The Pelicans have expressed trade interest in Wendell Carter Jr., per @MikeAScotto (https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-rumors-lebron-james-paul-george-klay-thompson-brandon-ingram-isaiah-hartenstein-more/).

If the Magic pursue Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency, many rival executives expect Carter to become available.

So, let's say they announce Klay S&T to Dallas.  Is it just announced as a salary number, or does it include outgoing players.    

If Green isn't going to GSW, do they announce a different Green trade immediately?  Or, do they wait?  

Once you have Thompson's salary number and know what is happening with Green, it is pretty easy to figure out DJJ's number.  It if isn't the full NT MLE, does that feel too much like a concluded negotiation?

Is anyone else outgoing (GSW has a TPE large enough to take in Hardy).  Is that the compensation and Green is a straight deal for draft compensation?

Still I’d happily get younger at that position. Wendell Carter, Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Smith are all intrigueing names here Imo.

Mavs were also reportedly interested in Stewart at the TDL. Maybe there’s a way to
plug that into the Hardaway trade?

Kyrie | Hardy | Exum
Klay | Grimes | ???
Luka | DJJ | Omax
PJ | Stewart | ???
DLive | Gafford | DP

That way you’d once again increase the number of young dependable players in your rotation. As of now the swaps of Hardaway/Klay and Green/Grimes are mostly „age neutral“, so another guy in his early 20s who can play a big role would be a good fit.

I’m told the Lakers and Trail Blazers have been in consistent talks on a deal for Jerami Grant. I wouldn’t call it particularly imminent but the sides have definitely been active most of today.

(06-30-2024, 03:41 PM)SleepingHero Wrote: Dan made a great point about DJJ's new representation wanting to delay any potential announcement just because they want to 100% make the commission on the new deal and the old agency can't protest it. Because if DJJ signs July 1st, the old agency can say "well we were the ones who negotiated this deal, and the new guys can't talk to you till July 11th, so why should they get the commission when we created the deal?'


Could really be that simple.
