Grizz/Nets/Rockets all leave happy

[BelgradeNugget]

We not trading Vince or GG that’s a none negotiable

I tough Memphis would like to keep Jake LaRavia more than Vince. So after this trade I see something like this for Memphis

Ja Morant/Scotty Pippen Jr.
Desmond Bane/Jaylen Wells
Cam Johnson/Dorian Finney Smith,
Jaren Jackson Jr./Brandon Clarke
Zach Edey/Jay Huff

+Vince and GG

I probobly missed on depth chart some, but this team is legitimetly 12 deep. So would Jake be used than or no to him too?

Nope. We value Vince>>>>>>LaRavia. Vince is on a sweetheart deal and would likely be starting if he was healthy right now. I doubt we have any interest in CamJ on his salary and our needs and the asking price. DFS is the likely target here. Zero need for both.

To simplify from Nuggets perspective

Nuggets trade: Zake Nnaji, Jalen Pickett, 2031 1st unprotected
Recive: John Konchar, Santi Aldama

Yes or no?

I think we would do that deal, but likely rather not do the Konchar/Nnaji part and offer some protection on the pick that results in whatever 2nds are legal allowed to be traded if not convey that far out. But likely take it as is and work around Nnaji's money.

Denver's question is what is the best player they can get with that pick that works inside of their future salary concerns. I think it is smart to target a rookie contract guy that likely depresses his next contract some as an RFA.

Would be rough to lose both laravia and aldama for next year even if that pick could be valuable

Maybe, but if healthy we should be just fine with some growth from GG and VinceW. MLE should be available to address the forward spot too. But LaRavia might come back on his 5.2m with the opportunity for more playing time like Jalen Smith ended up doing in Indy after his option was declined.
