Suns/Hornets/Pelicans 

Post#1 » by louc1970 » Tue Apr 2, 2024 4:45 pm

Because it was mentioned in a previous thread about moving Booker:

Suns trade Booker
Suns receive Richards, Micic, Bridges (4yr/$90)
Suns get a PG in Micic, allow Beal to be the 2G, get Bridges as a SF/PF to run with Durant. Suns save a few million. Start a nice regrouping if they can off-load Beal. phoenix is going to need players (role players).
Micic, Beal, Bridges, Durrant, Richards

Hornets trade Bridges, Richards, Micic
Hornets receive Ingram
Putting Ingram with Ball and Miller and potential top 5 pick would be a major coupe.
Ball, Miller, Ingram, (lotto Pick Risacher), Williams

Pelicans trade Ingram
Pelicans receive Booker
Booker, Williamson, Jones, Murphy, with a potential pick of Collier (late lottery) and then Chomche (late first round) gives Pelicans a different dynamic that could produce for the next several years.

Teams further enhanced if Suns can offload Beal and the Pelicans can move McCollum.

Phoenix is heading nowhere with the current aged lineup. Beal at $50m for 18 points is just bad for Phoenix.

I got this Booker>>>Ingram>>SNT Bridges>than Micic and Richards(both only worth 2nds).

Suns need a lot more here, mostly from Charlotte but some from Pelicans too.

Charlotte really has no place in this trade.

Yeah, and the solution is trading Booker for (very) minor pieces.

How do you fix/improve/equal the trade?

The money being pretty close ($3-4m either way), Charlotte could add one of Nick Smith/ Seth Curry/Cody Martin/2nd rounders.
Pelicans could offer up Hawkins, Liddel, maybe worse 24 FRP.

Statistically Ingram/Bridges are very close. Add in Booker:
21.5 - 21.4 pts 27.5
7.4 - 4.9 boards 4.6
3.3 - 5.8 assists 7.0
37.7% - 36.1% 3s 37.1%
53.4% - 53.3% eFG% 55.1%

Phoenix gets Bridges plus rotational pieces. Booker alone is not going to win much. What will Durrant/Beal return if traded?

Value is way off here. Suns are getting robbed blind. The Suns aren’t giving up Booker for role players. Even cutting out the Hornets, Suns wouldn’t even consider Booker for Ingram, but if they did, the Pels would have to add considerable assets to make it happen.

Phoenix could trade Booker into pure cap space and 4+ 1sts to a team like Det....they then turn that trade into a 3way sending a single 1st and maybe some 2nds for Bridges SNT/Micic/Richards.

Pels owe 3 first rounders and 3 swaps here, Hornets 2 probably. And Suns would still probably decline.

This trade is bad and you should feel bad. Not just as a poster on RealGM, but as a human being. This trade proposal makes you a bad person. Ethically, spiritually as well physically.

You are a bad person.

Equal to some of the folks that occupy both American prisons and prisons that are around the world.

I'm not saying the government should kick in your front door and jail you for posting this....but I'm not NOT saying it either.

think that half the league will easily beat that offer... Booker is worth much more... The Suns have not stopped shooting themselves in the foot, shortening their window incomprehensibly... changing your boy entering his prime to better satisfy/adjust your new acquired aged superstar would be too.. They could (I would like to) move KD+Nurkic to the Knicks for Randle+Robinson+Bojan+ 3 FRP.... The Suns keep Randle/Robinson and could use the expiration of Bojan+Little+Rody and the FRP to fill out the team with guys like Caruso/Bridges etc.
Bojan+ FRP for Bridges
Rody+Little+FRP for Caruso

Beal/Caruso
Booker/G.Allen
Bridges/Royce
Randle
Robinson
1+1=11

I am going to suggest after your lengthy timeout you re-consider how you participate here. This is absolutely not going to be tolerated. Your inability to handle trade suggestions with any maturity at all reflects poorly only on you.

Charlotte could probably get Ingram for Bridges straight up sign n trade.

Before you laugh you have to factor health. Bridges is a at the top of the league in minutes played per game. Ingram is gonna miss at least 20 games a season

and yet Charlotte are the ones paying for Booker?

If Phoenix did weirdly want that package, why wouldn't Charlotte take Booker for themselves???

Putting I̶n̶g̶r̶a̶m̶ Booker with Ball and Miller and potential top 5 pick would be a major coupe

I'd offer the top 5 pick this year as well if it thought Phoenix would consider it. (But they wouldn't)

Ingram doesn't excite me for Charlotte at all.

And if I am Hornets, I am not giving away Bridges for 1 FRP and seconds.
Issues and all, he is very good.

Durant at 35 is no longer pulling 3 FROs unless they are late picks. He is now 6 years away from GSW and has been teamed with Irving, Booker, and either failed to make the playoffs or struggled to past the play-in round.
I am not paying that price for a player that is mailing it in.
I would trade for the players, but not giving those picks.
Once the Suns realize they have nothing but Booker and an aged overpriced team, they will make those trades as Booker will be asking out.

I originally was headed in that direction with the add on being Booker for Zion/Daniels.

Suns team would be better suited allowing neither Beal or Booker to be the PG.
However it would be a prop to Charlotte to bring home Ingram.

It was a joke. I was gonna use the green font but I assumed that it was plainly obvious that my wildly over the top response would make it known.

I do not think that a trade suggestion on RealGM deserves prison time or is equal to someone commenting murder.

Figured everyone reading that would understand. It's called:

"tongue-in-cheek" or satire.

That's good. Unfortunately you have a track record of negative and aggressive posts across this site, so when you don't make it clear you are joking(and not a great joke fwiw) you aren't going to get the benefit of the doubt and we had multiple posters concerned about the tone of your post.

But we'll leave it at this since you had no ill-intentions. But let's stick to posting actual content in the future please.
