  1. The Pelicans have all those Laker picks, plus they start getting the Bucks' picks in 2024.
  2. I was wondering why on Tankathon that the Pelicans' pick is now going to Charlotte instead of Portland...I think (but not sure) that the 2025 pick is one the Bucks owe to NOLA for the Jrue trade. https://pelicandebrief.com/2022/04/15/cj-mccollum-pelicans-trail-blazers/ As part of the McCollum trade, the Pelicans owe Portland a protected pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. The Pels will have to send their own first rounder to Portland as long as it falls between 5 and 14 in the Draft. But if they do make the playoffs, their pick would immediately fall outside of that range, which means they would send it to Charlotte to complete the Devonte’ Graham trade and send Portland Milwaukee’s 2025 pick instead. New Orleans would gladly take the losing the pick this offseason if it meant making the playoffs.
  3. Not much will top the Kyrie trade. https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2011/5/18/2177310/kyrie-irving-cavaliers-clippers-nba-draft-2011 The Cleveland Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft with the selection acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers in the Mo Williams-Baron Davis trade. So essentially, the Clippers traded Baron Davis and Kyrie Irving for Mo Williams. Now there's some butterfly effect shenanigans there -- the Clippers' GM immediately covered his tail by pointing out that without Williams, the Clippers wouldn't have gone 11-11 to finish the season and landed the particular lottery combination that won the whole shebang. He also insisted that Cleveland would not have done the deal if the Clippers protected the pick, which means to lose Davis' $28 million salary over the next two years, L.A. had to give up its pick. That still doesn't excuse the trade.
  4. It's really too bad that Murray has an ACL and MPJ's back is borked as Denver could have done something this year.
  5. Yeah this is the time of year I really wish I lived in the Pacific Time Zone - I need my sleep.
  6. No worries - Cavs got this. Garland about to go nuclear and Young about to fold like my lawn chairs. Bam gonna have a lot of trouble vs Mobley & Allen.
  7. Not worried in the slightest. Cavs are letting the Hawks back in the game only to rip their heart out in the end, drinking up some ever so sweet Bogdan tears.
  8. Hawks about to be gone fishing.
  9. Nope - put it in the books. Write it in pen. Trae Young can sit at home this Spring and watch the best PG in the East do his thing.
  10. Cavs are smoking the Hawks. And guess what the Cavs are gonna smoke the Heat too.
  11. Basketball is largely a means to an end for some.
  12. A lot of this going around...
  13. I 100% guarantee that will not change tonight. Would bet any amount of money.
