CHA - NOP
Posted: Tue Jan 9, 2018 5:56 am
CHA Gets: Solomon Hill, Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca, 2018 NOP 1st (top 3 protected), option to swap with 2019 NOP 1st, 2020 NOP 1st (top 3 protected), option to swap with 2021 1st, & 2022 NOP 1st (top 3 protected)
CHA Gives: Nic Batum & Kemba Walker
Why for CHA? They hit the reset button and get a few first round picks (and swaps) for Walker while shortening Batum's deal via Hill, Asik, & Ajinca (if he opts into his contract that is). At 26, Hill still could potentially live up to his contract and become a positive asset.
PG - Carter-Williams / Stone
SG - Lamb / Monk / Graham
SF - Kidd-Gilchrist / Hill / Bacon
PF - Williams / Kaminsky / O'Bryant
C - Howard / Zeller / Asik / Ajinca

NOP Gets: Nic Batum & Kemba Walker
NOP Gives: Solomon Hill, Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca, 2018 NOP 1st (top 3 protected), option to swap with 2019 NOP 1st, 2020 NOP 1st (top 3 protected), option to swap with 2021 1st, & 2022 NOP 1st (top 3 protected)
Why for NOP? The Pelicans go all in with their Davis/Cousins core and add another star player along with taking a chance on a big contract who hopefully returns to being the glue guy he was in Portland.
PG - Walker / Rondo / Nelson / Jackson
SG - Holiday / Moore / Clark
SF - Batum / Miller / Allen
PF - Davis / Cunningham / Diallo
C - Cousins
