Good afternoon, folks.

A blustery but not as snow winter day in SW Ontario.

Did any/many of you see the ESP trade suggestion...if so, could you share your opinion ? I like it, but it's not perfect. It is a three team trade.

New Orleans gives up Looney, Jordan Hawkins and Trigger Trey, plus two second round picks in the early 2030's. We get back Moses Moody, Jonathin Kuminga and three first round picks...at least one of which is protected five through 20.


Thoughts ?

Have a great day !

I know this is inconsequential to the conversation, but why would we throw in second round picks on top of Trey lol?

Looney is an expiring contract and vet big. That’s is excessive

WE have a problem with a lack of 3 point shooting, so we are gong to trade our best 3 point shooter for a non 3 point shooter?

I don't want Kuminga if he was free.

If you make it Batman (I mean Phatman) instead of 3M3 and Podziemski instead of Moody and I'm all in.

Kuminga
Moody
2026 #15-25 realistically
2028 (potential protections)
2030 (Potential protections)

That’s a Hell No.

I think any TM3 trades are pipe dreams. He works perfectly with Queen, and that tandem is only gonna get better. The last thing we need is less shooting as well. Plus he’s on an absolutely absurd contract.

I might be one of the few but I don’t really want Kuminga at all in any trade.

Actually, you are one of the many not only among Pels fans, but NBA too.

Regarding the trade proposal - It's clear that is one of those where the goal is to mess up with player's mind, to see if he is willing to put pressure on the team to trade him (because it's GSW, LAL, etc.)
If Orlando gives 4 UNPROTECTED picks for Bane, who earns 13mil more than Trey, there is no way we trade him for what could be only 1 first round pick. If you remove the protections you might consider it, otherwise HELL NO.
If they want Zion and Hawk for Moody & Kuminga for their '26 and '28 picks its different story. Or Herb for Moody and those 3 picks.
Trey has his best season (close to 50/40/90, highest reb and ast) and is looking more and more as the perfect player next to Queen and Fears and his contract fits their timeline. Not to mention that we need to start adding proper shooting, not trading our only consistent volume shooter.
