Nets get an all-star caliber player to pair with Bridges/CamJ/CamT while still keeping picks and rookies. Bridges and Ingram bonded on team USA this summer. They also get Ingrams 2 BFFs and hometown hero in Jose A. Still have Simmons' contract slot and picks to add to their new core.

Sharpe/ Clowney/ Giles
CamJ/ Watford
Ingram/ Naji/ Whitehead
Bridges/ CamT/ Walker IV
Dinwiddie/ DSJ/ Jose
(-Simmons)

Pelicans have an early pass on Ingram's next contract, getting value while they can. Refocus shooting and defense around Z. O'Neale could be rerouted to 3rd team for value.

Jonas/ Claxton/ Zeller
Zion / Nance/ EJ
Murphy/ DFS/ O'Neale
Herb/ Hawkins
CJ / Dyson/ Kira
