Brandon Ingram to the Hawks and Cam Johnson to the Lakers 

Post#1 » by NYG » Thu Jan 16, 2025 9:39 pm

Hawks get:
Brandon Ingram
Daniel Theis

Hawks give: De'Andre Hunter, Larry Nance Jr., Cody Zeller and Top 12 Protected 2025 Kings 1st

Why: The Hawks add talent in the now to show Trae Young they're trying to improve without really sacrificing anything major to do so.

===

Nets get:
Larry Nance Jr.
Gabe Vincent
Jalen Hood-Schifino
2029 Top 4 Protected Los Angeles Lakers First Round Draft Pick (no pick conveyed if Top 4)

Nets give: Cam Johnson

Why: The Nets are rebuilding so they take the first rounder to contribute towards their rebuild.

===

Lakers get:
Cam Johnson

Lakers give: Jarred Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent, Jalen Hood-Schifino and Top 4 Protected 2029 1st

Why: Lakers shake things up by adding another scoring threat to their line-up with versatility.

===

Pelicans get:
De'Andre Hunter
Jarred Vanderbilt
Cody Zeller
2025 Top 12 Protected Sacramento Kings First Round Draft Pick

Pelicans give: Daniel Theis and Brandon Ingram

Why: Pelicans get a first for Ingram without having to take on bad long-term money or having to re-sign him (or lose him for nothing in free agency)

I don’t see Atlanta doing this. Hunter has been really good on the court, and not a problem off the court, coming in behind a rookie who is not currently as good as him. Ingram isn’t doing that. Maybe you start Ingram at the two, but think you want someone a bit better at defense next to Trae.

I used to really like Ingram to Atlanta deals, but think they mostly died when they drafted Zacc

Nets would be better off keeping Cam.

Hawks didn't want Ingram in the Murray deal and still no interest. Would rather Cam Johnson.

This trade does not help the Nets in anyway. They would politely pass. They have better offers on the table now and still hopefully keep CamJo.

Rumor has it 2 1sts and a promising player with an expiring. The details of deals will not be disclosed by either team until negotiations have ended. I hope BK just keeps him. He will be very very valuable when they make the next deal/signing.

Lakers would say yes, but I think It takes more then 1 FRP to get Cam? And I wouldn't mind Cam :)
