TLDR; don’t see NOP trading Adams since they need him and he has no trade value.. But understand him and Zion haven’t played amazing together. that doesn’t mean I’d throw Hayes and an MLE or rookie in there full time so I would be keeping Adams unless I’m trading for a center
This feels bad for NOP, but Dallas’ insulting offer? As Ingram shouldn’t be traded.. KP, Brunson, 2027 first for Ingram, Adams, Bledsoe? Maybe less insulting if there was any max free agents this offseason to chase for NOP. Maybe if some superstar becomes available then this becomes possible? Brunson+Dallas first, NOP lottery pick, and a large stack of NOP’s owned firsts?
I would do Powell/Adams once we use our cap space (or immediately if we aren’t acting as a team under the cap)
Some three team deal with Minnesota like; Rubio to Chicago, Sato+Aminu to NOP, Adams and 2nds to Minnesota? Seems to help all three teams if we pretend NOP is looking to move Adams.
Maybe Ross+Bamba for Adams+11? Orlando gets another lottery pick and NOP gets a vet 3/d and a young center that can spread the floor?
If Holmes signs in Dallas/Char or wherever, Sac might be willing to take Adams for cheap/free? Or Bagley for Adams+11? If NOP feels they can develop Bagley into a stretch five next to Zion?
