Re: Fake Trade Thread #7
I'm guessing Ja is the opposite of "Hornets DNA"

Why would that make any sense? Kuzma is a worse player and probably credited with being a lower BBIQ than Miles.
Kuzma EPM cumulative by adding both positive and negative games together for the year.
-10.4
Bridges EPM cumulative by adding both positive and negative games together.
+5.4
Kuzma shooting 26% from deep.
?s=20
?s=20
Both with 2 years left on their deal, what is this trade accomplishing?
cutting out the cancer

Charlotte out: Miles Bridges + Tidjane Salaun (or Tre Mann) + Liam McNeeley + 2026 1st (ORL) + 2027 1st (DAL) + 2027 1st (MIA) + 2028 1st (CHA-swap) + 2029 1st (CLE)
Charlotte in: Jaren Jackson Jr
LaMelo ~ Kon ~ Miller ~ JJJ ~ Kalk
Sexton ~ Sion ~ Green ~ Grant (IR) ~ Moose
1 ~ Is this actually enough to get Jaren Jackson Jr if Memphis blows it up?
Memphis could tank this year and next and have a loaded war chest in the 2027 draft. That Dallas pick seems like it should be super valuable and this is 4 total 1sts plus an additional 1st swap and there should be at least a little value in the players the Hornets are sending, so it seems like a pretty rich offer just in general, but I could see a team being really stingy with him because he is honestly really good.
2 ~ Would this actually be a good idea for the Hornets?
Maybe trading that 2027 1st from Dallas is just crazy. This would allow them to keep all their own 1st but would completely deplete their additional assets.
I do think JJJ is about as close to an ideal fit as you could reasonably imagine at PF for the Hornets. Hes a DPOY level defensive force who is great at rim protection and can switch all over the court. Hes a good 3pt shooter so he'll maintain their offense spacing (possibly improve it). He can also play C. His biggest weakness is rebounding, but this team is already really good at rebounding with a smaller PF who is worse at rebounding so I don't think that actually matters at all. His offensive game is a little bit more limited than youd like outside of shooting and finishing, but this team has a ton of shooting at the top of the roster and LaMelo is an elite creator, so this also might not be that big of a deal.
