The Pelicans have expressed trade interest in Wendell Carter Jr., per @MikeAScotto (https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-rumors-l...tein-more/).
If the Magic pursue Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency, many rival executives expect Carter to become available.
Mavs were reportedly interested in Carter Jr at the trade deadline. I guess he’d be a potential Kleber-replacement. Unfortunately he has missed A LOT of games over the last years.
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.
