I don't really understand why the Lakers are leaking stuff on Lonzo like that Ding article. I know some people will say smoke screen but I don't see many teams trying to trade up for him. The Celtics aren't gonna take him..the Kings would want Fultz. So the smokescreen thing doesn't fit there. The Suns are high on him allegedly but I don't see them trading up for him either.

Just doesn't really make that much sense to me personally.

Could be to boost Fox or Jackson... see if maybe the sixers or suns are hungry enough to jump up for one of them.

Markelle Fultz, 6’4” freshman point guard, Washington
“I’d take him number one. His main weakness is defense, but he has some ability to play defense when there’s something at stake. He needs to be around a winning culture to get the best out of him. The most complete player in the draft. I don’t like that he cruises sometimes. He’s almost like Daryl Strawberry. Is he loafing or is he just that smooth? I don’t know that winning has ever been important to him. I’ve talked to friends who recruited him, and they said even when they watched him in open gyms or playing AAU, his team hardly ever won. That scares the crap out of me.”

I'd hate to see Fultz in Sacramento.

Could make some Since move down with the Kings for 5/10/ another player WCS for example and than move 5/crowder/smart? for Butler

I don't know if they could pull something like that off and still keep the 10th pick. Might be something there with a 3 team trade I don't know.

If you're Chicago you probably go after Phoenix first if you're not getting the #1.

This is Ainge we're talking about, he probably has Zach Collins as the number 1 on his draft board.

Tatum at 5 and Collins at 10 and he's good money
