Trade Grab Bag 5: Five Zach Lowe trade-down trades
Sorry, none as scary as the last Halloween batch
Okay, I didn’t think we’d have another grab bag so soon, but Zach Lowe brought the goods in his Off-season Preview article.
Jrue Holiday Special
Also discussed by Slater in the Athletic:
Here is Zach Lowe’s report of a John Hollinger idea to get him:
Big Apple Pupu Platter
I like the idea, but those DAL picks should be very late and Knox is very eh. If they don’t put in Mitchell Robinson, then I need to see the actual 2021 NYK 1st to consider this.
Motor City Pupu Platter
Intriguing… this is a lot like TGB 4.2, which voters already thought was too bad for DET. I ran it again since it was in Zach’s article.
Windy City Pupu Platter
I’m intrigued. Are we sure Wendall Carter Jr isn’t better than Wiseman for the next two years? And for me #4 vs #2 is nothing in this draft.
Capital Corridor Pupu Platter
Probably not quite enough for GSW, but it would beef up the bigs depth, and there are great finds to be had at #12.

Whew, as the draft gets closer I made the mistake of seeking out draft analysis podcasts. One pod’s reason for concern about Toppin was that he played a bit stiff and was 22. I looked up robotic 22 yr old PF’s and it turns out you should draft them first for best results.
It also looked like there Is no advantage to drafting younger in regards to years played in the league or likelihood of success when drafting in the top 3.
In fact it seems more experienced/already successful top 3 picks have more successful NBA careers unless LeBron. LeBron aside, more successful younger/less experienced players seem to come from the middle of the 1st Rd than the top.
Stop giving away Wiggins. I want to see him develop with the Dubs. Don't trade for anyone over 30.
