FalconsIn2012 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Wow....Ball, Ingram & Hart along with three 1st round picks to NO Surprised Kyle Kuzma wasn’t part of package ATL Fan in the DMV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tl;dr Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 That's a deal you had to make if you were the Lakers IMO. Lebron and AD is going to be a nightmare for defenses. Kuzma is decent too. It was a lot, but I think it was the right call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The question now becomes, does this screw Hawks? Who will Pelicans take at #4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqg96 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 So New Orleans get the the #1 pick and the #4 pick out of the lottery and they get Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Josh Hart. LSU has 2 national championships. The Saints have a Super Bowl. The Pelicans while they're rebuilding, might get ahead of the Hawks faster as of now.

I don’t even think Zion is a generational talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depend on does Lebron stay playing like the Lebron we all know. He will be 34, but 1000 years old based on basketball mileage. Lebron and his level of play throughout the season and postseason will be the biggest factor. They will also need another star unless Pelinka works magic(no pun intended).

Beef Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 They're very likely going to take Culver at 4. No sense in us moving up at this point, unless Hunter is the guy we think we must have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see how they are basically there core young players as well as giving up 3 firsts. They are in win now mode! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to be very tight on the cap with these 3 guys plus 2 top-5 picks, so it’s possible they need to unload a guy or two and move back a bit in this draft. So it’s possible, but if they are willing to go into the lux tax, then there’s not a real reason too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I don't see them getting by with Rondo, Stephenson and other cheap vets like that as they tried to last season. Pelinka is going to have some work to do.

Short term, maybe LA can win a title in a 3 year window. Long term: Pelicans gave up a superstar to become relevant again. 3 quality players plus 3 1st rounders...that’s chess, my friend.

A rare win-win trade I might be one of the few doubters of L.A. improving. The reason is I believe Lebron James is done. You lose it quick in basketball. Last year he didn't even play defense. Yeah, he averaged 27 points a game but the drop off comes quick. The Lakers will be decent but they gonna eventually miss those draft picks. THEN, the elephant in the room is Davis might bounce after next year on them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
