re: Pels want to move to top of draft, BI to be “aggressively” shopped per Stein

I think he has a point if it was Ingram for just a lottery pick. But there's no scenario where you trade Ingram for only a lottery pick unless you are rebuilding. While yes we were a play-in team, I dont think we are THAT far away to where we need to blow it up but I'm also not delusional to think we are only a player or two to get us over the hump

Nearly every trade scenario I have seen with us getting a top 5 pick, also has us ending up with a really good player too. I still dont think we go that route. I just think they're open to getting the best possible return for Ingram, whether that's inlcuding Nance and Dyson in order to get solutions at PG AND Center or just giving up Ingram and picks for a solution at one. I've seen trades where we include all of that in order to get Murray+Okongwu and I'd be down for that but idk if Griff is spicy enough to make a huge trade like that.

My guess is that we trade Ingram and some change for Allen and we keep CJ at PG for another year and make trade him + Dyson + Nance + a boatload of picks for a PG the following season.
