NOP swings for the fences. Gives up FRP in 2025 & 2026 in exchange for SRP in 2025 & 2026 (fine for NOP as those FRP shouldn't be high/lottery and they also stacked roster, don't need big FRP salaries next few years with impending big spend on TMurphIII).

NOP: Gets deep3 ball volume threat ASimons to really open up the floor as well as critical secondary ballhandler/playmaker ... ... great addition. Ayton (shot 50% from 16ft+ underrated floor-spacing big ... can pitentially move out beyond arc) critical to take defensive/rebounding pressure off Zion so he can really go to work on offense. RWilliams experienced/vetted backup (willing to part with semi-project Missi).

PTL: Wanted the extra FRP to take CJ money. Gets Ingram who they can seriously consider extending with no more big contracts besides CJ's dead weight returning (though CJ will be valuable mentor for the struggling Scoot), and PTL will seriously look to move JGrant. Missi solid young center prospect added to Clingan/Reath. Ingram/CJ will get plenty of immediate run with SSharpe injury out first month, and Ingram's only 25yrs old for rebuild purposes.

*(IMO the longer PTL backs Scoot heavily if he struggles again this year, the bigger the mistake for future prospects ... he doesn't really seem to get it beyond elite floor strength andcsome bounce. Possibly move him for Trae if Atlanta flops this year, send him home to ATL for their full rebuild).
