Houston/Portland/Brooklyn Hypothetical Trade Construct (If Charlotte passes on Scoot)

KJM and perhaps Christopher as well. Josh gets a new start. KPJ comes off the bench.

 

True.

 

If the Nets are willing to do this I'd throw anyone other than Jabari, Sengun, Jalen and Tari to Portland to sweeten it even further. I just don't see the Nets doing it though. They just successfully pulled off a rebuild without any picks. Tanking is a small market team's game. The big markets just tread water until a superstar free agent signs with them because they like the city. They'd gladly be the scrappy underdog team full of high quality role players waiting for a free agent star to choose them. And Bridges is probably the highest quality role player in the league and would be a perfect partner for any free agent star. Also the 2024 draft is balls, even the number 1 pick isn't a highly likely allstar. It's similar to 2013.

 

Would you offer Sengun and 4 for Henderson at 2? We could retain the 20th pick for Lively's defense. I like Sengun. I'm willing to give him up for Henderson and the 4th pick.

 

of course, but it's not enough to move up to 2

 

In that scenario I rather be the team that Brdigrs since we’re giving up the most assets

 

Maybe I was the only BBS'er who remembers an opposing player (now I don't remember the player or team) that said Sengun was the one Rocket for whom they had to game-plan.

I guess I'll have to go look at highlight reels of Scoot again. If I j*zz, I'll change my mind. If I only half-chubb, no. Just no.

 

No from me.
Firstly, there is not enough difference between Scoot and Amen to be worth us giving up so much.

Secondly, I would be rather upset if we helped another team obtain Bridges. If Brooklyn are happy with such a package for Bridges then we need to be the ones obtaining him. Then max out Reaves in free agency to play point.

 

I think if there is any player being traded, it's Sengun. Think about it. If the Rockets get Scoot, there is no need for Sengun in the starting lineup. With KPJ, he is a playmaker and he is good at catch and shooting, plus it will free up Green, be ause it spreads the court.

More so if they drafted Amen. You don't need more playmakers in the starting unit, you will need floor spacers. And both Amen and Scoot are playmakers at this point.

If they could have gotten Brandon Miller, I could see the need for Sengun but IF they hold on to the.pick and go with Scoot or Amen, I just do not see where Sengun fits.

 

Give em KJM and the 20th pick as well.
