    I remember the line that said that we can't improve our draft standing against teams that aren't playing. Yet, we should at least be ahead of teams that where in the restart. Namely, the Spurs and Phoenix. I don't remember reading anything about our draft status being locked at the time of league stoppage.

A guard with an in between game working the PnR with Jax would be gorgeous.
    God, yes. The next PnR he defends successfully will be is first.

    It was locked. We will get either the 12th or 13th most balls - depending on coin flip with Sacto.

    We will have a small shot to move up to top 4 and a very minute shot at having a team behind us jump us. Most likely, we will get 12 or 13, and that will be determined by the coin flip which probably happens at some point next week

    Rumour: Minny interested in Lonzo.

    What do they have that we would want?

    Culver, Okogie, trading up in the first? Neither Culver nor Okogie provide any improvement to the team over Ball.

    Just assuming this is true, what could they give us that we might possibly want?

    Aside from guys like Towns, who are clearly out of the question for deals such as this, they don't really have much.
    Basketball.

    Minny already has Russell on a MAX contract. I see no reason as to why they would be interested. Lonzo is too expensive for a depth piece for them.

    He's a RFA so would take a S&T with a raise. Depends on what he is asking for.

    I'd do that, and I am less "must trade Lonzo" than most. I don't know if I want to make both of those picks, though; if I did, I would probably look to make one of them a stash.

    Minnesota? Surely not for Russell. And we ain’t taking Wiggins. Or we better not. Who could be the 3rd team?

    Weedplate Wiggins was already traded to GS for Russell

    That is not much better than just a dump. The 17th pick, particularly in this draft, is a crap shoot at best.

    I’d take Culver and 17. Maybe Naz if we could but Culver for sure. I had wanted to draft Culver but when we moved that far down I didn’t think we’d get him.

    What about this trade if Minnesota’s interest in Ball is real? It works in the trade machine, and I think it gives us great future flexibility.

    Brooklyn receives:
    SG Jrue Holiday

    Minnesota receives:
    PG Lonzo Ball
    SF Lance Thomas
    PF Nicolo Melli


    New Orleans receives:
    PG Spencer Dinwiddie
    SG Caris LeVert
    SG Jarrett Culver
    PF James Johnson
    C Jarrett Allen
    Minnesota 2020 pick 17

    Lineup

    PG: Dinwiddie/NAW/draft pick
    SG: LeVert/Reddick/Culver
    SF: Ingram/Hart/draft pick or Didi
    PF: Williamson/Johnson/draft pick
    C: Allen/Hayes/draft pick

    Well, contrary to popular belief... That's the most Minnesota thing that they can do in trade that they have no reason or benefit to participate in at all...

    If we are trading Jrue to Nets

    He's gonna have to package with Miller. Nets need cap relief, but they have nothing that matches..

    Nets giving up Dinwiddie, Levert, and Allen?

    God dayum

    2 backups and LeVert for a 3rd offensive option, elite defender upgrade in Holiday. Brooklyn is looking for championships and no longer developing young players as the primary focus with Irving and Durant.

    Brooklyn Lineup

    PG: Irving
    SG: Holiday/Temple
    SF: Durant/Harris
    PF: Kurucs/Prince
    C: Jordan

    Look for Tyrunn Lue to Brooklyn as head coach imo.

    I think Atkinson is our best head coaching candidate. Adding LeVert, Dinwiddie, and Allen, would give us young veterans to continue to build his culture/vision.
