Roster Compliance

New Orleans would have 13 standard contract players after the trade and would need to get to 14 to be in roster compliance.

LEBRON (Luck-adjusted player Estimate using a Box prior Regularized ON-off) impact data is provided by BBall Index . See how LEBRON is calculated, and explore the data.

Obviously the context of the situation would have to be Grizz committing to Ja and the Knicks willing to take on the huge risk in Zion if it means getting JJJ which I think would be the perfect Thibs lineup if Zion by some miracle decided he loved basketball more than Popeyes fried chicken sandwiches (they have no right being that good).
