Utah/NOP

[louc1970]

Looks like the board is picking up again on how to move Ingram.

NOP reduces payroll and gets a center capable of holding defensively until Missi improves. And gets a quasi center/PF for when Williamson gets hurt again.
Utah gets a scorer/play-maker to ride along with Markkanen. Long term deal worked out ahead of the trade.

NOP sends Ingram
Utah sends Kessler/Collins

Utah: George/Sexton/Ingram/Markkanen/Hendricks
NOP: Murray/Jones/Williamson/Collins/Kessler

No chance Collins would start in NO over a guy like Trey, and you have Zion as a SF? Kessler is bad fit with Zion, if NO is going to go with a tradition non shooting center he at least least to be able to plus passer that work a little be as a hub otherwise that offense cannot really function. If NO cannot get a center that fits via trade I think just seeing what they have in house is the better option than wasting assets on guys that just cannot work.

I think the Pels may have to settle for something like this, but I don't know that they're desperate enough to eat Collins deal before the season even begins.
