Strange.
Doesn't make much sense to pull the trigger so early unless it's to turn around and make another move.
Hopefully the third pick is unprotected and ideally the Kings '19 selection.
I'm worried that LA won't suck next year. They tanked more obviously than most teams and looked decent at times. Plus major improvements from guys like Russel and Ingram is possible if not probable. Also, Lonzo makes guys better. I don't love the trade but Ainges track record is giving me some pause before bashing it. He's earned a lot of benefit of the doubt, but now the joy ride is over. This move has GOT to work out or he's got some serious questions to answer.
