I usually hate BR mock drafts/trades, but this one actually makes sense lol. We get a serviceable and cheaper backup C in Nance, a solid 2-way prospect in Castle, and a good scoring and rim-protecting big in Holmes. Not bad at all. Thoughts?

Here’s the link to the full mock draft. The reason NOLA would have the #6 pick is because they predicted a trade with Charlotte.
I…don’t hate it?
Castle is fucking legit, I’m having a hard time seeing Mitch getting us all the way to 6 , + NO doesnt even have 6 so there would need to be another trade that happens before this
0% chance it happens because it is contingent on this trade also happening which was earlier in the article.
>Charlotte Hornets receive: No. 3 pick (via HOU), Cam Whitmore and Jock Landale
>Houston Rockets receive: Brandon Ingram
>New Orleans Pelicans receive: Miles Bridges (via sign-and-trade), Jae’Sean Tate, No. 6 pick (via CHO) and No. 44 pick (via GSW, from HOU)
As a UConn fan inject this in my veins
TS knows their shit, I am not hating on this one
Mitch for Jermai Grant
lol, New Orleans doesn’t have the #6 pick.
I like Nance, but I also like the homie Big Meech
I like it but this was also needed nola to trade Ingram to get 6
Yo make it happen lfggggg
Not bad at all.
Oh fuck yeah gimme a uconn boy
I’d be shocked if this happens because it feels a bit too picture perfect. My issue is that Nance Jr. isn’t really a rim protector that Thibs loves. Knicks getting Castle feels too good to be true. He did say he wants to be on a team with no established PG but I hope being on a contending team would change his tune. Knicks probably don’t keep #25 though.
I like it.
Mitch and his coach get to go home while we add another former Laker that has chemistry with Josh and Julius.
I love this get for us, but we’re not going to be able to trade Mitch to receive a top 10 pick in return.
I’d say if #25 and Mitch are traded together, that’ll get us to the 12-15 range is more likely.
I think that’s selling mitch short. Yes he has injury issues but our strength last season relied heavily on our offensive rebounds which he was a huge part of. Also we don’t play-make to him enough. I would hold and stay pat, until the trade deadline.
That would be fuckin incredible
Anybody who thinks Mitch is worth the 6th pick if fucking high
