Realistically trading CJ/ Hawk/ Jose for Claxton/ Cam Johnson would be the best option IMO.
You then take Olynyk and can get a vet SG for $15MIL
S&T Bruce Brown for a $10-20MIL TPE and then pick up another vet PG/ SF.
Team stacked, league fricked.
Murray/ $15MIL/ Reeves
Trey/ $15MIL TPE/ Top 5 pick
Zion/ Herb/ Vet
Cam J/ Karlo/ Vet
Claxton/ Missi/ Vet

Actually...I think the Hornets are looking for a way to move LaMelo...even if it has nothing to do with Zion. And fwiw...I want NO part of LaMelo either.
This is the dumbest post I've seen today.

Rest assured...I want Zion...GONE...for whatever it takes. I've seen enough to KNOW...I've seen enough...of Zion Williamson in NO !!!

So...am I to assume that you do NOT think the Hornets are looking to trade LaMelo? Just curious.

There was rumors during the deadline that Charlotte was considering trading lamelo this summer. You could be right. Don’t want lamelo either
I just don’t see why’d they would want Zion but give up on lamelo. Doesn’t feel like that moves the needle enough for them

I think the Hornets are in a very similar spot than us. Little success with their superstar and not sure whether to trade him or get him help.
If Charlotte had the option to trade Lamelo or keep Lamelo and add Zion then I believe they trade for Zion 10/10 times.
I think the Hornets may shop Lamelo but I do not think they are looking to trade him unless all teams on their upgrade list say "no".

Consider how split our own fan base is on trading Zion with our lack of success. Now consider Lamelo being more productive/ available and never having half the help that we had through Zion's career.
They are not looking to give up on Lamelo unless they just don't have any options.

LeMelo is a career loser with a flashy game who doesn’t win games. Waste of time.

I want nothing to do with Lamelo. Especially when we just traded for Murray.
At the same time Lamelo has had the LEAST amount of help or support out of any superstars. He got screwed by Bridges missing (2) seasons when he was playing really well and they just added Miller/ Williams who are essentially the only other (2) players that have been worth a shite the last 2 years.
He's had no true Center and no true SG as a primetime PG. That's pretty rough.

You can't even compare the lack of success between the Pels/ Hornets because they never actually had a team to be successful. And most of that has nothing to do with Lamelo while ours has alot to do with Zion.

We may be lagging for Flagg or we may be in 8th hoping that someone like KJ out of Illinois is a perfect fit for us because we missed on the top tier talent.
Exactly. This is a stupid discussion to be having now. This will be a good topic after we know where we will be picking.

Why in the world would the nets do this? They wanted two firsts just for Cam. So you think Hawk and CJ will make it happen?
Maybe we can trade Missi for Wemby after.

No.... Picks would definitely be included.
I actually messed that up, I think we would have to send CJ/ Hawk/ Jose to make the money work.
Full trade something like:
Nets: 26' 1st/ 27' 1st/ 28' swap/ CJ/ Hawk/ Jose
Pels: Claxton/ Cam J/ 2025 2nd (should be right outside the top 30)
They can also trade CJ/ Hawk/ Jose and add more picks to that. Or take out the swap and 2nd knowing they will get 2nds from those players.

Awful take. Zion’s been a steady contributor on a playoff team. Lamelo’s availability has been almost as bad as Zion and he’s a significantly more inefficient scorer and player. Lamelo is a losing player with a good highlight reel. Zion is objectively one of the most efficient scorers in the league. Idk what Charlotte’s fans would say but their FO would take Zion for Lamelo every time

It’s hard for young guys to develop when their PG is an inefficient ball hog who can’t shoot

True enough. Just wanted to get a read on everyone's headspace.
An interesting scenario would be if Pels jumped to first overall and 76ers got the second pick. Then we're bringing in Flagg and they could take Harper as their new lead guard. A trade built around Zion & Maxey could make sense for both teams under those circumstances.
But of course a lot of this depends on a) how the lottery goes; and b) if any of these guys actually push for a trade.

Putting Zion and Embiid on the same team seems incredibly stupid from an injury perspective.
So of course Philly would be interested.

You don’t trade Zion for one of them, you trade for one of them to pair with Zion.

I'm pretty sure Hornets fans don't want to trade Lamelo and they want to get another star. And I'm pretty sure Zion would be in the top 3 best choices/ fan favorites if not being #1.
And I don't see any current teams trading superstar for superstar. The point is to have both of them or many young assets.
It would be absolutely pointless for us to trade Zion for Embid/ Lamelo/ Trae/ KD/ Giannis. Especially if it would COST us. Trading Z for any of the 3 aging PFs is a terrible move and those teams don't have assets. Lamelo and Trae are in the same situation and both teams want to pair a Zion with those guys before giving up on them.
Neither Trae or Lamelo have had that guy with them to see the potential. This is exactly why those same teams are hesitant to get rid of them. Now Trae/ Lamelo requesting out because of those same reasons? Definitely possible.
I highly doubt Maxey/ Edwards/ SGA are available and that is your ideal fit. So our best option is to see what players are available and for how many picks and draft for PG/ SG.
