Brandon Ingram to MEM with SAC

[Syko_boB]

Sacramento
Kevin Huerter & 27 (top 7 pro) 1st
For
Marcus Smart

The Kings turn up the intensity to make a strong push for the Playoffs

Fox / Smart / DeRozan / Murray / Sabonis

Memphis
Marcus Smart, Luke Kennard & 25 1st
For
Brandon Ingram

The Grizzlies add another true bucket getter, get younger and bigger

Morant / Bane / Ingram / Jackson / Edey

New Orleans
Brandon Ingram
For
Kevin Huerter, Luke Kennard, 25 MEM 1st & 27 SAC (top 7 pro) 1st*

The Pelicans ship out BI for some value avoiding the chance of him leaving for nothing
*The Sac pick becomes 2 2nds if not conveyed

Murray / McCollum / Jones / Williamson / Missi

Problem is BI needs to get paid longterm and he is not worth multiple picks if he is a rental. Love his fit though with the Grizz but think it may be better to use him in a 3 team deal with Miami and Grizz.

Interesting framework. However, this trade puts SAC and MEM over the luxury tax. Let's send out Konchar to NOP, so MEM clears his future salary. Then SAC would need to send out one more minimum salary player (would have them just below the tax with the required 14 rostered players).

Also, I don't think Smart at this point is a 1st better than Huerter. And with those firsts and Stepian rule consideration, that would essentially use up their ability to make significant other trades for awhile. I do like the fit of Smart in SAC, tho. Clarke would fit nicely there, too.

Memphis has no interest in Ingram due to a long list of concerns related to fit, role, contract, personality

[BoogieTime]

We have enough playable guards with Carter coming back (monk/ellis/huerter ((not playable but..)))

[LightTheBeam]

Dont see kings interested in giving picks for another guard as boogie says. There's more
Fox, derozan, monk, Carter, keon. Even without huerter we have plenty. Need a big in the worst way.

[longfellow44]

No from the kings. It just doesn't make sense for us. We don't need another guard. I certainly have zero interest in giving up a pick for any player that isn't fitting a need for the kings.

[OGSactownballer]

No chance.
