Raptors/Lakers Strike a Deal

[RaptorsGM]

Raptors Trade:

#4 Overall

Lakers Trade:

#10 Overall
#11 Overall


Of course, reasons to follow.

[LakersGM-old3]

Lakers agree.  I am trying to surround Don with as much talent as I can.  With the 4,5,8 picks I should get 3 very solid young guys.

[RaptorsGM]

I really, really like my chances at getting more value with 10/11 than 4. I actually don't see alot of difference in terms of player value, and I can see myself getting 3 guys with 10,11,13 that have a chance at cracking a top 8 rotation...and another pick at 19 that has a shot.

There were two guys I really really liked (besides the Canadian who is going #1), but after seeing both of their well-below-scouted potentials, it makes more sense to me to trade for quantity.

My draft list of my top 20 is very, very nice and I know 4 of them are going to be mine

[PacersGM]

another well done trade from the lakersgm. with 3 top 8 picks the future looks nice for them.

[HawksGM]

lakers your list for pick 5 works or both, edit it if you want

[RaptorsGM]

Yeah I agree this is a great trade for the LakersGM.

I'm very excitied about all the players in the top 10 of my list...and Lakers should have a shot to get 3 of them.

I'm hoping I can get 2...3 would be gravy.

[CelticsGM]

I really do believe there's a difference in what you can get in the top 4 compared to #10

Maybe it's just me but i'd rather have a chance for Pressey, Kellog, Cummings or Thompson than having to fear not even Worthy might beavailable down low anymore ... and one of the 5345 PGs is clearly not what you need (or the rest of the league for that matter) ...

[RaptorsGM]

If I get the guys that are 10 and 11 on my list, I'm really going to feel that I won this trade.
