Third Time's the Charm
Kendrick Nunn wasn't supposed to play for New Orleans this past season. Heading into the previous season's draft, it was already known league-wide that Kendrick Nunn, the 9th Pick of the 2025 CSL Draft, would be playing for Miami. That deal would end up breaking down over some minor misunderstandings. No matter, the NOLA front office informed Nunn to stay on his toes, and to expect to be moved again 30 days into the season.
Due to that, Nunn missed the first 20~ish games of the season, in preparation for another deal, this time again with the Miami Heat. For similar reasons, that trade ended up breaking down as well. Following these two unexpected roadblocks, the NOLA front office decided to give Kendrick Nunn a chance, and allow him the opportunity to suit up for the New Orleans Pelicans. His first CSL career game was on November 20th, 2025, in a 122-107 win against the Denver Nuggets. And although he wasn't perfect, he was vital in the win that night.
Kendrick Nunn would eventually find himself as a consistent player in the New Orleans Pelicans's rotation, coming off the bench to provide an offensive spark plug, and starting when needed. The scouting reports were dead on. Kendrick Nunn's ability to shoot at all 3 levels and create, for both himself and teammates, enabled his success. Couple that with a larger frame and quick hands, Kendrick Nunn's found his path to success: Strong 6th Man Combo Guard/Weak Starting Combo Guard
55 Games Played | 8 Games Started
12.6 PPG | 2.7 RPG | 3.5 APG | 0.8 SPG | 0.2 BPG | 1.9 TO
4.7-10.6 FG 44.3% | 1.9-4.8 3FG 39.9% | 1.3-1.5 FT 84.5%
Using the success of Kendrick Nunn's rookie season, the NOLA front office leveraged his performance to land a trade involving a ______ Conference team. Barring any offseason complications, this should be a trade that benefits both teams. In Kendrick Nunn's short 1 CSL season career, he's been in two failed trades, supposedly a CSL-first. There's hope that this third trade will work out though, and Kendrick Nunn can continue his career elsewhere. The New Orleans Pelicans thank Kendrick Nunn for his services, and hope his career continues along the track of most success.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
And I thought he finally was set in the Pelicans rotation
Lets see where he ends up.
My expectations were that he would be a very good 6th man kind of guard. But seeing him play for you last season, he may be even able to be a starter on a good team.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
Tried to grab him early on but wasn't meant to be. Interested to see where he goes. Not a reliable PG but can be a solid option off the ball. Envisioned him as a 6th man playing starter minutes with a few at PG but mostly SG.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
With Ingles verballed I'm assuming he's going to the Blazers since he fits Tim's rebuilding timeline.

Good detective work. Imagine Crabbe/Zubac would be involved to make salaries work.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
you need value to win it would be a mistake trading nunn for ingles. Hope NOP can get more than that

Re: Third Time's the Charm
I mean Nunn is almost maxed out potential wise. Inglis is like a lite Klay Thompson in DDS3, but better defense. You combine Inglis, Lauri and a guard who can assist/score and they are on the right track.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
I never said it was a good deal. Just that those were likely the players involved if it is in fact a deal between those two teams.
I also don't think NOP has the same value of Nunn as you do.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
I had Stanley, Rozier nd traded for Klay. I went 20-2 and only lost because Stanley got injured right before the post season.
Obviously I made other moves after, but even the first Hornets GM(who everyone thought cheated) thought my team was legit.
I only remember this because it was right after my back surgery.
It ultimately depends if he has other moves lined up.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
If that’s the deal, Nunn as a solid 6th man option with clear limitations and maxed already isn’t pushing the Pelicans to a contender spot anytime soon. Players like him are good but replaceable.
Players like Ingles are hard to find, even at 32. He can be a difference maker for a really good team.
If it doesn’t work out, rebuild after some years. At least it’s a step towards trying to achieve something great instead of keeping a player that leads you nowhere for 7, 8 seasons.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
I have no idea what rumors are true or not, but I don't think getting Ingles for Nunn as the core of the trade (obviously other pieces would have to be involved to make it work financially) is bad. I doubt their moves would stop there. Regardless, even if it doesn't work out for them next year, they can always trade Ingles at the deadline. There will be contenders lined up to get him, I'm sure of it.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
You piled up multiple quality picks/quality future picks over multiple years of rebuilding, and used them to bring in superstars like bledsoe. That's the way to do it. You need multiple young assets/picks before making your win now moves.Andrewu91 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 2:16 amI had Stanley, Rozier nd traded for Klay.

I also dont think it would be easy to flip ingles to a contender with that big salary.

Re: Third Time's the Charm
The salary may make it tricky for some teams, sure. But I said that because he's someone I would consider going after (and I have the salaries to send back). I don't usually get too far into trade discussions while I'm still alive in the playoffs or I probably would've reached out to Tim before he got verballed. Mainly because I like to do an autopsy on my season first to see where things went wrong and how to try to address it going forward.
