[Woj] ESPN Sources with @DraftExpress: The New Orleans Pelicans are planning to defer the Los Angeles Lakers’ first-round pick until 2025, clearing the way for LA to select 17th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. Pick conditions were part of the Anthony Davis trade in 2019.

[[Woj] The Lakers also own the 55th pick in the June draft. The Pelicans have until 11:59 ET on Saturday to inform league of their intentions. The pick is the final of three first-rounders the Lakers owed the Pelicans in Davis trade.](https://x.com/wojespn/status/1796649642861506765?t=OOnLr3burkkmbBOu1NARxw&s=19)
Zach Edey, come on down
If we can’t trade for a significant improvement, I like this pick there are some solid big men we can target in this range.
Scouting team is generally good at finding the diamonds in the rough late so let’s keep our fingers crossed
I feel more and more likely that we keep the pick barring some Pelinka miracle. If that’s the case, I just hope we don’t draft another guard who can’t shoot
Good move by the pelicans lmao. I wouldn’t expect anything from this pick
Guard who can’t shoot, c’mon on down!
Center, center, center, center, center. Idc anymore I want a big man. No more guards, no more guards, no more guards, for the love of god please no more guards in especially the ones that can’t shoot
Cool trade it
I hope they get a legit center. If not center or wing for sure!
Fuck
They say this draft is weak but the talent field is actually quite consistent to the early 20s so we could very possibly get a nice role player out of it.
A big would be great. Someone to eat up minutes at least
Why would they do this when they could at least trade it somewhere else for cash or picks in a future draft?
Bronny incoming
KEL’EL WARE
Bronny time
If we keep the pick give me Tristan da Silva or center, hopefully Edey is still there.
Draft a big man pls
If we waste this pick on Bronny I’m gonna lose my shit.
Gotta love that Pelinka gave them this choice for no reason so they can keep fucking us n trying to draft in a better year
With the 17th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select Bronny James, University of Southern California.
Bronny confirmed?
Makes sense, this draft is very looked down upon by front offices. Next years figures to be deeper. That said glad to have 17 and I still think we can find a solid roleplayer with that pick.
Get PF/C DaRon Holmes
Is this the end of the AD trade picks??
We should target Big man or Wing Player
Tristan Da Silva, Filipowski, Edey, or Yves Missi imo
Is this years draft 2013 bad or better
bronny/.?
