For all the talk about the additional assets for the Knicks and Celtics like the future Grizzlies pick, Brown, Smart, Robert Williams, our other picks, the Mavs picks owed to the Knicks, Smith JR, Knox, and Robinson most of the time it comes down the very best asset in this case Tatum, and the most likely pick for the Knicks RJ Barrett (sounds like the Grizzlies really like Morant at 2).
I’m leaving the Lakers out for 2 reasons I don’t believe they have asset as good as Tatum or Barrett, and the Pelicans might not want to do business with them anyway.
I’m interested to hear what people think of Barrett vs Tatum. I know some people think Barrett is a better prospect. I think Barrett can do some things better such as maybe driving and passing, but not as good of a shooter. I’m on the fence though between the 2. I might lean towards Tatum as he at least has shown his skills in the NBA.
