Im swinging for the fences.

The only holdup is if ATL is truly ready to shed salary and trade Trae too. Im giving them 3 FRPs to rebuild too.

I would then pivot to signing one of the following:

Claxton
Hartenstien
Wiseman

Your 2024-25 Pelicans:

Allen
Zion
Trey
Herb
Murray

Jose (TO)
CJ
Hawk
Dyson @ PF
Center off of list

I saw a report this morning saying the Spurs had no interest in Trae, although they would have interest in Murray if he was available. I know the Hawks want to move Trae, but I don't think they'll be able to unless they are really ready to cut their losses and take a low ball offer.

I like this trade for Murray and Allen except I feel Cleveland is getting off cheap here and Atlanta is getting screwed a little. Cleveland probably needs to send a 1st to Atlanta. This also hinges on Mitchell forcing his way out of Cleveland so the Cavs would want Ingram.

My man, we aren't trading BI and 3 firsts for Jarrett Allen and Dejounte.
BI for Allen would have us getting back 2-3 firsts. LeVert might be worth a late first. He's a chucker who isn't good from 3.
Getting Dejounte would take 3 firsts and Levert, and even then ATL might want more.

Hartenstien isn't going anywhere. He's a Knick for the next few years.

We dont' need Allen and Claxton, two guys who can't shoot. they are essentially they same player. We need a 5 that can shoot, either as the starter or the backup.

I don't mind trying to get Allen, but i really want to make a push for Lauri or KAT. They are the type of centers we need to have with Zion. I know Allen is a great lob threat, and that's absolutely needed if you can't shoot, but having a 5 that can shoot will open up so much for this team, and both Lauri and KAT have enough creation in their game to take BI's spot as the #2 guy.


Everyone loves CJ's new shot chart, and i've shown you guys that it has a ton to do with him being the #3 guy on the team as opposed to the #2, which is what he's been his whole career. CJ took 9 three's in game 1. He also took 9 mid range shots and only 4 shots near the rim. You remove BI and don't replace him with a true #2, then CJ's shot chart will revert back to taking more mid range shots. During that 12 game stretch after BI got hurt CJ went from taking 21% of his shots as mid range shots when both BI and Zion were playing, to taking 34% of his shots as mid range shots with no BI. If CJ is our only #2 guy, we aren't winning shite. CJ as our #3 guy makes us a contender.
