Shams tweeted after lottery that AD’s stance on trade hasn’t changed
That is very pertinent information to this thread - TP!
I came to thread to say, 'yes', but I guess the above already gives an indication of what is expected to happen.
I believe the Cs still have the best package as NOP seems to have an infatuation with Tatum and perhaps even our 'culture changer', Smart.
I just don't think Barrett, DSJ, and a future late 1st is as compelling. And, even with the #4 pick, there just seems to be too much uncertainty with the Lakers players - Ingram (blood clot), Ball (won't play there), Kuzma (reached his ceiling). Tatum is still the best asset; he and Zion would be an insane forward combo.
