Potential Trade Targets

Not really. He only started in 2 of 18 games this season. Last season he was a starter in 65 out of 79 games. His minutes, touches and shots taken all have gone down.

That was because last year they were destroyed by injuries. This year they have been pretty healthy since he got back and he isn't going to start over Ingram, Zion or Herb.

He should start over Herb.

Disagree and cap space is increasing

I'm not very interested in Ingram. He's a good player, but I don't think he has It, and he's gonna be crazy expensive (salary wise).

I am hearing rumblings that Mikal Bridges might be available. Is the price going to be too high? Would he fit better next to more dominant scorers in Markkanen and Sexton? I have always been a big fan but may not be willing to empty the cupboards either.

I saw that they might be sellers but it was from an aggregator twitter handle that is not real trustworthy at all. It depends on price and he should command a haul but if OKC isn't ready to throw their chips in there aren't a lot of teams with lots of picks that are also contenders.

Something has gone really wrong in Brooklyn... vibes or coaching or something. It feels like more than just losing.

In some way Bridges is the perfect fit but a lot of his value comes because of his budget friendly contract. So in a lot of ways the move after the Bridges move would be what determines its success. Can you capitalize on low cap numbers for him, Lauri, Walker, Collin?

What incentive do we have for doing that deal then?

No idea. Might have to be a 3 teamer. Just posted cuz it was interesting.

I'm kind of 100% in on Brandon Ingram know that I know he's an expiring max guy next off-season and New Orleans will certainly want to sell him and they are a lower tier franchise we can maybe bully.

Like the idea of having that jumbo sized playmaker next to Sexton (high energy scorer) and Lauri (off-ball scoring threat).

Grimes is the guy for me... go get him. He shoots 40% on three on high volume and is a good defender. His 3 ball is going up and in at a similar per minute rate to a certain Finnish 7 footer we employ. Hardy will unlock him.

I would probably look to move Ochai in a deal if we got him. Not that you can have too many 3 and D types... but its hard to have enough time for everyone.

Who is better between Grimes and Moody? Are their costs different?

 

[NAOS_pt2]

I'm not spending my loot on Ingram or Bridges. Bridges would be a great fit, but I refuse to believe the bidding wouldn't start somewhere far north of what Siakam just went for. I think Ingram would be a rental.

I'm with HH on Grimes. That's a cost-structure + player that makes sense to me right now

I think Grimes is better now but Moody should be better eventually... not sure. Per GS Moody isn't available. Per NY Grimes is available AF.

NY JC/Yurt for Fournier/Grimes I think is a well balanced deal for both.

I've just never been a huge Ingram fan. Its probably unfair but his game seems really unfun.
