The full answer was a much more milquetoast “I’m making the pick but Jordan is still the owner and gets final say but also we’re having ongoing discussions with the new owners” M

I'm pretty sure they're in a similar position OKC was when they made their trade, they cannot sign all their upcoming first rounders so they need to move some of their picks for later ones. Denver has done a great job taking advantage of the situation both of those teams were in.

They were never gonna draft 5 rookies and give all 5 minutes on a team that's already pretty young. They kick the can down the road on 29 until next year (pick might even be better than 29 next year) and get 40 for another trade.

Yeah the Pacers had 5 picks this draft and were never gonna keep them all. I think this means they figured they aren't gonna use any of them for a trade for a player or to move up so they decided to pick up another first later.

It's useful to have a large man to get in the way at a high level

If Lebron's GMing while playing is any indication he will be a similar quality owner as MJ for his Vegas team in 5-10 years.

Lebron will post through it instead of just leaving to play golf and blackjack with Charles Oakley. That's going to be way better.
