FWIW Woj said that teams are targeting Garland and Coby White high in the lottery. Maybe Garland and White go 4 & 5?
I would not be surprised if Griff tries to move Lonzo and Hill for a veteran which could mean drafting one of Garland or White at 4.
He also could move the 4th for a veteran and hold onto to Lonzo.
The other option for him would be to get yet another pick at 7 for Lonzo but I'm not sure he would see that as enough return probably have to be a decent player coming back.
Maybe , they will need to look at a center probably. I'm not sold he loves Lonzo at all though other than his potential value in a tradeFrom everything I've seen Griffin apparently loves Lonzo Ball. Also rumors are he wants to deal the 4th pick for a vet even before the news of the trade being agreed to broke. Most rumors had a 3rd team involved getting the 4th pick. He likely wants to get a vet to come in and help with the culture considering the poisonous environment Ingram, Ball, and Hart just came from. Adding Zion, and then Ingram, Ball, Hart they likely want to bring in a player who can help lead the young guys they have.
Damn I miss Griff

I am thinking Reddish right now and using the JR contract to move for Langford.
There is a significant chance Hayes is the player taken at 4 with Lonzo and Jrue on the roster in New Orleans now and that move would increase Atlanta's interest in moving up to 5 for Culver or Hunter with Hayes being the other guy they have been reportedly high on taken, eliminating their need for paying 2 mid lottery picks. using 8 and 10 (not 8 and 17 or 10 and 17 which the Cavs wouldn't do) to move up to 5 seems reasonably possible especially with Claxton potentially available for Atlanta at 17.I am thinking Reddish right now and using the JR contract to move for Langford.
I would be happy with that. Kevin Porter or Alexander-Walker instead of Langford would also be good. If we could land Cam Johnson or Carsen Edwards at #26 I think that would be icing.
If we take Reddish and then Porter/NAW/Langford I would much prefer a big at 26. Samanic or Claxton would be perfect.
Same here - I really want HachimuraI think my dream scenario is still finding a way to come away with Reddish, Hachimura, and one of Porter/NAW/Langford.
