    Bridges is supposed to be the hottest RFA to hit the market this summer. He's cooled down considerably since his hot start. Prolly need more than Nurk to get him though.

    I wouldn't mind re-routing Turner to Detroit and ending up with Jerami Grant, but I have no clue what Indiana would be interested in from us (for Myles Turner or otherwise). I have to think it's a three-way if we're going after Turner.

    Not sure if Dallas would buy into this but seems like there are a lot of things that work in this trade.

    Dallas gets more balance and a move on from KP who has had issues with the way he is used.

    Philly gets 2 borderline All-Stars that will help tremendously with scoring and creating offense.

    Portland gets Simmons and can let him take his time coming back.

    Fischer said we can expect a return for Roco similar to what ATL got for Cam

    that’s surprising for a role player with no upside like reddish and on an expiring contract

    he’s also better than reddish and has bird rights. And since he only fits playoff type teams, most of whom are in the tax, that’s super valuable.

    because the market of teams for roco is different from those that want Reddish. In the past few weeks, he has mentioned Utah/Chicago/GS/MEM as teams that would be interested. I kept thinking NY was also on the list considering the Thibs connection, but guess not.

    Contending teams with picks to throw around would all be interested in him. in theory. Let's see how it manifests in real life.

    If NOP was a destination that Powell was already interested in last summer, I like this trade for us:

    NOP gets: Powell

    POR gets: Murphy III + 1st + trade exception

    Murphy was just the 17th pick last summer with 3 years left. While he hasn’t shown it thus far, he is already a good 3 point shooter. He’s basically a big guard, 6’8.5 and has the length and enough athleticism to be a good defender.

    If I’ve seen one thing that I’ve liked so far from Chauncey, it’s his ability to seemingly inspire the young guys. Let’s see what he can do with a guy who seemingly has all the tools to be a top 3-D wing. I think a 1st + the trade exception is enough compensation if you get Murphy (who you hope can become Covington++ one day anyway) that it offsets Covington deal picks. Covington gets another pick back at least.

    Trent for Murphy, a trade exception, and another 1st certainly isn’t a bad haul for a 2nd rounder lol.

    The only player I’m interested in on the Pelicans roster is Brandon Ingram.

    I'd be interested in Alexander-Walker and Hayes. That being said I don't know why fanspo is allowing unbalanced trades to the Pelicans. They don't have cap room and if they include a player then they can't use their huge exception.

    New orleans cant absorb that much salary. You need fillers like Satoransky

    fanspo seems like it's just allowing player contracts to be combined with TPEs. The Pelicans could definitely trade us just draft considerations for Norm but I would want the Lakers pick this year and future considerations.

    Herb Jones ought to be the target.

    Seriously? Pelicans have a couple young players that would be great for us. CJ is another version of Dame/Simons and Powell is just too undersized for us. CJ actually seems like he’s had more trade interest this year than any previous year outside of the Indy PG summer. There’s enough interest for both guys and we have to be proactive in a sellers market.

    Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones

    Both young guys could get the development here to fill a huge need. If they want Norm, I’m asking for Murphy, a 1st, and whatever filler is needed to make the trade work. If they want CJ, I’m attaching him with Zeller and even a 2nd if they wanted and I’m asking for Jones + Murphy + 1st + filler.

    Need got the hype with Ingram. He’s got a bit of CJ in his game. What does Ingram do significantly better than CJ besides getting to the line and rebounding? Ingram’s also 6’8, one could assume that helps. I’d rather bank on potential and get draft compensation than get the “CJ” of another position at around the same salary. Look to FA to fill needs, you’d be saving a little money.

    Windhorst pod today heavy on the Blazer talk. Said it's the perfect opportunity for team to bottom out for a year and become sellers. No other sellers on the market so can try to get a premium back for RoCo/Nurk/Nance if they want. Windhorst said "almost everybody" would want RoCo. "They can certainly get another first for him."

    Not necessarily looking for super young guys in return in trades, but trying to find guys who might fit better around Dame next year. Called it a "retrofitting." Reiterated interest in Myles Turner and how he is example of the guys team is looking for. Also mentioned what we've been saying about how Nurk might be better than Turner but his upcoming FA status makes him very movable.

    CJ's contract is a large $ number but only for two years, so there might be a market for him if the team wants to move him now.
