You cant trade Yak without getting a Center back.

Cam Johnson is almost 30. He's not much of an upgrade (if even) over Barrett to justify dropping down 10 spots in the draft and out of the lottery. Please stop this silliness.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pelicans moved Herb Jones + 7 for 3 + 35

Cam is definitely an upgrade over RJ. Plays way better defence for one. Still in his prime; he’s not some 37 year old. Guy is around the same age and BI and Jak.

Trading Barrett for Cam Johnson alone is a bad trade... To trade top 9 in a good draft + RJ for an older role player makes absolutely 0 sense and is a fireable offense.

Fred re -upped in Houston 2 yrs 50 mill.

Great deal for them both, Fred wants more rings and knows he can likley get another big contract after this one.

Cam over RJ doesn't move the needle for us in any way.

Replace the Cam rumours with Derrick white who actually moves the needle for this team.

RJ + 9 for White + 28

if tax is a worry, then #9 makes considerably more than #28 so they may not mind moving on from the guaranteed slot. maybe we also give them #39?

I'm assuming this is why you're thinking the Raptors may be interested in Derrick White? I agree, he'd move the needle forward for this team.

If anything, they'd want a future pick as well on top from Raps.

The difference between White and RJ , value wise, is pretty big.

Two deals

RJ, Ochai for Monk, Carter, JV

Other option

Sabonis, Monk, Carter for IQ, RJ, Ochai and two future firsts.



I don't understand why Sacramento would trade both Monk and Carter? What is their plan here. Makes no sense unless they're trying to tank for 2026 which I don't think Vivek wants

Fits the combo of moving him with Sengun for Giannis, although more likely they lose other youth contracts instead to bridge the asset gap, or as the salary ballast in the Amen scenario without giving up too much more youth in that better package.

I don't think they are in the convo for him without Amen anyway, so it'll be interesting to see when this ramps up this season.

I would prefer not to give up the 9th pick but I wouldn't be upset.

They're signed for the exact same amount of years. Unless you think we'll re-sign RJ in two years (or extend him), then the age difference is irrelevant.
