It's a possibility. And initially I was in favor of trading down a few spots but now I'm reconsidering. Assuming Garland lives up to most of his potential, he's still an asset you can trade a month, a year, two years, whatever, after you draft him. Same with Ingram assuming you have a contract extension.

Rather than dealing away assets for Beal I would rather the Pelicans make a run at Russell who will almost certain be an unrestricted free agent. Granted, that's a hard sell to Russell considering a dozen other teams will want him, too.
