayes/Bol/Goga and someone else at 17.

I don't see Beal being moved right now. Same with Holiday but for different reasons.

I'm thinking Atlanta wants to keep at least 17. Even then 8, 10, 35 may not be enough.

I meant 8 or 10 with it likely being 8. Not both picks. The difference between 4 and 8 isn't huge this draft. 17 may not quite be enough so you can add 35, but adding 10 would be an overpay IMO. At 10 Atlanta could grab Hayes/Clarke/Bol/Goga and get a big to pair with Collins to round out their roster a bit more.

YOnas signing with the Pels would be so gangsta.

YOnas, Zion, Ingram, JRue and Lonzo. Whooooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ah, yeah didn't catch that. That's exactly what i'm hoping for. As long as we keep one of 8 or 10 I'm fine with picking up 4.

I think they should sign
Vucevic, Jonas , or Brooke lopez

Get Hunter or Culver with 4

They'll have to add something to that 4th if they want Beal however (4 + Ingram depending on their views on him).

I think they should wait and see if the knicks go for culver first however.

Pelicans don’t need another rookie imo. They already have a great young core.

Trade Jrue for assets and package with the 4th and Lakers future 1st for an already established young star ala Beal, Booker (longshot), Lavine, D’Angelo whichever one you can get

I don't see Hawks give up three picks for that pick. Dallas only gave us one in Donic/Young trade, so we not going to give them three

Hawks wants to keep 8 trade 10 and/or 17.

Because Nurkic is (or was pre-injury) the better player (especially on defense) while being on a value-contract (and expectedly cheaper than both Valanciunas and Vucevic).

That's true... but Nurkic will be waaaayyyy too expensive for New Orleans to obtain. The amount they'd have to give up to get him, wouldn't be worth it honestly.

I meant only one of 8 or 10. Should have made that clearer.

Pelicans should trade Ball, draft Garland and sign Brook Lopez, this team will need some shooting.

I now believe Brandon Ingram could be a star player for the Pelicans if he recovers from his shoulder injury. He did have a great second half of the season.He become a better score a a solid defender.As for Lonzo Ball,I still see him as a bust,but he has a chance being that he got traded from the Lakers.Also the 4th pick could be valuable for the Pelicans as they could use that pick to trade for Bradley Beal or another great player.

Anti Chalmers · Post #36 » by **Anti Chalmers** » Sat Jun 15, 2019 11:57 pm

I’m excited about this Pelicans team. A core of Lonzo/Zion/4th pick is gonna be interesting to watch.

Idk why they or others are in such a hurry to rebuild them up so quickly.

Post #38 » by **Duke4life831** » Sun Jun 16, 2019 12:02 am

If I'm the Pelicans I don't want to try and rush a rebuild. You're sitting very pretty right now. Instead of looking to trade #4, I would be putting Holiday on he market.

And we thought the Lakers spacing sucked last year...

The right play is Beal. Don't see the Wizards making a play though unless they're tempted with a couple first round picks.

If they can get 8, 10 and a lesser pick out of Atlanta I think it makes sense. Walk out of the draft with Zion, Jaxson Hayes and Nassir Little with Ball, Ingram and a lot of future firsts too.
