Pels get
Durant

Nets get
Mitchell
JV
3 firsts

Jazz get
Daniels
Graham
Temple
2 firsts


Pelicans could keep BI, CJ, and Zion through all of this.

You think Utah is getting enough for Mitchell in that scenario?

Definitely need to specify what the firsts are for each recipient.

Something like this is the only we getting KD.

I wouldn’t give up Daniels though, it would have to be Jaxson instead

The interesting wrinkle in this hypotehitcal would be if the next Lakers swap goes to the Nets so that they have no desire to trade them Kyrie.

You realize who the Jazz have running their team?

Danny Ainge just got 4 firsts for Gobert.

This may actually be a viable path, but the Pels would likely be looking at all of the Lakers/Bucks and probably 3 of our own picks going out.

Now, is Gayle committed enough to be a luxury tax team for half a decade? Do you think you can keep the core together and KD ages gracefully enough that losing those picks is ok cause you’ll be competitive for long enough for it to not really matter?

It would be a hell of a gamble, but Utah is sort of a natural third team partner in this if Brooklyn insisted upon still being competitive since Utah seems focused on the draft if they blow it all the way up

The centerpiece is the picks dude… The only players that could/would be a centerpiece would be Zion and BI, and neither one of them are going out

Report: Raptors believe they can build best package for Kevin Durant, who’s ‘at least open’ to idea of playing in Toronto

OG
Gary Trent Jr
Scottie Barnes
23
25
27
29 1st rounders

That seems to be their best package

I think if you swapped siakam for OG you could keep Barnes. That’s what I would try to do anyway

Anyway in hell we could turn Graham into Beverly or Jax and Temple into Beverly if Utah is trying to blow things up?

Beverly can actually shoot spot up 3’s. Imagine Pat Bev and Jose on the same team lol.

The Lakers swap and Lakers unprotected picks are better than the Timberwolves picks.

Pelicans get
Durant

Nets get
Mitchell
JV
Pelicans 2024 pick
Bucks 2025 pick
Bucks 2027 pick

Jazz get
Graham
Lakers pick swap
Lakers 2024 or 2025 pick
Pelicans pick swap in 2025
Pelicans pick in 2026
