LOL. Good podcast, Gerald, but I’ve already traded that pick five times this week. Anyway, good to hear who Stone Hansen thinks the Lakers might be looking at in the draft, assuming they don’t trade the pick. Good discussion about point guards and centers for Lakers to possibly draft, including Mann, Josh Giddey, Davion Mitchell, etc. Good lisen if you think the Lakers are going to keep the pick and not trade it to help LeBron win now.
…sigh…pick can’t be traded but OK. You can trade the player 30 days after thy sign their rookie deal. The pick cannot be traded and I can’t find when free agency starts this summer. Them’s the rules, one way or the other. Also, they’re drafting Timme!!!! JK, I have no idea and don’t much care. Whomever it is will fall in behind our 2 big dogs and then some besides I’m more interested in the free agent carousel we’re certain to be on.
LOL. Them’s NOT the rules. You and Gerald, SMH!
The pick will be traded on draft day July 29 just like last season’s pick was traded, or have you forgotten how we acquired Dennis Schroder? The rule is teams cannont trade future first round picks two years in a row but there’s no rule preventing the Lakers from tradeing actual picks on draft day every year.
I don’t believe that is correct. Here’s what was said specifically about the Schroder trade. Now was there a wink and a handshake deal made prior to the draft? I’m sure the league office would love to know.
Here:
The Los Angeles Lakers have officially completed their trade for Dennis Schröder, the team announced after the 2020 NBA Draft on Wednesday. The Lakers could not consummate their trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder until after the 2020 NBA Draft because the deal included their first-round pick, which they also traded last year (NBA teams cannot trade future picks in consecutive drafts).
Along with Jaden McDaniels — who was taken with that pick — the Lakers will send Danny Green to the Thunder as part of the deal. And while Green was hardly a Lakers fan favorite — to put it mildly — his wing defense was still a valuable part of the long-limbed and active identity that won them the title. He will be missed, even if you likely won’t miss watching him shoot.
If you want to take a trip down memory lane and see what everyone was saying Dennis would bring to the Lakers it’s all in the same article: https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2020/11/18/21573823/lakers-trade-dennis-schroder-danny-green-2020-nba-draft-analysis
Point being the PICK cannot be traded. Them’s are indeed the rules. If all this time you have actually meant “the player will be traded X days after the draft” than that’s what one should imply. We couldn’t trade the pick now, can’t trade it on Draft Day, either. All the same rule.
