I'll throw out a crappy trade for a team that hasn't been mentioned since i love farting around with the trade machine.


The Charlotte Hornets bring BI back to his home state, and absorb half his salary since they have cap space.

Pelicans get Grant Williams, Nick Richards, #6 and '27 1st (Dal or Miami) , '28 protected 1st from Charlotte.

Pelicans send Larry to Nets for a S&T for Claxton



Draft Stephon Castle at #6. I think he has the most upside to become a star, and his floor is super high b/c of his defense and facilitation on offense.




This trade goes against everythign i've said recently about going after a star, but i'd consider it a decent consolation prize.
If, and this is why i hate this trade b/c it's based on hope, but if Castle is a legit PG with great defense, then we have all the assets we need to move CJ and even Herb to go get the perimeter star we need.
The Suns are going to run it back b/c they have no other choices since they have no draft picks. If they aren't a 50+ win team with ease, then they are going to make some massive changes at the deadline. No one is going to give them anything for Bradley Beal and his 15% trade kicker and a guy who can't stay on the court and his numbers have declined the last 5 years. So which one you want to give up, KD or Booker?
We could send them CJ and some firsts for KD, and then work with another team to take some salary to make it work and get PHX under the 2nd tax apron.



Speaking of the tax apron, the Clippers have to get under the 2nd apron next year or they will fall into the 3 out of 5 years clause which means the next time they actually have a 1st round pick in the draft, it automatically becomes the last pick, and they also can't trade their 1st 7 years out.
The Harden/PG/Kawhi stint hasn't worked out. Either Harden or PG aren't resigning with them this offseason. It's impossible for them to stay under the 2nd apron if all 3 come back at $50M+/yr. Even if they keep one of PG or Harden at $50M, they are still $20M from the 2nd apron and only have 11 players on the roster, so whichever one they sent out in a S&T they could only take back $20M so that team needs $30M in cap space or has to dumb salary to a 3rd team. They have no firsts to trade.
There's a good chance one of them gets simply let go to sign as an UFA. I think they'll get more return for PG in a S&T, as i don't know who would want Harden at $50M/yr for 2 or 3 more years at age 35.
We could send them BI/Naji and take back PG, while also sending Tucker to the Nets for them so we can S&T Claxton. We'd then need to move CJ to clear some salary space. Could send him to the Magic for Suggs since Bunchie loves Suggs so much.

Suggs/Herb/PG/Zion/Claxton with Trey in the closing lineup instead of Claxton. I'd like that. Good luck scoring on that team.
