Mock Draft Take 4

[Elizah Huge]

I mostly agree, but say the jazz want Ausar and he falls a bit. It wouldn’t take much to move from 9 to 6-7 to grab him. I don’t even think you need to trade 16 or 28

What would we trade then? A future first? Nobody is moving down for seconds (we don’t even have very many).

ORL and IND may not be willing to move their pick. Jazz need to find a team that's willing to trade back. That isn't easy to find.

Boooooooo! No way.

I’m the biggest Grady Dick homer here, and that’s ridiculous

Wouldn’t be surprised if we can just swap first and give the Laker future first

If there’s someone they like they can get at 9 they’d definitely move back with the laker pick

The Lakers future first is worth way more than the #28.... likely more than the #16.

It will cost a first to move up from 9 to 6 or higher... its not "just 3 spots". It very well could be worth it too.

What… why would we move that first instead of 16 or 28?

I'd gladly give up both 9 and 16 if it meant we could get Cam or a Thompson. Depending how the draft falls, that may or may not be realistic.

Personally I would only use assets to move up to a top 4 pick. I just don't think there is that much of a gap between those projected 5-8 as those projected 9-12.

I think there is a decent chance we make a small move up though like some are suggesting, and if that's the case I'll trust that the front office has much more information than I do and it was worth it.

That’s the great thing about having Ainge. He will have intel that none of us will.

I actually think you could move 16 and 9 and then do a deal with Miami or Atlanta to finesse your way back in at 15 or 18. If they party we are trading up with wants to take 16 over the Lakers pick I'm good. I think the future pick might have a smidge more value but its close.
