NY: Ingram+ Tatum+ Deng+ swap option LA pick+La pick 2020

Boston: Porzingis+ O'quin

LA: Monroe+ Kuzninskas+ Payton+ return LA Pick

Bucks: Clarckson+ C Lee


NY is going to win 35-40 games with Porzingis, so they can't tank and draft a second star. So they trade him for 2 young talents on a rookie contract for a few years. And they get a swap option with the LA pick, so they have a good chance drafting a third good young player.

Boston needs an extra big to beat Cleveland.Tatum could be a star, but Porzingis is a proven star, so giving up Tatum+ a good draft pick is fair.

LA wouldn't give up Ingram in a Deng trade, but they get a good draft pick in return (their own or the NY pick). So LA could go all in in free agency and they have a draft pick they can use to get an extra asset.

I don't think Milwaukee could atract a good free agent, so Clarckson and C Lee are two good roll players on a good contract

Boston doesn't own the LA pick outright. They get the la pick next year only if it falls between #2-5. If La pick is outside #2-5, boston then gets the kings 2019 #1 (with #1 overall pick protection. If the kings pick happens to be the top overall pick, then boston gets the sixers 2019 #1 instead. ) . With 4 or 5 really big talents in the 2018 draft, it makes this pick a lot less desirable on the trade market.

IMO, I think with the additions of Lopez at center, KCP at sg, Ball at the point, and ingram, randle, and nance all improving the Laker pick has a great chance landing in that 7- 14 range. Would you roll the dice on the kings 2019 pick (who knows what that draft class will look like and what the kings will do) and lose Porzingis. I wouldnt.

Losing their own pick would make them worse, so they can draft doncic or Porter

Porter+ Ingram+ Tatum+ 2020 LA pick is a great return for NY, so i would gamble on this one.

Not sure I follow your logic about "La losing their pick so it will make them worse" statement. They drafted ball this year, they will play the season, then lose their pick. It can't possibly make them worse this year and increase the chances of getting doncic or porter. Am i missing something here Gasupo?

I don't think Boston would want the Zinger, O'Quinn maybe.

Giving up Tatum and a pick for KP would only hurt the C's in the long run, that kid will always have back problems

My guess is they'll wait to see how the Pels are doing and if they can trade for Boogie at the TD they'd be happy. But don't think they'd trade Tatum, my guess would be they would trade Brown instead in any deal.

@Jvoug, i ment losing Porzingis would make NY worse, so they get a higher draft pick.

Sorry Gasupo. I miss understood. Makes sense now. Knicks without porzingis would be a definite top 3pick.

I really don't think they want him, if they did he'd be on the team now. KP had back problems last year and for that reason I think that's why this trade wouldn't and didn't happen. This year, or the off season they need to get a true big and I think Boogie could be that player. Who knows, they could throw Fort Knox at NOLA for AD, because that's what it would take to get him.
