CHA - NOP

[bpcox05]

CHA Gets: Solomon Hill, Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca, 2018 NOP 1st (top 3 protected), option to swap with 2019 NOP 1st, 2020 NOP 1st (top 3 protected), option to swap with 2021 1st, & 2022 NOP 1st (top 3 protected)
CHA Gives: Nic Batum & Kemba Walker
Why for CHA? They hit the reset button and get a few first round picks (and swaps) for Walker while shortening Batum's deal via Hill, Asik, & Ajinca (if he opts into his contract that is). At 26, Hill still could potentially live up to his contract and become a positive asset.

PG - Carter-Williams / Stone
SG - Lamb / Monk / Graham
SF - Kidd-Gilchrist / Hill / Bacon
PF - Williams / Kaminsky / O'Bryant
C - Howard / Zeller / Asik / Ajinca

NOP Gets: Nic Batum & Kemba Walker
NOP Gives: Solomon Hill, Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca, 2018 NOP 1st (top 3 protected), option to swap with 2019 NOP 1st, 2020 NOP 1st (top 3 protected), option to swap with 2021 1st, & 2022 NOP 1st (top 3 protected)
Why for NOP? The Pelicans go all in with their Davis/Cousins core and add another star player along with taking a chance on a big contract who hopefully returns to being the glue guy he was in Portland.

PG - Walker / Rondo / Nelson / Jackson
SG - Holiday / Moore / Clark
SF - Batum / Miller / Allen
PF - Davis / Cunningham / Diallo
C - Cousins

I can't imagine Charlotte would go for this. This isn't close to the value for Kemba.

If I were Charlotte I would need to add in the NOLA 2022 1st rounder and make all of picks unprotected and add in pick swaps (if Charlotte wants to) for 2019 & 2021

Updated the original post to have NOP send more out.

Jeez. I don't think New Orleans gets Kemba without giving up Boogie, and I doubt they're willing to mortgage their future for Kemba and Batum. A Kemba-Jrue-Batum-AD-Cousins lineup is nice, but Cousins could walk this off season, Kemba could in two years, and AD, Holiday, and Batum have had health issues over the past few years and yeah. It could go south pretty quick.

Dems a lot of 1sts to give up. Kemba and Batum are solid doe
