2 deals with Phoenix, we need a SG and they need to drop salary and sign role players. Please let me know what you think or how you’d change the trade

Orlando sends: WCJ + Black + Howard + Bitadze + Houstan + 24 FRP + Den 25 FRP + Phoenix pick swap + 26 FRP * 28 FRP + multiple 2nd round picks

Phoenix sends: Devin Booker
* Isaac added to the deal if needed for a bad contract

Alternative deal

Orlando sends: 2025 Den FRP + Harris SnT

Phoenix sends: Bradley Beal


Both reduce, salary, give picks back, and some depth in the Booker deal. The Bradley Beal deal is a cheap alternative where we could potentially pick up a SG easily if he agrees. The contract is bad, but he would be a good fit next to Suggs in my opinion, and now is the time to get him while his stock is low.

Why would Phoenix do this deal to send out Booker? So they add depth in Center position for WCJ and Goga. Then Two rookies plus a second round pick Houstan. I thought they are contending for Championship next season by signing their HC. No way they do this deal.

Bradley Beal has the worst contract in the whole of NBA.

I'd take him if they send us couple of picks maybe, but they dont have any...

That would be a blow it up deal for the Suns.

He's a good kid

[Knightro]

Independent of whether or not he's a good fit, I don't think Ingram is going to cost *that* much in terms of what the Pelicans get back in a trade.

The Pelicans above all else seem to want to avoid the luxury tax.

With Murphy and Jones ready to be their starting wings, it feels like if the Pelicans can shed the salary and also get a better answer to their PG spot, that's what they're really looking at above all else.

Ingram also going into the last year of his deal IMO hurts the Pelicans leverage.

I don’t mind being a 3rd wheel but don’t want BI.

What does *not* cost much you think is?

Expiring or PO of Gary Ingles Fultz etc? Plus picks? Cuz if they are asking like oneof our core 3 then its a non starter

[fendilim]

Why not go for Lonzo?

[thelead]

Why not go for Lonzo?

The dude that hasn’t played for close to 3 years?

[thelead]

I take a few days off from this forum and come back to Ingram rumors… WTF? Minus his first season where he played in 79 games, he’s averaging 57 games per season over his last 7 seasons. I mean, if we get him for ‘free’, I guess it’s better than overpaying Klay.

I’m starting to lean towards kicking the can down the road and go all in on Donovan Mitchell next summer.

[RookieStar]

Well... we sure like those injured for many seasons type of players..

[pepe1991]

That Ingram rumor to me makes no sense, we really have no usage of another mediocre shooter with high usage on ball who doesn't like to play without ball.

Seems like people watching the Magic for once

I see the vision…

We resign Fultz for 4 years and trade for BI.

The Orlando Bulls

Mediocre shooter feels overly harsh.

Since arriving in New Orleans, he’s got a .472/.372/.847 slash line. He’s made 517 three pointers as a Pelican, ya know?

If Paolo had that slash line (and yes, I know he’s 6 years younger and ideally will have an even better slash line by the time he’s 27), we’d all be doing backflips

[byeganyo]

So yesterday i thought about CJ Mccolum, today i goggled it and of course there is a rumor linking him to us -

https://sportsnaut.com/cj-mccollum-trade-rumor-landing-spots/

Better shooter and passer than BI and can play pg/sg.
