Jalen is probably our best young/cheap asset but I see him more as a quality backup than a starter on a quality team. Next best assets are probably Seth and Maxi. Sprinkle in a little Justin Jackson.

I wouldn't say the cupboard is bare. That GSW pick is like a late first round pick. I think if you are NO you want young players. I am not even sure Seth makes sense as he is 29. The best young assets we could package would be DFS, Jackson and Brunson + that GSW pick. I would not include Maxi bc he is much harder to replace in my opinion than DFS even though I do love DFS. NO would get 3 young players under contract for multiple years. New Orleans would probably start DFS and let Ingram be their PG with Redick as the other guard, Favors and Zion when he gets back.
I'd happily swap the GSW pick plus some of our young guys for Jrue, it just seems too good to be true.
p.s. I think Ingram gets traded at the TDL.
