I don’t know how anyone can say their mock draft is realistic haha, I can say some aren’t realistic but who knows what happens at the end of the day! Appreciate the love!!
Agreed, the trade would make the team overall worse short term and long term bc you’re limiting financial flexibility for the future, especially if no draft capital or younger players come back in return.
Odds of any of these trades happening is slim to none obviously haha. The thought of this one was a more of a retool. Try a different style group if you will. I personally if I was running NOLA, would just try to make it work with BI. While the basketball fit isn’t natural with this group, I think we have seen enough winning from the core that you could justify it.
Grant Williams seems to be a big leader in the Charlotte locker room already. I doubt they’d look to move him this off season with the relationship he’s building with the young guys.
@@Daniel_Barbie I have no clue honestly. I personally have never known him to be that way but maybe. I have no idea who else would be a leader on that team 😅.
@@_AVC_ I think Grant gets a bad rap. In just the few months he’s been in Charlotte he’s done a ton of media stuff and has been seen out a few times with Brandon and Mark. Charlotte has been void of leadership for so long, seeing even the smallest bit of it has been super refreshing.

I feel like that trade hurts New Orleans more than it helps. They are downgrading from each player they move in that deal while also taking on LaVine’s nightmare contract. I think they have to get the 3rd pick in that deal to make it at least somewhat worth it. Otherwise, they’d have to think there’s better deals out there for each of those players.
Maybe. It’s hard to say. I personally view Lavine and Ingram in pretty similar lights. One is a more unique style of player, whereas one is more so just pure buckets. I do Ayo is a really nice addition to the team and more so on the timeline if you will. I do think Lavine is maybe more of a basic basketball fit improvement, but if I ran NOLA I would try to make BI work because we’ve seen good things from him with this group.
@@_AVC_ I think when both are at their best, I’d agree with you but unfortunately Zach’s injuries are the biggest problem with trading for him. His value would be so much higher if his basketball fit was the only worry but unfortunately, I think his health tanks NOLA’s interest.

@@ed8018 Yeah I’d actually say Castle is a more highly sought after prospect because of the clear athleticism and court vision. Castle really couldn’t shoot though 😅. I do think he would find a lot of success in San Antonio though!
Loved the vid! Just a quick question; what actually happens if the hawks take sarr? There is nothing actually stopping them from doing it, only some “light dissuading” from sarr and his camp.

Appreciate you! Well yeah he could always just not do it but I don’t see that happening. My guess is that his camp sees Atlanta as unpredictable in what they are gonna do and just liked the idea of Washington more.
I mean anything could happen, I don’t think there are many picks at all that are locked down in this one. Like maybe Memphis trades up or something? Then maybe.
Do you think Luka Doncic, having that big Fred Flintstone body, could maximize the intimidation factor even more by dying his hair a darker shade--in order to appear even MORE like Fred Flintstone--and, if so, would it then behoove Mavs management to go out and get free agent Luke Kennard to play the Barney Ruble position to Luka's Fred Flintstone?

@@_AVC_ - Yes and, even though most would prefer if Luke Kenard changes his name to Kook LeNard someday soon, until then, teamed up with Doncic, the duo could be Luka & Luke (as Fred & Barney).

Chicago is going draft a guard,they trying collect guards like Pokémon no chance center of the future,only guards are their 'centre' of attention (it doesn't matter who but it should be a guard)
After being so wrong about Brandon Miller last year, there are very few players *cough* Clingan *cough* the Hornets could select that would bum me out. Reed would be super exciting and would help fix some glaring issues (consistent shooting + spacing -we’re bottom 1/3 of the league) but I was hoping for a Castle or Devin Carter to help Melo defensively (we’re bottom 3 in opposing shooting % 😅). Melo can technically guard 2s but I don’t know that he’ll ever be better than average. I have the same question about Reed - Are we getting a better shooting (but worse playmaking?) Terry Rozier with Reed?
Hold on do we really have Bronny James higher than Isaiah Collier due to some inconsistencies? At least he actually showed some inconsistency Bronny didn’t even play.
@@sarahmccoy1941 Funny enough I think the defense will be his biggest calling card early. A lot of his offense was pretty all over the place and inconsistent this year, but man yeah if he gets rolling and gets developed correctly you could really have something!

@@M8trix6363 Oh like only 3/4 of those can start is what you’re saying. Yeah that’s correct most likely. Obviously any other trades could happen after these but the depth doesn’t seem like a problem to me at least.
Dlo is gone in free agency more than likely and gabe vincent was injured/not impressive in his little amount of time. Lakers have there center in davis. They can sign and a backup center in free agency. ( davis is not a 4 and i hope ur not one of those people who say put him there because he cant shoot)
Pelicans would not trade both Murphy and Ingram doesn’t make a whole lot of sense IMO, I think the whole point of getting off of Ingram is because of not wanting to pay him what he wants as well as believing in the upside that Trey Murphy has already showed and the willingness to pay him instead. It’s just confusing because you said Pelicans would be getting off CJ contract when you’re bringing in one of the worst contracts in Lavine, not to mention 3 years 22 million of Dillion Brooks
Also trading away essentially CJ, Ingram, and Murphy for a return of Lavine, Brooks, Ayo would change the look of the Pelicans drastically for the worse current day as well as severely limits your future IMO by getting back no assets/true promising young players
Yeah I hear ya! Obviously the likelihood of any of this is pretty low haha. But the idea is to go through more of a retool. By the end of the trade have a much more “logical” fit basketball team around Zion is the idea. As far as the CJ part, you are getting rid of his contract and the potential of a BI one so that’s where the savings logic comes in.
the trade doesnt have any sense for Pelicans. you lose MacCollum Ingram and Murphy fro Lavine???? Why not williamson and Jones too??????? No way this trade foes on
Ideally it’s more of a retool. I see Zach and Ingram and pretty similar levels just very different players obviously. Ayo (while not as good as CJ right now) is a pretty proven already young 3 and D PG that is on one of the best contracts in the game right now. I think it would be amazing to add him to this squad. Dillon obviously brings some solid numbers but brings some attitude as well. I won’t say the guys going out aren’t important but I personally think these guys are a more natural fit.
@@_AVC_ Lavine is a toxic contract. Bull will be lucky if they dont need to add some rounds in oder to loss him Pelicans need a Center and Guard their objectives must be Garland and/or a center like Allen or a stretching 4 plus some ring protector Tory Murphy is the future of Pelicans jointly HErb Jones. A good trade: Garland for Ingram.
@@ramonrios3496 I presume English is not your first language haha. Credit to you for participating in the comments still my friend! Yeah the Lavine contract is a lot. But it’s no different than what an Ingram contract would be. Garland and Lavine aren’t really that different either. I still think this is a way to do more of a complete retooling.
I'm afraid Zach Lavine does not have that kind of value man... IP, no defense and terrible contract. Bulls would go for this without the 3rd pick just for Murphy, and there is no way the pels are doing this. Just take the Bulls out of this trade and it makes a lot more sense: ingram for brooks tate and #3. I know everyone wants to give clingan to the Bulls, that makes sense and would be great for them, but lavine won't get them more than a late 1st (maybe not even that tbh).
I see what you’re saying. Yeah Lavine was a pretty poor defender early on in his career, but he did have a really big upswing up until the last season. At the end of the day you get him to get buckets though and there aren’t many that can do what he does. Honestly though I think the 3rd pick is one of least valuable things in the trade. These picks are trying to be moved all over the place right now, and I feel like getting a border line all star player as a part of it isn’t unrealistic at all. Thoughts?
