    There would absolutely HAVE to be a Grant deal immediately after if we were trading for MPJ

    Well thats what I thought when we acquired Brogdon but instead we benched Scoot & Sharpe the whole next year.

    If we had both Grant and MPJ would we bench Deni & Camara?

    If the Pelicans are shopping all their guys except Zion, how much would you be willing to give up for Trey Murphy? I would make a deal with the devil, as long as Deni, Tou, DC and Shaedon are off the table. I think he immediately pushes Sharpe as a starter and/or could be a perennial SMOY candidate. It would take a lot, but would be worth it IMO.

    Ant + 11? I would keep Scoot off the table.

    MPJ is not exactly popular in the Mile High city with all the health problems

    I think Carter Bryant will be better than MPJ for that reason. A better defender and just as good of a 3pt shooter. (and cheaper)

    Kind of a forgotten guy (at least from what little his name gets mentioned) I wonder what OKC would want for Nikola Topic. With their loaded roster and a lot of future frp's, would they be willing to move him? Do we have anything that might help with a need for them (do they have a need?)?

    Yeah, I'm sure Joe Dumars after having a sterling reputation in this league for 40 years is worried people will make that implication. That's just a weak take whether it was meant to be comical or not.

    I would love to get Topic, but he fills the need they have for backup PG as their offense stalls when SGA is out. Not saying he's untouchable, they would just need to have a decent replacement first.

    What is Dumars supposed to say?

    Zion sucks. We dont want him on our team. Fire sale.

    Dumars has no choice. There's little to no value in Zion so what are you gonna do?
