Proposed Jaylen Brown Trade Ideas

[celticinorlando]

More smoke with JB to the Pels...

JB to NO

Murphy, Murray and draft picks to Boston.

"IF the Pelicans aggressively pursue Jaylen Brown, the blueprint for their blockbuster trade offer would center directly around the following, per
@ScoopB
 

- Dejounte Murray
- Trey Murphy III
- Significant draft capital"

That doesn't seem like enough.

How did Dejounte Murray look after his return from injury?

A D Murray, D White, Pritchard backcourt would be interesting. A two forward combo of Trey Murphy and Jayson Tatum would be good. Maybe try to get Herbert Jones as well since NOP is not giving up a top player for Jaylen. Then you have a 3 man forward rotation there too. Queta at center. FA backup center.

G: Dejounte Murray, Pritchard
G: D White, Baylor
F: Trey Murphy, (Herb Jones), J Walsh
F: Tatum, Hugo
C: Queta, (FA)

Update: Here are some highlights (3min) from Dejounte Murray last season. It looks like he is still moving well from those clips. Some acrobatic drives / finishes. Some quick feet on defense for steals.

Edit: Didn't D White and D Murray play together in San Antonio? It was a bit dysfunctional back them if I remember right but that was because neither could shoot the 3. D White can now. Should be fine now. Two big guards. Murray more of a tall thin guard than big. Quick though and can cover smaller quicker guards better than D White or Pritchard or at least he could before the injury.

Speaking of Zion, apparently Jake Fischer said today that the Pelicans are interested in Jaylen Brown. Interesting with the rumor that we are interested in Trey Murphy III. I doubt any of this is really of any substance, but still fun to talk about.

I wonder if the offer could be Zion + Trey Murphy given how bad Zion's injury issues have been.

Zion and Murphy for Jaylen and Hauser would be intriguing, I'm not gonna lie. People would lose their minds, but the potential would be wild

I?d be fine with that trade. Then bring KP back. Load manage until the playoffs.

I'm not keen on relying on Zion and KP to both be healthy to have a shot at a good season and a title

They just need them healthy for the playoffs. I think KP is the bigger risk at this point, but they need his size and floor spacing to combat Wemby.

and you expect them to be healthy after an 82 game season for which neither has accomplished in years OR are you planning on wrapping them in bubblewrap for the season just to break them out for the playoffs under the assumption they managed not to injure themselves in practice, walking down the street or just plain old breathing?

If they sign Rob too the chances one the three are able to play in the playoffs jumps to about 25%.

I am not sure floor spacing centers make that much of a difference against Wemby. Spurs just switch him off the floor spacing C and have him defend the corner shooter.

OKC tried the same thing with Chet. SAS switched Wemby onto whoever was in the corner. Usually Dort or someone like that. Let Wemby help off the corners. He was still hugely disruptive defensively from that position.

agreed.  only way to make SAS pay for that is to have a great passer in the corner that can hit a big man running to the hoop for some easy/unchallenged buckets.  force Wemby to play the center and take him as far away from the hoop as possible.  truly a 5-out offense.  Joe's just dying to do it.

I mean, No one plays in 82 games. So..

Tatum at center against Wemby?

Tatum would probably one of the better defenders against Wemby. He could stifle Wemby's face up game / driving game. He can check him on the perimeter. And Wemby doesn't post up much.

Like Team USA when they put Kevin Durant at center against France / Gobert and forced Gobert to defend either Durant or Tatum out on the perimeter. Do the same to Wemby.

I think Tatum is our best defender against Wemby. I think he'd do better than Queta who is likely to struggle against Wemby's perimeter game. Horford would have been ideal against Wemby. Such a versatile defender Horford.
