What does a trade with them look like? I hadn't considered the Kings a major player in our potential trade talks.

All quiet on the Western Front, star players in the last year of their contract who want to leave can pick where they want to go.

I would take Suggs, WCJ and that 2025 Detroit pick and call it a fair trade

If they want to being in Ingram and keep their salary cap space then add Issac, Anthony, or Mo Wagner depending on how much cap they want to keep

For the Kings I could see Barnes, Mitchell and Murray out, Ingram and Jose in

We could then flip Barnes and his salary to Cleveland with picks for Allen

No, Magic seem to want to play big, I could realistically see them looking at Ingram as their 2 next to Fultz and keeping Franz at the 3-4

No shot Ingram plays SG. At least I can’t see it. I can’t see him keeping up with guards defensively all game

It doesn't make sense for the magic. They value defense and have a few young developing players in the wings.

It be a dream to have Franz but I doubt it.

I don’t see why, he would take Trey’s starting spot coming off a year where he seriously regressed and shot 28% from 3.

I would rather Suggs over Franz.

1) He would be cheaper on an extension (likely in the 20 mil range)

2) He shoots better from 3

3) He could be our lead guard of the future, and is a good fit alongside Herb and both of them together would be a defensive nightmare for opposing backcourts.

Jonathan Isaac, Cole Anthony, and Denver 2025 1st for Brandon Ingram works on Trade Machine

Wouldn't hate that deal

we can get better from other teams. Too low of value.

One thing Griff has consistently done well is create a market, or at least the illusion of a market, when he’s trying to make a trade. I would expect to hear of multiple teams going after Ingram.

What else is realistically on offer?

A Kings deal would center on Huerter and Barnes.

A Sixers deal likely weighs heavy on picks and cap space / TPE.

What can Phoenix offer? Booker? Not taking fricking Beal.

I think most of the fanbase is grossly overestimating BI’s trade value. Isaac and Anthony fit both on and off court IMO.

You guys that are down on BI for his fit are just being absurd about his value in the league. But as I said yesterday, the haul or non haul will depend on how many other players are on the market. Paul George is likely the first choice over BI for a lot of these teams. If the Clips pay him, BI jumps to the top of the list with multiple bidders.

If I were a Magic fan, I’d be pretty non plussed about going forth to win a title with Bachero, Ingram and Wagner. Banchero is great. Not sure about adding ingram.

But give me 2 out of Suggs, Anthony and WCJ for Ingram and run to accept as a pelican fan. Turning an expiring Ingram into two young pieces that can run and play on both ends would be a huge win.

One thing that is just painful to watch is how slow our current starting five are and play. Ingram, CJ, Jonas are just slow. Herb and Trey are long but not exactly quick in pace either. Would love to get faster and more athletic.

For sure Pels need to be faster and more athletic, pace though is largely dictated by your point/post and that exasperated the problem. Pels point or lack of has been beaten like a mule but Val/Nance could have helped more from the post just by being better outlet passers ...players gravitate to the ball and far too often it was being walked up. When looking for an ideal center for the Pels I keep thinking where is Bill Walton?

Didn’t the kings want Ingram for Fox a few years ago and we turned them down. It was before they trade Haliburton.
