Why would you trade the pick? You need all the ammo you can get to save your job you fool.
The fact that Jazz are involved is good sign. Lets hope we find out after the draft that Ingles is involved. Same way we found out Adams was attached to trade last year

Since going to 30 teams, there's 123 players that were drafted in the 2nd round that never even played a single minute in the NBA. Not one minute.
8 have made at least one all star game. That list includes Paul Millsap, Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan, Goran Dragic, Isaiah Thomas, Draymond Green, Khris Middleton, and Jokic.
My point is it's funny reading posts on here complaining about the second round pick when there's a far greater chance they'll never play. And yes, I'm even referring to whoever anyone here is suggesting they should take with the 2nd rounder.
I hope they pan out, but the odds aren't there to even worry about it.
Do we still have another pick? Give me Cooper, Boston, or Petrusev
God bless David Griffin
Maybe... Because... The following happened...
1. LeBron/Klutch wanted moves and the ownership feed them to Griff
2. Griff is at his best once he is put in a pressure cooker to get said moves done.
3. The moves he did make didn't involve anything really Basketball insight or sauve... It was get this guy and that guy. Players that where finished products.
Griff never built a team from the ground up and it's beyond evident.
Yeah, and I'd understand that and agree if that's what was left on the board or if it was a one time thing. But this is a Griff special: he did it last year too, where he basically jsut shuffled picks down the board before shuffling them off into next year when there were legitimately talented guys - in some cases guys who had arguments as lottery talents! - left to pick.
It's one thing to say ''everyone left is just a 13th uniform on an NBA bench, so I'll trade the pick along to keep the pick value''.
It's another to look at a guy who can lead the NBA in 3pt% or play impact minutes for a team that made the playoffs with your 24th pick and go ''uh... I think I'll just pass for nothing.''
It's just bad process, and it's a bad process that's now happened multiple years in a row.
Basketball.

I'm not going to pretend I know more than an NBA FO. All I know is all the guys I've been preaching about all got picked before the Pelicans had a chance to. So it's not like they passed on them. So it's just whatever.
That said, I do like they seem to have a sense of identity and direction. They went with "Naji like" athletic long wings that care about defending.
So, we'll just have to see how it turns out.
It's so funny that the Hawks get Sharife.
''Trae's tired, he's gotta go to the bench. Who's their backup PG?''
''Oh just like, you know, another Trae Young. This one is slightly shorter though.''
I cant believe the Lakers traded for Westbrook. LeBron is just leaning haaaard into the super team isnt he?
Take Boston if he’s available and I’ll be happy even tho we could of hit a home run if not for the last pick
People here are calling Griffin the worst GM over trading nonimpact 2nd round picks. Wow
