Jaylen/Smart are more valuable than 'Reke and Frazier. Add in that Evans is an expiring deal and it isn't close IMO.

I think the best option is likely reuniting the Lopez Bros in the United Center - Rondo (for salary reasons), Dougie McBuckets, Denzel Valentine, and/or Bobby Portis for Lopez

Demps is fighting for his job so he might have extra reason to make a deal for a potential half year rental to get the 8th seed but the Pelicans would have to give up Evans, Frazier, and Galloway to make the money work, plus a likely pick. Betting on AD, Brook, and Jrue to make it through the second half unscathed with a thin bench is tough and then you have to re-sign Brook and Jrue.

Ainge is going to see Evans and Frazier as the lead assets in the New Orleans rumor and take any top asset off of the table. On top of that, to make the money work, we'd have to throw in another body like Jerebko which I'm sure Ainge will see as reason to lesser the key assets going forward. Ainge would probably want Brook to pick up his option and still only offer Amir, Rozier, Jerebko and the C's 2018 first.

On a different front, might OKC look at dealing Kanter for Brook and maybe Bogdanovich? BK gets a younger big who is locked up for a couple of years. OKC replaces the injured Kanter with a vet and gets help at the SF spot.
