So it appears if CJ is traded it will be to NO, NYK, or ATL
Who can give the best deal? Would any include a 1st rnd pick?
PELICANS
The Pelicans are of course not offering Zion. They also don't want trade Ingram as they want to see a Zion, Ingram, CJ trio. They also are not amenable to trading Herb Jones, who is their Nassir Little.
How bad they want CJ might push them to trading Jones.
They would be susceptive to moving anyone else on the roster the Blazers might desire. They are of course open to trading Hayes who has legal troubles. So, the pool is:
Herb Jones(Maybe but doubtful)
Jonas Valanciunas
Josh Hart
Nickeil Alexander Walker
Jaxon Hayes
Willie Hernangomez
Tomas Satoransky
Kira Lewis Jr
Garrett Temple
Zylan Cheatum
Trey Murphy III
KNICKS
The Knicks are likely have an open cupboard.
Julius Randle
Obi Topping
Evan Fournier
RJ Barrett
Cam Reddish
Kemba Walker
Immanuel Quickly (might be the player the Knicks don't want to include)
Mitchell Robinson
Nerlens Noel
Taj Gibson
Derrick Rose
HAWKS
It's unclear if the Hawks are willing to trade John Collins for CJ. They might also be resistant to trading away Hunter.
John Collins (Maybe)
DeAndre Hunter (Maybe)
Bogdan Bogdanovic
Kevin Huerter
Danilo Galinari
Onyeka Okongwu
Clint Capella
Wes Iwundu
Lou Williams
