What are the chances that grizzlies pick RJ Barrett and not Ja Morant?

two things
1) If L.A was to trade for AD i highly doubtthey are offering all of their young pieces, but if they were to trade Zo/Ingram/Kuz they wpould still have roughly 20-25 million dollars to spend in FA this summer
2) AD has made it clear s day that he doesn't want to play for the organization anymore the prospect of Zion isn't gonna change that at all

So what's going to prevent AD from going to LA next summer? A trade to the Knicks to play with KD and Mr Flat Earf

Dude took a fast track to mediocrity & no flexibility all to not trade with the Lakers. Emotions over logic you hate to see it.

Zo Ingram that 4 pick would be a nice return for AD
- 22,895

The Lakers spending their money this summer, I get AD is with Klutch and all but i don't think Your gonna sell Bron on bringing back the same team next year with a bunch of different one year deals, especially with this pick lined up. him & management are gonna be looking to bring in another AS this summer.

Gotcha. All BS aside, if AD is dead set on playing for them next year regardless, then dont do the deal BUT it could be PG all over again

I disagree...you gotta do the deal if it’s there based off the reason you mentioned. A lot can change it a year and you can’t just assume he’s gonna sign

Lakers won't have cap even if they spend all their money on one year deals this summer

I don't see how adding Julius Randall XL is gunna keep AD in New Orleans.

If the Pels took the deal the Lakers proposed at the deadline, would one of the assets the Pels received have the been the pick that translated to the #4?
- 20,763
- 17,221
you would have to believe so, the more time that passes the less leverage New Orleans has
- 22,895

I do the deal but not the offer that was rumored last year
with Kyrie bouncing, i doubt Ainge is giving up a lot of young pieces to get em. & the Knicks offer is pretty similar (they have a better pick by one slot, Lakers prospects have shown more than the Knicks)

Other than being dark skinned and left handed, Julius and Zion don’t have much in common
- 44,833

I could see the logic behind the Knicks deal but from a basketball sense it would be a dumb move. Barrett and Zion aren't a great fit, Mitch is great at what he does but he plays limited minutes and is one dimensional as they come. Knox and dsj don't move the needle at all
- 32,330
- 34,829
They get the pick but it most likely isnt #4
- 22,188
- 63,106
I've said it before...but player comparisons are always rooted in appearance
Zion could be the EXACT same player but be light-skinned...and they'd be calling him Royce White
- 22,895
- 26,768
Honestly this is really all on AD if he's adament about going to L.A he can really just tell a team i am DEFINITELY leaving next season & i would presume a team isn't gonna give up the entire core for a rental.
Opening the Way for the Lakers to not have to trade every piece on the team. #4/Ingram/Kuz would be a nice pickup for them

Think about it, if Zion is Randle XL and Julius Randle is Blake Griffin, then Zion is Blake XL which makes him Barkley with Shawn Kemp hops.

I mean...
Lonzo
Jrue
Ingram
Zion
*insert center*
Could be pretty cool as well. They could sign Vucevic to be their center next to Zion if they want. Or grab Bol Bol with the #4 pick. Would be a good fit next to Zion.

I don't see any similarities to Julius Randle except maybe build and they both left handed
