Ah, yes...you asked for it, so you got it! Alex Golden is joined by the guys from Pacers Group Chat (Carson, David and Lincoln) to conduct a 2023 NBA Mock Draft with trades!
Each person was assigned the role of GM for multiple teams. David was assigned to be the GM of the Spurs, Pacers, Thunder, Hawks, Nets, Celtics and Nuggets. Carson was assigned to be the GM of the Hornets, Pistons, Jazz, Mavericks, Suns, Warriors and Timberwolves. Lincoln was assigned to be the GM of the Blazers, Wizards, Pelicans, Lakers, Grizzlies, 76ers, Knicks and Cavaliers. Alex was assigned to be the GM of the Rockets, Magic, Raptors, Heat, Kings, Clippers, Bulls and Bucks.
GM's could submit trades to any team during this exercise. If a trade was proposed and accepted where the GM was managed by the same person, the other 3 acting GM's would vote on the trade in order for it to get through.
For this draft, there were 14 total trade offers and only 4 trades were accepted. The guys will share the trade offers when they're on the clock making the pick and let you know whether or not they accepted or declined the trade.
At the conclusion of the draft, the guys revisit the trades made, to better explain their thought process in making the deal. For those who weren't involved in the deal, they were asked to give their opinion on the trade.
