Suns/Pelicans 

Post#1 » by Crives » Thu Mar 14, 2019 11:54 pm

Suns trade:
2019#2 + Jackson+ Tyler Johnson + Milwaukee 1st

Pelicans trade:
2019#9 + Jrue

Suns get their ideal backcourt partner for Book. Suns also get Clarke at #9 to fill their main hole at pf.

Pelicans get young potential franchise player with 9 years of team control with a few young assets added in (Jackson +1st)

Depends on Phoenix' goals. Personally, I'd just take Ja Morant and be happy with the potential of Morant/Booker/Bridges/Ayton.

Definitely a good option for Phoenix. Morant would be fun in PHX.
This is an interesting take because suns will be very interested in Clarke and he fills a big need.

Like it for phoenix myself, particularly if they took clarke at 9. Not sure how pel fans would feel but suns are offering significant assets. Well done by OP.

I have posted this one before and both teams fans seem to like it IF Morant is off the board.

So make it #4 or #5, with Morant gone, and maybe add something from Suns. But yeah, this trade is probably on the table for Suns and NOP.

From NOP, if they then trade Davis for Knicks package — wow what a war chest of assets and youth.

Yeah, hopefully New Orleans fans can get some good pieces to be excited about this summer after all the Klutch garbage they had to go through.

Not sure if the trade works at 4 or 5. Maybe suns would have to swap Jackson for warren. If we included Bridges we should be able to remove our 1st completely.

Bulls are another option to go after Holiday if Morant is off the board.

I don't think you'd have to include Jackson here. The difference in talent between 9 and 2 plus the Milwaukee first seems enough.

Hey uh guys Jrue is not a PG idk why every seems to think he is. He doesn’t like playing it and is much better suited to play the 2. It would o my work if Booker can take steps forward as a playmaker.

Getting Morant would be a great option, but we are also need a PF and this trade would allow us to plug both of the holes on our roster. If Morant continues to impress and blows away the suns during workouts I don’t think they will pass on him.

It would work well though as Booker is taking steps as a playmaker and ball handler. He isn’t a good first option but great secondary playmaker so I think the dynamic there would be perfect.

Exactly, only downside is Holiday is 29. But maybe adding a high quality vet is exactly what the Suns need.

Hopefully Melton would be able to swap roles with Holiday in 3-4 years when Holiday starts declining.

This is why the suns would get youth back through the Pelicans 1st.
