Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Keep in mind that AD has another year on his deal so they can wait until the off season/next year

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Just trying to think off the top of my head, Portland and OKC are the only two teams I can think of. OKC would have a 3 headed monster but the Pelicans aren't taking a package where Adams might be the best return. Portland could make a trade based on CJ and Nurk, but I think the Pelicans run into issues with them not wanting to be there/not winning or having flexibility.

Yeah, I don't see it happening. Similar to what you said with OKC/Adams, I don't believe NO has an interest in a return where CJ is the prize. You're better off rebuilding.

And on schedule, I’ve already seen people throw the Knicks into the discussion. [emoji849]

People are weird, man.

And 75% of it is probably by non-Knick fans.

If Davis is gonna stay in LA then I'd do it. Obviously NBA is a superstar league, so if you have a chance to get a starting lineup containing 2 of the top guys in the league, who cares about depth?

Go into offseason with:
C-Davis
PF-LeBron
SF-Ingram
SG-Hart
PG-

And around 83M or so in salaries. You can add a good starting PG in free agency.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

I think the Pel's best bet is to wait until the offseason. They should have more options then, plus they will know where each teams draft picks are.



The Lakers offer is decent but I'd prefer a Top pick, a young player and filler from a team like Chicago or Phoenix instead. The gamble in that is if AD let's it be known that he will only re-sign in L.A. then the Pel's lose a lot of leverage so it's risky.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Curious to see how the rest of the league, or at least NO I guess, views the Lakers's young players. If I'm a Pelicans fan and I get all of them (Lonzo, Kuzma, Ingram, Zubac) I'm not excited about the deal.

If I'm a Lakers fan I'm not sure I would want them trading all 4 for just AD either though. Not sure any player in the league is really worth 4 starting level players especially if you're looking down the line. Different circumstance with them having LeBron, but without another top 5ish player like that I'm not sure AD has even proven he elevates a team to the equivalent of 4 players. He's a top 5 talent for sure, but how much does he raise your teams ceiling? Like I said, with another top 5 player there it's different, but if the Lakers hypothetically didn't have LeBron I don't think they would make that trade.

Yup and the usual talking heads as well.

And with any deal involving the Knicks, the first thing they mentioned is “He can play in the Garden!”

I thought the Lakers players were trash?

Trash nets you Anthony Davis now?

That’s what I think as well.

But then you have to wonder, is it worth deal with the noise until he gets traded and having to deal with all the fake nonsense that’ll come with it now that it’s “official” that AD wants out?

At the end of the day, they should trade him for whoever gives them the best package.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

I'll believe he's going to LAL when it actually happens. It's felt like a long shot ever since the "rumors" started. I still feel that the only way he goes there is if he tells them that's where he wants to go, and for all the stuff that has been rumored and supposedly "leaked" not one bit of information has come from him or has it been mentioned that he even likes Los Angles as a destination.

If he tells them he wants to go to the Lakers, and Rich Paul tells the Pelicans he will waive that trade kicker if they take the Lakers trade then and only then do I think that will be the team he lands on.

Wait so now Zubac is on his way to being an all star?

The expectations and the glossing up of players in this city is mind blowing.

I doubt anyone expects him to be an all star. But if he keeps getting 20&10 in every game that he gets starters minutes he’ll be a starting level player for a few years at least.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

New Orleans dealing Anthony Davis before the trade deadline is far from guaranteed. Pels are fully aware Boston harbors the greatest stock of assets and are hoping Celtics call to discuss frameworks of potential offseason trades with which NOLA can compare incoming rivals offers.

Only if they are willing to trade Tatum though. And if the rumor posted before about Davis not wanting to be in Boston is true the Celtics aren't risking Tatum with hope they can change Davis's mind.

The Kings draft pick ins't as bad as expected, Terry Rozier's contract ends and a year ago would have been a big trade piece now won't be available to trade this off-season unless it's a sign and trade situation. And he's played worse. Same with Morris who will also expire. Those were two pretty big trade chips. NO isn't going to take on Hayward's contract, or one year of Horford, and Brown has been benched and really hasn't outplayed any of the young pieces that the Lakers have.

A year ago, even this off-season, Boston had more trade chips than just about any team in the league. They didn't make any moves on available players then and nearly every asset they have has regressed in value.
