This trade only really works if the pistons get a verbal agreement from BI that he intends to re-sign with them….

Magic pick up an incredible scorer in Lavine to make them a real contender.

Bulls could have taken KCP instead of Sexton, and not involved the Jazz at all, which might have earned them an extra FRP but they take a chance on Sexton, save an extra few million and sacrifice what likely would’ve been a very late first in the future thanks to this excellent young core that the magic have.

Jazz take a small hit to their vast cap space by taking on KCP, and are compensated with a SRP, whilst they receive a first for Colin Sexton….

Bulls get a good return for Lavine with a high upside piece in Kuminga, who could thrive on a team that gives him more minutes and opportunity.

Magic become serious contenders by bringing in an excellent scorer who can help space the floor for them + make them truly dangerous.

Warriors sell Kuminga, who is on the last year of his deal, with the warriors seemingly unwilling to give him a new deal. Granted, they might have hoped for a better return but they can't be too disappointed with two FRPs.

This trade is the sequel to the last trade on my profile which saw the Warriors acquire Walker Kessler from the Jazz….

Warriors pick up a player in Kessler who is being wasted on the Jazz and continue down their "two timeline" path by picking up a player who can be a big contributor straight away but is still young so he fits the Kumina/Podz timeline also….

Lineup after this trade:

CP3 Vassell Butler Sochan Wemby

Bench: Jones Castle KJ Champagnie Mamu

Ideally, I wouldn't choose for us to make a trade for Jimmy as I don't think he fits the timeline and he isn't the player he once was but if he works out for us, this could be huge!!!…

I have been working on this mock draft for over a month, evaluating players extensively, researching each team's pick history, etc so I would really appreciate if you can take a moment to look over my picks and read through some of the analysis.

Note: Picks 4 and 8 should be swapped - I am aware that both picks belong to the spurs but I think they will actually take Castle before Dillingham as he seems to be their priority….

Hi guys, this has taken me 2-3 weeks to complete as I had to brush up on a lot of film and reports for these players and thought very carefully about all of these selections

I hope you enjoy my mock and analysis and please feel free to provide me with any feedback

I would really appreciate if you take the time to look over some of my analyses on these players and let me know what you think

Also feel free to tell me who you think won this draft as well as who you want your team to select with each of their picks

Thanks guys…
