[Clark] "The Pelicans made a push for Dejounte Murray before the trade deadline. They land him now. Lead guard with size who can take some of the creation load off of Zion. New Orleans liked his contract a lot. Owed $25 M, $27 M, $29 M next 3 years."

So what happens to Ingram now? Does he get sent to the cavs for Allen?

If that trade is possible NO could be a real contender.

He's a below average 3pt shooter when it comes to guards. Not bad, but not average either

He can shoot about league average on volume.  Hes not a good shooter but hes good enough defenses have to respect it so for spacing purposes he counts as a shooter.  I also think that being surrounded by a better team in new orleans will help his efficiency

35% from deep is the minimum. Though I would also say they need to be able to hit it from above the break or have at least 5 attempts a game
