Basically it does this,

Charlotte pretty much sheds a year off of Batum's contract for getting Deng while at the same time gets Lonzo and Danny Green. Say what you want about Lonzo but there was a reason he went #2 overall. He can play and he just needs time. Also if Lavar wants to get involve let Jordan G-check him. Hornets effectively starts over and trys to build again. 

 

Spurs get a young player in Ingram who seems to be improving (maybe not to superstar levels like we once though), and they get Batum who fits the Sprus system perfectly and would probably get the Boris Diaw treatment.

 

Lakers not only get Kawhi but now gets Walker as well. This will more than attract Lebron to LA which will then form a new super team and will still have Randle and Kuzma to booth (but realistically one of them probably will get traded).

No way the Spurs trade Kawhi for a horrible contract and Ingram. That is horrible value. They shouldn't take on salary for Kawhi. 

Would you take on salary for Kemba?

yeah - this only makes sense for the Lakers.. If you believe what our FO is saying and we are still trying to field a winning team - this doesn't make sense at all.

It looks like Phoenix is going all in and stop the tank. They just signed their veteran presence in Trevor Ariza for a 1 year deal.  They also desperately need a PG and are loaded at SG/SF. They have Booker (untouchable), Josh Jackson, TJ Warren and Mikal Bridges. Too many young players at the same position. 

Kemba + Marvin Williams + Julyan Stone

for

Dragan Bender(Or Marquise Criss) + Josh Jackson (Or Mikal Bridges) + Jared Dudley

We get a PF that hopefully turns into what we hoped Frank would have turned into. We would get a high potential SG or SF. We flip Marvin Williams into an expiring Jared Dudley. 

Suns would have Kemba, Booker, Jackson or Bridges, Ariza, Ayton as starters. They would still have Warren, Bender or Criss, Knight and Marvin off the bench. That would be a very solid club.

Hornets would be in tank mode but with several young high potential players to build around for the future: Monk, Josh Jackson or Mikal Bridges, Miles Bridges, Bender or Criss. 

Thoughts on values?

No to the Ball soap opera.  Pass.

[pantherphan96]

Spurs would need to get Ball as well at the very least

not totally out there...id rather give up mkg or frank than marvin...marvin can be a great vet off the bench

Only reason I wouldn't give up Frank is bc he is an expiring. I originally thought of MKG but they have so many wings, it didn't make sense to add another wing in the trade.
