So its an almost certainty that Ainge will be drafting for the New Orleans trade package.
What kind of players will New Orleans be looking for? As long as they're high upside prospects, then were good and the position won't matter as New Orleans is likely looking at rebuilding
Ainge has the luxury of possibly being able to trade up depending on the quantity and location of the picks... That also helps out Ainge here
With the Sactown pick in the 10-14 range, we can pick up someone like Romeo Langford hopefully.
Then with the Clips pick in the 18-19 area we can hopefully nab Bol Bol. If not him, Garland, kevin porter, or Jontay Porter
Will New Orleans be directing Ainge a list of who they would prefer? Would that reveal too much about their draft strategy? This whole thing is complex
I do think with the draft picks we have we can nab them 2 solid prospects. The first 20 or so picks are decent.
Tatum+Smart+Langford+Bol+Williams + memphis pick + 2020 Celtics pick
New orleans Center rotation would then be
Williams, Bol, okafor which isn't bad. If not Bol we can make it Jontay Porter. The lineup can be highly versatile with mix of rim protector and versatile centers
