Hey Pels fans! Wishing great success to the team this year and throughout the future. Last night was a good start to getting where we need to be. Was just curious because I just realized we could possibly have 2 FRP in 2024. Our own pick and Lakers pick (have the option to use the Lakers 2025 pick). This draft class looks pretty weak on paper so i’m just curious on what we should do? Teams will always be hungry for first rounders so would we trade them to improve at the deadline? I know it’s early in the season and this question mostly banks on how well the Lakers will perform in 2024. But, give me your thoughts on the situation and what you would ideally want to happen with our draft capital in the next 2 years.
Yes, definitely trade the picks. Nearly 30% of the minutes played last year were by rookies or sophomores. The rotation is pretty deep already so adding more youngsters to a deep, young rotation makes no sense.
