NBA Trade Rumors |

Don't think we have the ammo to get Jrue, at least not at the TDL.

Would Curry, Brunson, Jackson, Lee, GSW 2nd round pick and our 2025 first get it done? That's a pretty good package with the picks.

One thing with uneven players is you have to consider whether or not NO has guys they want to cut or ship back for incoming players. I think in this scenario Moore would get cut and then you still have to find two more cuts even if you plan on cutting Lee shortly thereafter. Okafor is a guy you might be able to cut and bring back if NO likes him at vet min. I don't know ab guys at the end of their bench. But you don't see a lot of 4 for 1 player trades.

Lee is purely a salary filler, not someone they would desire other than the savings from his expiring so it's really more of a 3 for 1 as far as players they would use, but I understand what you're saying. Maybe we could add more salary to get Favors also.

Right but the receiving team still has to make cuts so you have to make sure what they are getting is worth them cutting potentially 3 players before Lee gets bought out. Remember we had to cut Mejri in the Sacramento trade and then bring him back afterwards. If you have a lopsided trade in terms of players incoming and outgoing you need to account for that. Favors would make the problem worse bc you have to find even more salary filler which means the trade might even be more lopsided. Maybe the Pelicans have 4 guys they can easily cut, I have no idea really but sometimes teams have draft picks and whatnot at the end of their bench they don't want to cut.

My bad. I see what you're saying.
