I can’t see a trade where the Nets would be willing to part with Claxton for a significantly older Ingram

Would love that

The issue is BI’s next contract. If you can limit his salary to $40 million per season – he is eligible for $50 million per season then I’d take him at $40m especially if we can send back Cam Johnson’s $20m per season salary as part of the trade.

I think he can be better than what he’s shown in NO
However the problem is, to be his best he needs to be a second or third option like Paul George, because he’s not gonna be good at handling the pressure of a number 1 guy, like Paul George. that’s a problem because that’s also the same case with Mikal bridges. He’s also supposed to be a third option. The nets need someone desperately who can be a first option.

He’d play what, 30 games? Idk. He’s a fine player, but any significant package for him would be a mistake imo. Dude is rarely available

He’s a #2-3 option trying to be paid like a #1

Why do we want to get rid of clax?

Simmons, Dariq and 2 first rounders for Ingram

BI doesn’t move me the way Mitchell does, but anything is better than what we have.
Virnu
Idk if he’s worth the investment.

If we got Ingram and still played Mikal as the 3 I’d shoot myself lmao. But like the player.
Marcy_OW
Please no he doesn’t do anything for us, we already have clowney to play the 4

Makes little sense for us

Pels fan that lurks. I think BI could give you guys a certain amount of creation for himself and others that you guys lack, and if he actually starts shooting 3’s again, he’d be a really nice player in general that I‘d hate to see off my team. He was coming off injury against OKC this year; his peak really is closer to who he was against the Suns two years ago, or the play-in last year where he dropped 30 on the same OKC team.
With that said, his ceiling to me is a 2nd option, which to me is Mikal’s ceiling also. A team with those two as the top players is likely a 1st round exit at best, especially if coaching doesn’t get figured out down here. And yes BI does get frequently injured throughout his career which can be frustrating as a fan.

Can we get him and Hertenstein?

We couldn’t make it work with KD. I don’t really want to experiment with KD extra lite.

This is such a cherry picked quote. The Pelicans reporter was listing off teams and at the end goes “maybe the Nets” and this is the rebuttal from Scotto. In context, it seemed more like a no than what is presented
