  • Most people, including myself, felt like the Boston Celtics were the team that had the best assets to acquire anything like we're going.

  • And then the Sacramento pick ended up being a 14 and therefore, that isn't as attractive.

  • The Lakers were slotted to get the number 11 approximate pig, and they moved all the way up to number four.

  • It also hopefully taken his dead because the sun's the calf and the Bulls all we're trying to do so and none of those teams got a top three pick.

  • The number one in the number two picks are going to the smallest markets in the MBA.

  • Okay, so here's what I now see that could take place.

  • David Griffin with the former general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers with LeBron James played there.

  • The Pelicans and the Lakers try to do a deal this year in the deal fell through.

  • Now that the Lakers have the number four pick, they truly have the assets.

  • If they really want Anthony Davis compare with their young assets and that number four pick toe actually get him, they have what it takes.

  • Tow.

  • Actually get him or the pelican side.

  • The Celtics air still gonna be a good team, Maybe K deles, maybe kind of release what's gonna happen with quiet.

  • Mike Kami You look at Memphis and number two, they're gonna likely pick John Moran.

  • And who knows what free agents are coming there?

  • The Lakers, they get the number four.

  • I have a really nice package for anti Davis and remember that they said no to that package, right?

  • As long as you've got a top three pick, I think you got a chance to get a perennial All Star.

  • You still have to Max free agent spots available and expectations are still low.

  • You know, if the Knicks would have got Zion, they would have blown through the roof.

  • Not it could still be a really good team, progressive to be a great one and hopefully a playoff team, depending on who they can acquire this off season.
