Where does JALEN GREEN get rerouted?

[SkyHook]

What do you think about a Markkanen package? Is #10 or #29 closer for sweetener?

Neither will get a deal done with Utah, nor would both combined.

[QMemphis]

Send Jalen Green and #10 to Nets for Cam Johnson and Nic Claxton.

[Reardonwd]

Why would the Nets do this?

They aren't even consolidating #26 and #27.

If you want to do this deal, for simplicity sake.

Jalen Green for Nic Claxton + #26

Could Brooklyn do a complete zig zag and trade the #8 for Jalen?

eg

#8 and Cam Thomas
Jalen Green and #29



Phoenix ducks out of the second apron
Brooklyn gets a young borderline all star player



This obviously only works if Brooklyn thinks there isn’t a star @ #8. Green + Claxton is a decent foundation, and they’ll add another top 10 pick next year.

Jalen Green isn't worth anything close to #8. Is he even more than salary filler?

I think he’s definitely not worth close to that, no. I could see him fetching a mid-1st if the acquiring team has bas salary to send out, nothing much otherwise. Hes definitely not like, a good deal at 3/110. Maybe a team like Detroit could try to lighten the load for Cade and trade for him?

Memphis

Clarke
Cole
Konchar
#16

Cannot see it happening like this since this would prevent us from the JJJ redo unless we are letting Aldama walk. Likely have to dump Konchar and/or one of Clarke or Cole first into cap space, redo JJJ, resign Aldama and then we should still have enough contracts to then flip for Green. Likely will need KCP in it, but there are scenarios where can keep him if JJJ takes a little smaller raise.

I feel like this would’ve already been a 3 team trade if this were the case.

This.
