Pelicans out: Moore+ Miller + Favors + Cavs 2020 1st + Lakers 2021 1st
Pelicans in: Blake Griffin

Pistons out: Blake Griffin
Pistons in: Fournier + Moore + Miller + Cavs 2020 1st + Magic 2020 1st(lotto protected)

Celtics out: Jaylen Brown + Theis
Celtics in: Favors + Lakers 2021 1st

Magic out: Fournier + Magic 2020 1st(lotto protected)
Magic in: Jaylen Brown + Theis

Pelicans- Ball/Jrue/Ingram/Zion/Blake with Jackson/NAW/Hart/Okafor off the bench should be a playoff team. They could also try Ingram+ for Covington to further solidify that

Pistons rebuild and get a couple picks

Celtics get a big they desperately need

Magic cut a lot of salary and get someone matching Fultz/AG/Isaac's timeline

Detroit won't do this. They're in it to contend this year and if things fall off the rails, a team like Portland would make a better offer for Blake.

Can Blake really play FT center or will 6’6” Zion be switching? Seems like a recipe for disaster if you ask me.

Orlando says yes. I like the idea and think we’ll use a future pick to acquire a player prior to one of our core players (for ex. Bamba).

I'm conflicted on this because even though I don't really have a problem with value as far as the Magic are concerned I am concerned about Brown's next contract and think there is a good he's going to get overpaid in the offseason. I think the bigger problem is I can't see Detroit doing this deal.

I dont see Boston trading Brown for a guy who’s about to become a UFA next year.

rather keep Fournier and pick then pay brown

Nawlins will pass. Blake would need to be shooting 38% from three to even consider and still, I wouldn't do it.

He would be your best 3 point shooter anyways with how he creates his own on so many attempts

Edit: aside from JJ who i forgot you signed

Blake Griffin made more pull-up three-pointers on a better percentage last season than Kyrie Irving, CJ McCollum, and Devin Booker.

That 1.8% difference you're complaining about equals 27 points over a season based on his numbers last year.

3 points every 10 games.

If thats the difference between wanting someone like Blake or not I think your metrics need a rework
