2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

Regardless whether he was or wasn’t, we’re going to be hearing that he was.
Already reported that it was… but this time I actually do believe them because the reporting was consistent.
 
Yes but that does not narrow it down.
Ummm yeah it does… there are a lot of organs in the body… and bones… so many bones… it could also have been a mental health thing. You call yourself a doctor????
 
If Utah did this you'd be spiting fire. I don't think you understand the whole picture for NOLA ( i mostly hate it for them and think its solid for Memphis).

For NOLA to use the cap space they just cleared by moving back and giving up a first they have to waive Ball's caphold making him unrestricted. To get Lowry they likely have to go one more step and waive Hart's caphold. Lowry is the guy they want by all reports.

So the trade is Ball, Hart, moving back 7 spots, LAL first for Lowry and an upgrade from Adams to JV. They may get to keep Hart if Lowry can't get an offer over $25M a year.

If you hated the Conley move for us then you should likely hate this one too.
To return to this. I think NOLA actually drafted better than Memphis (that Ziaire/Aldini picks were reaches imo and NOLA got Murphy), but damn, NOLA has been AWFUL in free agency.

Both teams lost the trade, but I think NOLA might be losing harder.

Because they replaced Lonzo (4 years $85 million) with Graham (4 years $47)?

That's AWFUL?

It's horrendous beyond words.

Their defense just went from trash to absolute garbage bottom of the barrel dumpster fire.
NOLA screwed up last summer with the Adams deal and they are slowing cleaning it up. They still have 3 or 4 extra first round picks the next handful of drafts. They have a bunch of young guys in NAW, Hayes, Kira Lewis, and their recently drafted guys. JV and Graham make that team better than Lonzo and Adams.

They have cap space and they have picks and they have youth. They are one big move away from being very dangerous for a long time.
