The Pelicans treasure window is at is peak= Trading into the top 4
We have to think how GMs are viewing these Lakers picks. Y'all this might be our best window to strike with these picks because if by some chance the Lakers get better those picks move to teens/20s. Right now they are a dumpster fire, Free agency starts July 1st.
Using our treasure chest now to move up in the draft is likely one of the better windows we may have before the Lakers improve and how other GMs view their situation.
We trade 8th pick and a ton of our future Lakers picks we can definitely move into the top 4. It's a huge gamble to assume these picks will hold as much value now vs around the trade deadline or in the future.
Would you guys cash in now if you believe any of the top 40 guys can be a top 30 player (word to MM) or would take the gamble and stand pat and bank on the Lakers to get worse?
