FVV money works too straight up! BUT let’s add more… Here we go KD & FVV plus 2 FRP For Trey Murphy & Zion Williams KD can chase his points as NOP resets and move on from the Zion era. (Sadly it didn’t work for them). KD can sell seats as he would work well within NOP team as the scorer he is. We get younger with the hope of talent having a positive response to new environment and coach. Just a collection of talent in need of direction and inspiration. Know, If Zion taps in we are on par with anyone in the league. Ime is known as a coach that pushes players to get better. This return is better than most anything we could get through the draft.
Zion has basically played a quarter of his games as a pro, and you want to give up picks? Straight-up insanity!
Perspective —> KD Give them what they want for Trey what value does FVV and his knee have other than filler. Ime (long term contract) would play Zion (when he is healthy). Ime will / has not play(ed) rookies (do you think he will change? Please, Realize with Ime here FRP have lesser value to our organization. because draft picks are rookies). Zion has never lived up to his hype but is not a total bust either. He lacks health, heart and motivation. Ime is the perfect candidate to work with him. (Let’s work to Ime strengths) —> I F Zion becomes a portion of what was expected of him we have our missing piece. yes FRPs will make it happen.
Sengun/Capela to MIl for Herro/Trent(Herro re-signed 160 4 year) . Mutual option after year 3. Sengun/Adams Smith/Eason Duran/Bogdan Herro/Reed Amen/Smart
I was wondering when the desperation for a star would circle back to Zion .... This roster is such a mess, Stone has botched this FA period with help from his buddy Ime. A washed SG and a non shooter .... that's all you got? Stone & Ime: that's all we needed, we're getting FVV and Adams back!
You are cold-blooded.... trade that man (Sengun) to MIL and still expect him to start for Rox... FOR SHAME! Did you mean FVV?
Oops, yea not sure they’re about the confusion, but I think I was meaning it to be Fred and probably a first round pick. Who knows….. may have been an edible influencing the GMing there.
I wonder if Tilman, Tilman Jr, Stone and Udoka pay attention here and see the level with which the fans are unimpressed. Their stock is super low right now. If anything, the needle has moved down since the end of the year and it was already negative. Fans just have no hope in this squad. They are too smart to think a run it back campaign has any chance of getting out of the first round.
Are we really done making offseason moves? I mean…. What a travesty if so. We’ll win plenty of regular season games, but we all know what to expect come playoff time. Feels like we’re the new Sacramento Just get whatever you can for KD… what’s the point in keeping him?
I agree. His value only goes down as the years go on and they aren't winning anything this next year, I don't care what they say. Keeping him makes 0 sense.
Zion For KD Everyone Wins. KD can run up his scoring totals to new heights. Zion gets a fresh start with Ime.
New idea: NOP - DET - HOU (I'm still not totally in favor of moving KD, but if the Slim Reaper wants out....) DET: KD (HOU) + Yves Missi (NOP) + 2027 SRP (via HOU) KD gets paired with Cade at the cost of 3 FRPs (probably in 25 - 30 range). Also pick up young backup center in Missi. NOP: Duncan Robinson (DET) + FVV (HOU) + Ronald Holland II (DET) + 2027 DET FRP (unprotected) + 2028 DET pick swap + DET 2029 FRP (top 5 protected) + 2027 PHX FRP top 5 protected (via HOU) New era in NO. Shed $30M in salary for 2027 off-season. Hand PG keys to Fears with FVV as a mentor. Robinson's shooting replaces Trey. HOU: Dejounte Murray (NOP) + Trey Murphy III (NOP) + Karlo Matkovic (NOP) + Paul Reed (DET) Murray is close with Ime. Murphy becomes go-to scorer + Murray can get his own shots + create for others. Matkovic is depth as a stretch 4. Paul is an uptempo 5 who has bounce & can block shots (also developing respectable 3 pointer). Murray - Smart Amen - Reed Trey - Bogi Bari - Tari - Matkovic Sengun - Adams - P. Reed Half Court/ Sengun & Shooters: Murray + Bogi + Trey + Bari / Matkovic + Sengun Alpe goes 1-on-1 or passes to open teammate for 3 if he gets doubled Uptempo / Run & Fun: Smart - Reed - Amen - Tari - P. Reed attacks passing lanes looking for fast break opportunities; susceptible to taller lineups
