They really asked for sengun? What is the A to B on asking for sengun and then contacting us? Do they really think we’d offer Maxey?😂😂😂
Or where they perhaps interested in g league mvp basketball Paul?
Sengun doesn’t even really make sense for NOP…Zion and Sengun sharing the floor?
I think Sengun could be moved though, rumors of Ime wanting a more defense-oriented Center
I think Sengun is in a wildly different tier of player than Ingram, particularly when you consider Sengun will make $5m next year then be a RFA while BI will make $36m next year then will be an unrestricted FA.
I’m a Bi fan, and think he’d fit great on either team but asking for sengun is pushing it a bit for BI, he’s a rising star center that’s on a cost controlled contract, why would Houston ever do that? Now maybe jalen green would be a good trade
And with the 76ers it makes sense to just check in and see what they feel, especially because it would be a trade it would most likely have to involve a third team so would be more complicated
Giving up anything of value for BI feels like a mistake. Think I’d do pick 16 and just see how he fits in, but he’s at the bottom of the list of targets for me. I guess the 1 benefit would be an extra ~15 million in space vs someone like PG which could be enough to target another role player via FA/trade
Sengun is better than Ingram 😂
