Rockets/Pelicans interested in Bazemore???

[D21]

Keep Bazemore at least for a few months, so Trae has some reliable backcourt support, someone who can give him some cover and relieve some of what will be hounding defensive pressure if SL is any indication.

If we want a 1st rnd pick for Bazemore, we must trade him now.
It's pretty simple : teams want traded player before training camp, more than having to integrate him in the middle of the season and get a lower impact, so they will pay more now than in February

It's not a clear cut thing, getting more picks is also an important priority. But I just value development of young players Hawks already have, over getting a potential FRP in the 25-29 range in a weak draft. I also view Baze as the most important vet on the team.
