The Pistons just did a strange thing by waiving Paul Reed and then signing a GLeague dude because they were below the minimum salary floor. It seems they should have kept Reed as his deal in non guaranteed.

I wonder if DA can resist the buy low.
Like what if they called and said Dejounte Murray for John Collins straight up?
I wouldnt do that.
Would DA do that?
I dont think so. He's got 3 more years left on his deal at 30+ million.

Murray and Zion if they went on sale would be tough for DA.
If it was Murray for Collins I think DA does that in a second. I think the most likely to move would be BI, CJ, Zion, Murray in that order. I doubt there would be any discount on Murray.

This dumps a lot of salary for the Pelicans, gives them flexibility, and probably requires a pick swap or some sort of draft compensation. But it also gets them Pelicans under the 1st Apron so they can move their best pieces. There aren't a lot of teams that can absorb a salary like Murrays. He is a player I have liked for a long time.
BUUUUUT... I don't want to jeopardize the tank.

This the kind of buy low Im talking about. But I doubt the Pelicans would ever consider this.

You just gave both Magic fans heart attacks
Took the image from a Magic fan page asking for Sexton idk.
Saw an interesting discussion about Randle for Collins.
Utah could get back their 2025 2nd rounder. They could ask for swap rights in 2028. They could add Patty Mills in the deal and ask for TSJ/Minott.
It would get the Wolves below the 2nd tax apron, which would be their main incentive.

TSJ would be an interesting value play for the Jazz. Hasnt gotten a real chance with the Wolves and would add a big time athlete.

The only available Pelican that could be a game changer for us would be Zion. If he really is available for a pick, Collins and Svi work as salary going out. Sit him for the rest of the year and the team will be even worse with Collins gone. If Zion does not get his **** together, we can cut him. If he gets healthy, we can go into next season with Lauri, Zion, Kessler and a top dract pick from this year`s class. Since nobody wants to come to Utah, we have to gamble and I don`t see what we really have to lose.
