Pelicans trade Jrue and Lonzo, get back the 2nd, 8th, future picks, and spare parts. That's what the interwebz is telling is going to happen.

What are you doing at:

2.
8.
13.


Rules: you have to pick players, no trades.

I'm packaging 8th and 13th for pick 4 and taking the best SF available like we should've last year

Deni at 2
Vassell at 8
Jalen smith at 13.

Deni gives you at 3/4 who fits perfectly alongside Zion and Ingram, or can sub for either guy. Vassell is another good fit who can play with or for Ingram. Smith is a perfect modern big who can stretch the floor and protect the rim.

2. Okongwu
8. Killian
13. Poku

Okongwu and Killian are BPA, IMO. Shooting for the stars with 13 and trying to avoid filling a 3rd roster spot with this year's draft.

2. USC center not gonna attempt to spell his name

8. Vassell or Killian


13. Kira Lewis (If we don’t pick Killian) or the Poku project, Bey or Nesmith (if we don’t choose Vassell)

2. Highest upside play (Wiseman?)
8. Hayes/Okoro
13. Poku (Eurostash lottery ticket) Maybe go Anothoy or Maxey if Okoro goes 8

But really I could be talked into anything right now. Just out on Edwards and Ball especially if Lonzo has been shipped out.

Stupid hypothetical. Adding those three, and Didi, is dumb and no one would do that.

What I would do is break your rule and trade them for players

Trade all picks for Zach Lavine, Mitchell Robinson and a good locker room vet with that dog in him like Boban from Dallas

Why are we trading valuable players for more picks? We straight up have about 7 first rd picks and 12 second rd picks the next 5 years.

To use to be able to outbid another team for the next disgruntled star who wants out.

So you would have traded AD for 5 1st round picks? No players?

If we plan to keep Ingram and Zion together then we have JJ, Hart, Redick, and Jrue as assets. I don't know how we can trade these guys for more picks and still have enough to trade for a star.
