LAL - Orlando - NOP 

Post#1 » by Godaddycurse » Wed Dec 11, 2024 3:53 am

Orlando trade: KCP, Anthony
Orlando receive: McCollum, JHS, Wood

LAL trade: Russell, JHS, Wood
LAL receive: KCP, Theis

NOP trade: McCollum, Theis
NOP receive: Russell, Anthony

Why for Orlando: add scoring help and get out of 3rd year of KCP's contract when pablo's new deal kicks in
Why for LAL: add a PoA defender/3(?) + D wing for cheap
Why for NOP: duck the tax and create room next year for ingram's extension

Add 2nds as needed

I’d do it for ORL (but I’m sure many won’t). Great for LAL too, imo. I guess, at this point, it’s ok for NOLA’s reality.

Good job

I'd stick with KCP. Maybe he only works with Lebron/Jokic, but I'm not ready to concede that just yet. They can get a guy who does what CJ would do without having to give him up. And they shouldn't be afraid to trade a prospect or pick to get that guy.

Like it a lot for the other teams though. And an Orlando fan likes it so...

II like it.

Lakers would need a lined up backup PG from buyout or free agency I think.

The Pels desperately need a big. I think adding Bitadze would get the Pels attention.

Don't see Orlando doing this. While KCP hasn't been exactly what they'd hoped, CJ is such a putrid contract. The guy is a Jamal Crawford/Lou Williams level player, not worth anywhere near his contract.

Seem better for ORL without the Pels imo. Could get expiring and keep Anthony . Shop expiring for better fit than CJ.
