The salary situation is weird. Make the Lakers/Bulls trade and it's an issue. With other trades we will he scrounging for vets to fill the payroll. But will have an issue when all those rookies need to get paid. This really can go in all directions.
We can't look at the competition. We have to just dig deep. Talk about Lakers players. Fight over Demps. Continue with the trade deadline indecision. Maybe we have to get some outside help and discuss if hot dogs are actually sandwiches. But we can do this. I believe in us.

Good positive energy.
But also, yo mama's fat.
NBA source tells me the “All-Star player” being referenced when talking about Anthony Davis/Lakers scenarios and using the #4 pick to get NOLA a veteran is Bradley Beal.

Pelicans want him in 3-team deal with LA.@FearTheBrown was first to report Beal as Pels target.@wdsu pic.twitter.com/mFZRQPsrXe
Ok this is getting stupid now. The mental gymnastics you pull is impressive. The Knicks due to a lottery system has no idea where their pick will land until the season is over and the lottery is complete. Just like they were tied for the best odds and ended up 3rd. Trading a tiny chance at Zion is not the same as winning the lottery then trading Zion. Which if they thought they could get Durant and Irving they may have done anyways.
I already addressed the protection situation. I'm sure NYK in this situation would prefer to protect the pick, but if the other team refuses then it becomes a choice that management has to make. It not as simple as do both other wise team would always protect their picks. If Demps says no protection or no deal then NYK have to decide right then.
Either way you clearly will ignore everything for the sake of being right congratulations you can have it moving on.
I've always assumed Beal was a pipe dream.
Must....not.. get hopes....up....hrrrng....
Honestly, feel very indifferent about this and after what we been through for the last 7 years of throwing away 1st round picks. Especially, Zion doesn't have perfect measurable like AD had. So, It's best to get insurance if he doesn't work out.
Plus, We start the season off with just Okafor and Zion as our bigs. Our defense is probably gonna be awful.
A rim protecting Center is looking a big hole again like it has been since Tyson left. I hope the FO has a plan to figure it out. There is Jonas Valanciunas, Lopez, and etc coming on the market. Solid vets. So, we have options. Just not any young options unless we sign and trade for Myles Turner or outright trade for Robinson.

I WILL SPEAK THIS INTO EXISTENCE. YOU HAVE NOT SEEN MY FINAL FORM https://t.co/7QzerRZi0d
Super underrated part of this is LeBron watching the Lakers struggle to complete this trade for a second time. Can't imagine what he would think if they don't pull this off

I’m wondering if we would still get Ingram in this scenario with Beal

I think we get Beal, Kuzma, and Hart. Maybe Ball goes to Phoenix for 6th pick or Bulls for 7th pick. Maybe Pels view picks 4-7 as same value this year? This trade could be a 4 team trade.
Screw the Lakers on any trade. They've caused us too much grief to give in now to those dirty.... Ship AD to the East, cause him inconvenience the same as he's caused us and let the annointed one get one year older. No one team is above the other, but try to tell that to the media and Laker fans.
I think you're exactly right on the calculation that needs to be run. What you seem to be missing is that people with much greater information than you (better scouting, actual knowledge of the deals being discussed) by all accounts didn't even seriously consider making a trade before the deadline. That should tell you how the calculation came out.
