2nd overal pick 2023
2024 2nd round pick (NOP)

For
1st pick 2023
Kyle Anderson 2023/2024-7.5mil with 4.5mil paid via previous deal
Gabe Vincent 2023/2024-0.5mil, 2024/2025-0.5mil
2024 2nd round pick (DET)

DET does this as they hate losing pick one with a talent like Victor. We would not have moved back if it wasnt for the 2 spot. Based on his build I am afraid for injuries in the future. I also have chet coming in. I pick up a lot of good young guys and like who I can take at number 2. DET may end up hating this in the future but they didnt want to put all their hopes in one basket. They get their PG/C/SF and a backup pg or a trade asset. Then they have pick number 2 for their rebuild. The talks were back and forth but enjoyable, gl NOP

Pelicans confirm.  I decided to consolidate some assets and go after Wembanyama.  I was set on Scoot at 1.2, but I already have Antman and Booker so Scoot would have been redundant as would Miller had I went that route.  I don't like moving Sengun, but Wembanyama will take his place at C and I'm okay with Jarrett Allen and Wiseman as his backup.  This should help both teams.

Thanks for the negotiations.

   Wembanyama hype is real, nice haul here and saw him dealt for Giannis in other league
