We have a jam packed roster full of young talent. Any chance we trade out for picks in future years? Im sure there are a few ways to upgrade the roster, but I love our team chemistry.

The Pels are not going to be able to afford everyone. So you need to keep drafting cheap but quality replacements.

Wemby, if Lakers get #3 or #4, we can maybe package that pick & a player or two to move up and get him.

Controlled cost and move some salary.

Gonna have to be a very good player added to make a team even think about giving up #1

Is that player Zion? Because that’s the only way that anyone is listening.

The quick answer is that, barring a major injury, we are not doing anything at the trade deadline with any significant part of our future draft picks. We are a young and improving team, and after the Celtics beat the Nuggets tonight, we'll be back to the #1 team in the conference, without having had the best version of our team on the floor for more than a few games.

Whether or not we make a trade this offseason will be determined by how well we do in the playoffs and what our playoff weaknesses are, and also by where the Lakers pick ends up after the lottery.

I agree with this. Let’s see how this season plays out and where the lakers pick falls, but I don’t think we use two 1’s this offseason, even though ours will essentially be a 2nd round pick after we win it all.

We don't have two #1 picks this year. We have a swap with the Lakers, so, because we will finish above them in the standings, we will get their pick and they will get ours.

Jumping to the top of the draft doesn’t happen when there’s a clear cut #1 talent.

Only way you're trading up is offering Zion, and that's not an exaggeration.
