Man, I love this time of year when the pace of events that could potentially outpace the show

So we got to get to this New Orleans talk right away here for the purposes of this

We will assume that they'll have about 21 million dollars in cap space based on the AD trade with the Lakers

being consummated as of July 6, which is to New Orleans benefit

Some possibility according to the reporting that it could be later on July 30

Which would be to the Lakers benefit, but presumably some additional consideration would have to be provided for that

Since it will cost New Orleans cap space and the ability to have that number four pick in the program should they keep it

But that's where I want to start here Danny is with the possibility that that number four pick can be traded for a veteran

Generally that pick has been very valuable in past years you recall it got the Boston Celtics Ray Allen

I would not expect or it was number five that got them Ray Allen back in 2007

I would not expect that a player of that magnitude would be available

For a pick like that, but what I want to do here is go through some fake trades that I made up some of which I think are

Realistic some of which you know may not be but I think it's still an interesting thought exercise

So let's get to it here. I'm gonna start with Bradley Beale and Washington and most of these to be clear

Included conception where New Orleans is probably gonna have to include Solomon Hill and Etoon Moore going back to

Whichever team it is maybe they could reroute ball or ingram if they take those players

Into cap space and they're so therefore they could immediately be rerouted

There wouldn't be that aggregation restriction on them of two months, but we're getting too far field here

Bradley Beale is a package built around the number four pick just in a vacuum not even considering Washington's

Uncettled management situation at the moment is that enough for Bradley Beale who has two years left on his contract making the high 20s

Pre-year it's a it's a tough call. I think that I'm a little bit lower on Beale than some but I don't think that's quite enough

However, what I think is interesting is depending on how
