Kings out: Demar, Lavine
Kings in: MPJ, Dejounte, Zeke

Why for Sac? Bad contracts for bad contracts. Only these ones fit the roster long term a lot better.
(Dejounte) - Keon - Keegan - MPJ - Sabonis
Monk - Carter - Nique - LaRavia* - JVal

Nuggets out: MPJ, Nnaji, 2031 1st
Nuggets in: Demar, Herb Jones

Why for Nuggets? Get a reliable scorer off the bench + a defensive wing to step into the starting SF role. They also save nearly 8 million dollars a year.
Murray - Braun - Herb - Gordon - Jokic
Russ - Demar - Strawther - Watson - Tyson - Holmes

Pelicans out: Dejounte, Herb
Pelicans in: LaVine, 2031 Nuggets 1st

Why for Pelicans? Get off the Dejounte contract for a more immediate impact player. Pick up a high variance future 1st
Fears - LaVine - Murphy - Zion - Missi
Alvarado - Poole - Bey - Queen

Not the worst trade offer I've seen for Denver, but I feel like they need to get some shooting back if they're gonna move MPJ. Braun, Watson, DeRozan, Jones...that's a lot of bricks.

Thats fair. Herb is a season away from 40% from 3, and playing off Jokic/Murray, I'd hope he could hover around 36-38% in Denver. Demar was also semi-solid from the corner last year shooting 3s.

Posted another variation where LaVine goes to Denver. If nothing else he was a 45% 3pt shooter last year, maybe that's better for all parties?

Think Denver owes value even if you don’t make Sac take on Nnaji.

I like this offer better, even though Denver has to give up a draft pick. I'd rather bet on Herb bouncing back than trading MPJ for Levine. Not a Levine fan at all. Just feels like you'd be swapping two mediocre players for the sake of it.
