Would you Trade in the Lakers picks now or hold?
I remember a convo on this board back in 2011 when we first got the Timberwolves unprotected 2012 pick, which at the time was seen as one of the best assets in the league. We debated for a few pages about whether we should sell that pick or let it ride. Most were on the side of let it ride and to give you an idea of the value most thought it had, the question was posed as to whether we should trade it back to the Wolves for Kevin Love and the vast majority said no. That pick eventually became 10th, and Austin Rivers, and the rest is history
Cut to today and after the Kyrie news, it looks like the Pels have another great pick coming from the Lakers via swap next draft and potentially another great pick either in 2024 or 2025. But the potential is always there for the Lakers to be better than expected and/or the draft class to be worse than expected. So, with that said, would you consider trading those picks now, and if so, what is the minimum you would take in return? I will start:
Jonas, Graham, Hayes, and both Lakers picks for Bam Adebayo
Yes, I am aware the Heat would say no, but this is the minimum I would give the picks up for. Of course, anybody better I would happily part with the picks. Again, this is my minimum. What about the rest of you?
