Heat accept

Hoping to get 2 impact players out of this draft. I think I can get someone at 8 that I like as much as the player that I'd get at 5

Seriously what kind of magic do the Lakers have to make these deals.

What is the problem on this deal? He traded a first to move up 3 spots.

5-10 is basically a crap shoot in this draft. The Drexler notes are not great. Byron Scott cannot play PG. If either of those had gone the other way, I would've kept 5. Otherwise, the draft is a crap shoot. I add another top 20 pick and get a shot at another part of the crap shoot party.

Yeah I have no problem with this at all for the Heat. Not much difference between 5 and 8.

^ in a normal year I’d agree that you keep a top 5 pick

But Drexler does look like a bust. That said, I would wait to see if someone drops to 5 before trading the pick.

[chipper]

And to be fair- both of the Lakers’ players dropped to him so he can pick whomever he wants now.

Dont think its the greatest value but its also not horrible
