Not much on here lately so . . . .
(plus saw the Ingram to CHA but added PHX)

CHA - sends MWilliams, NRichards, Thor
- gets GAllen, A.Reeves
CHA gets a sg that can really shoot. Ball/Allen/Miller should be a nice trio when hot.

PHX - sends Nurkic, R.O'Neale, G.Allen
- gets Ingram, NRichards, Thor
PHX adds another shooter in Ingram. If healthy, Beal/Booker/Ingram/Durant is scary. The 5th guy will not be great but that foursome is nice.

NO - sends Ingram, A.Reeves
- gets Nurkic, R.O'Neale, MWilliams
NO adds big bodies. It seems like NO has already decided to part ways with Ingram and this would shore up the weak spots.

* PHX being so high in salary made this not work on ESPN checker. Might need to add Little out and JAR in from NO.

Does PHX really need another high usage, no defense guy?

Might an upgrade to roleplayers be a better use of assets?

Phx can't aggregate players, meaning take on more salary than the highest player they send out

Nurkic ($18.1m) & any filler (+$2-18m) can't bring back any player making more than Nurkic


Bucks are also in the 2nd tax tier but with a much lower salary, so it'll be interesting to see how Phx manages this

Yup. Phoenix can’t reasonably acquire Ingram this year unless they trade out Durant, Booker, or Beal in the trade (or drop a ton of salary and end the trade below the second apron).

Charlotte does not want to trade Mark Williams
