Is it possible to give up the Lakers pick without giving up with Sacramento back up pick?

That Marvin Bagley kid looks INSANE.

I thought of that too, and it was pointed out that we can't get the #1 pick in 2019. We get the better of the Sac or Philly picks, unless its #1, then we get the lesser pick.

A bird in the hand.................

Yea, some of you get so excited over prospects. We could have an elite offense and very good defense as soon as next year.

If this is true, then I think Ainge may already have a deal in place with Pritchard.

I would think this is the kind of reassurance Ainge is looking for. So pull the trigger, Danny.
The season depends on it. And don't forget to cut Zeller by 7/2.

I'm not YUUUGE on George, but YES it's worth the Lakers pick.

Last week we didn't even have the Lakers pick, and yet we still thought we had a bunch of elite assets.

Last week, if someone told you, that you could keep The Brooklyn '17 and '18 picks, and get Paul George, would you do it? Yes? So why would that change now?

Yes, it's definitely worth the Lakers pick.

People should realize that the Lakers pick was essentially a free asset Danny was given by trading down to get his guy. I'm much more willing to part with that essentially "free" asset than the Brooklyn pick, Tatum, or Brown. And I still think the Lakers pick trumps any other offer from Cleveland or Houston.

Plus, maybe the Pacers feel they can "stick it" to the Lakers by not giving them George AND potentially having a top-5 pick come their way next season  :laugh:

he can made a few teams Team or than Lakers who aren't rady to compete have a better chance of winning a conference or possibly a title.

George brings th Celtics much closer than anybody else who might be available soon .

If you can' get George , the next option is save every asset possible and trade for Davis one day.
