3 team trade

Kings Pelicans Wizards


Kings trade - Fox Lyles McDermott

Get Kuzma Valancinus Herb Jones (2 1st from NO) (3 2nds from Washington)

Pelicans Get - Fox Lyles

Wizards gets Ingram McDermott

31 Jan 2025 01:32:57
Think the above trade may be bad for every team. Pelicans won’t be able to resign Fox in 2026. Ingram will run for his life from wizards. Kings not getting enough.

29 Jan 2025 10:16:07
Fox wants out, HOU has the assets, SAC want to get young players & assets only, ORL needs guard scoring.

HOU gets Fox, J. Isaac

Fox/ Sheppard
J. Green/ A. Thompson
D. Brooks/
T. Eason/ J. Isaac
Sengun/ Adams

ORL gets F. VanVleet

FVV/ C. Anthony
Suggs/ G. Harris
Wagner/ KCP
Banchero/ M. Wagner/ DaSilva
Carter/ Bitadze

SAC gets JabariSmith, C. Whitmore, A. Black, C. Houstan + PHO 2027 pick

One young player in every position except center where they have Sabonis.

29 Jan 2025 15:57:45
Horrible for the Kings. Need to add at least 2 more firsts.

29 Jan 2025 17:14:57
I feel like Reed would be a necessity for Sacramento if Houston wanted Fox. Similar to SA and Castle.

Whitmore, Reed, salaries to match, and two firsts feels right.

29 Jan 2025 20:37:13
I think that's a great package for Sacramento. I just don't really like VanVleet for Orlando.

29 Jan 2025 20:37:55
And I don't think the Spurs give up Castle for Fox.

31 Jan 2025 19:20:09
If the headliner of the Fox return is Jabari Smith, there has to be a good number of firsts to justify the trade. That's why I don't like the proposal.

17 Jan 2025 19:35:45
MEM receive:
-Brandon Ingram

NOP receive:
-Luke Kennard
-Jake LaRavia
-Tim Hardaway Jr.
-2025 & 2027 1st Round Picks (MEM)

DET receive:
-Marcus Smart
-2026 2nd Round Pick (LAC via MEM)
-2027 2nd Round Pick (CHI via NOP)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The trade market for Ingram at the deadline is going to be very underwhelming. The Pelicans main priority will be to duck under the $170M luxury tax threshold - and dumping Ingram for a couple picks and expiring contracts will save them millions down the road.

18 Jan 2025 05:12:11
That's far from an underwhelming return for Ingram. I like this trade for all teams.

18 Jan 2025 12:58:39
Ingram is a ball-stopper and not a very good defender. It doesn't make sense to give two firsts to a guy who is not a good fit.

20 Jan 2025 15:34:26
Do not love it neither for what MEM is giving up nor for what DET gets.

14 Jan 2025 23:02:41
ORL/PHX

ORL get Grayson Allen & 2nd round pick

PHX get Mo Wagner (buyout?) & 1st round pick (lottery protected)


PHX try to get some asset to complete a Jimmy Butler deal, ORL can use a hardnosed player in Grayson especially when injuries are bugging them

05 Jan 2025 16:29:27
Washington - New Orleans

Washington get Zion Williamson

New Orleans get Kyle Kuzma, Corey Kispert, pick swap

05 Jan 2025 15:33:45
New Orleans - Chicago

New Orleans get Pat Williams & Nikola Vucevic + a highly protected 1st

Chicago get Zion Williamson

04 Jan 2025 21:50:57
Miami Heat / New Orleans Pelicans

Miami Heat: Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, 1st.

New Orleans Pelicans:Jimmy Butler, Duncan Robinson, Kevin Love.

03 Jan 2025 10:07:49
What is better for Miami?

PiSTONS get Jimmy Butler
HEAT get Brandon Ingram and Tim Hardaway
PELICANS get Isaiah Stewart, Ausar Thompson and Kevin Love

or

PISTONS get Jimmy Butler
HEAT get Zach LaVine and 1st round pick from Pistons
BULLS get Ausat Thompson, Tim Hardaway and Simone Fontechio.

03 Jan 2025 15:37:01
Not good.

04 Jan 2025 17:20:05
you smoking crack if you think the Pistons would trade Ausar AND a 1st round pick for a washed Butler.

02 Jan 2025 02:22:54
Pacers - Pelicans

Pacers get Brandon Ingram

Pelicans get Aaron Mesmith, Obi Toppin, Jarace Walker, 1st round pick & pick swap

Obi & Toppin are 2 young bigs they can develop especially when Zion is gone

Pacers go all in and get a star to pair with their core

Haliburton/McConnell
Mathurin/Nembhard
Ingram/Sheppard
Siakam/Furphy
Turner/Bryant/Jackson

02 Jan 2025 10:10:31
Ingram is not a star and has little value, certainly not this value.

28 Dec 2024 23:03:11
Dallas - Jones, Theis, Sign W.Hernangomez
New Orl - 1st, Prosper, Kleber, Morris

29 Dec 2024 00:00:53
You have to atleast give Lively if you want Jones, which you wont do right?

29 Dec 2024 17:58:51
Dream on.

30 Dec 2024 19:33:34
Jones for Lively straight up actually kind of makes sense to me. Value seems similar enough.

23 Dec 2024 14:07:12
Portland-Brooklyn-Pelicans

Portland get: Ben Simmons (exp) & 1st round pick Brooklyn
- get a huge expiring money and open up more playing time for Clingan

Brooklyn get: Zion Williamson & Jeremiah Robinson-Earl
- can afford to sit him whole season

Pelicans get: Deandre Ayton & Cam Thomas
- get 2 young talented pieces who are relatively more healthy. Tired of Zion and I really dont care about his value

Pelicans should trade CJ and Ingram elsewhere and let Cam be their guy

Murray
Thomas
Herb
Murphy
Ayton

23 Dec 2024 19:54:05
I really like this trade, well done.

23 Dec 2024 08:34:51
Orl: Fox
Kings: Isaac+c Anthony+ 1rnd pick 25-27-29+ 1rnd pick Denver 25+ 1rnd pick Was or phoe 26

Orl
C:Bitadze/Carter
PF:Banchero/ M Wagner
SF:F Wagner/Caldwell pope
SG:Suggs/Caldwell pope
PG:Fox/Black

23 Dec 2024 18:15:24
would love this for orlando.

23 Dec 2024 20:37:04
I like it for both, perhaps add a couple of swaps and I think both teams accept.

24 Dec 2024 21:00:32
Thats not a bad idea. at all.

19 Dec 2024 20:37:30
We like Finney Smith a lot, but Herbert Jones is the better player and 5 years younger als well - and that trade make sense and might be on the table soon:

Pelicans:
- 1st pick
- Prosper
- Kleber
- Morris

Mavericks:
- Jones
- Theis
- Green

20 Dec 2024 12:45:02
LOL way too light for jones.

21 Dec 2024 00:57:55
You'd have to offer Marshall and multiple firsts just to get the Pelicans to even consider it.

25 Dec 2024 08:35:25
Prosper needs only 2 years playing to become a great 3&D player as well. He fits the Pelicans timeline much better and he has the frame of a power forward - what Pels need when they sell Zion. So Prosper and a 1st is a very good offer!

11 Dec 2024 14:03:43
NOP/GS/MIA

NOP - Jonathan Kuminga, DeAnthony Melton (exp), Duncan Robinson, 1st round pick GSW
- Pelicans needs healthy legs, they trade away Zion for a rising star in Kuminga

Murray
McCollum
Ingram
Kuminga
Missi

GS - Jimmy Butler
- adds a star next to Curry

Curry
Hield
Butler
Green
Jackson-Davis

MIA - Zion Williamson, Andrew Wiggins
- gets Zion and hope he gets healthy, he is an interesting fit with Bam

Herro
Wiggins
Jacquez
Williamson
Adebayo

11 Dec 2024 16:19:05
I'd pay good money to see Zion deal with Heat culture.
