Your choice is the same choice the Pels will soon be making. Would you rather pick at #4, or trade it away for a veteran to help fill needs? Who would you select and/or trade for? Remember, Pels looking at $15-19 million in cap for 2019-2020 right now as it stands

i'm leaning keep it until draft night and if you get a deal that knocks you out take it if not draft some shooting

I think you try like hell to trade assets for the #2. Zion and Ja would love to play together again, I’m sure.

I’m perfectly fine w Hunter in a rookie deal. A higher priced vet better be someone that I’m ecstatic about

Myles Turner would be the only one I'd really go for

Depends on if Griff thinks Zion is good enough to contend this season...if yes, trade for shooter. If no, draft shooter

There are so many variables in play that it's hard to say what the "right" move is.

I really like Garland at 4. I like Hunter as well. If the Suns traded the 6th pick for Ball (seems plausible given their need at PG) and Pelicans could get Garland at 4 and Hunter at 6, that would be great. Don't know how realistic that is but I'd love it.

If I move #4 it has to be for a fringe All-Star level player.

Depends what package you get back in return. How good of a player? Any future picks?

We have to draft DeAndre Hunter. He will replace Ingram and has everything to grow with Zion. Can’t mess this draft up...

I take Garland at #4 and let him play alongside Jrue and Lonzo. We need an accumulation of young talent on this team to go with Zion. Then in 2-3 years we can reaccess where we are and make moves accordingly. We should have a shiteload of cap space and plenty of picks to do just about anything we want. I'm not overly excited about trading away the 4th pick for a player that might not be a key piece for us in 5 years.

I would like to trade back. If we are keeping Holiday and the rest of our guys, we need more depth. The Hawks really want to move up. So if they give us 8, 17, plus take Hill off our hands. We can add two prospects and get some more space. I would love to add Hayes (best big in the draft) and a shooter, like Cam Johnson..

I don't think so. Markkanen is their franchise player now

A center who averaged 13/6 while blocking 2 hits a game and shot 38% from 3.


If you can’t get Turner, or a young, controllable floor spacing 5, then you keep it. I don’t want another instant rebuild trading picks for vets. Take your time, build with the young controllable assets.
