Great job being able to get off both contracts in one trade, but it was their fault they had to do that anyways. They got a major upgrade at the 5 and only had to move down 7 spots in the draft, great move for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Also assume that Memphis makes this move in hopes that Bouknight is on the board at #10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying they put themselves in the bad position, but they did a great job with this trade. That Lakers pick in 2022 is also likely to be 25 or later. Least valuable pick they got from us.

They should swing another trade and go get Buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be interesting. They should probably be able to make the playoffs next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping we would be able to swing something for him, but if they and others are throwing out competing offers that is probably more of a long shot than the realistic option it seemed at first at least in comparison to other stuff people were throwing out.

NYRaider Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 When gauging how teams feel about the prospects available after the top 6, I think this trade is pretty telling. New Orleans had no issue with giving up #10 to dump Adams/Bledsoe. But Memphis also had no problem taking those guys on to move up 7 spots, lol.

They can probably still land Corey Kispert or Chris Duarte at #17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MookieMonstah Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Love the move. Sign Lowry and then match Lonzo offer sheet. Playoff team if healthy for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
