re: Starting to think either Jah or RJ will be there at 4

I find it pretty funny that garland was thought to be a 7-10 pick all but 2-3 weeks ago. Then pelicans know they’re getting 4th pick in a potential lakers trade and start fielding offers. Garland moves up to the 4-6 conversation. Pelicans make the trade and shortly after most people seem to think garland/ hunter are interchangeable at 4. Then pelicans announce that they would draft garland at 4 if they kept the pick. Garland is now the consensus 4 with tons of teams putting in offers to move up to get him. Now the Knicks are holding a work out with him and he could be taken at 3.

I think he is a great player and has solid potential to be a great player in the nba, but he only played 5 games against poo teams and I feel like the pels FO has done an unreal job of juicing him up and getting the media hyped about him. Our return for the 4th is only going to be better now if we move it. We even got the Knicks out here second guessing themselves, or trying to get teams offering them something substantial for the 3rd with the idea they’re taking garland.

I love our FO haha they even have me saying it would be dumb to not take garland at 4 if we keep the pick, when 2 weeks ago you couldn’t change my mind on hunter. First the lakers and now the #4 pick. Masters of manipulation and I’m all in.
