Pelicans rebuild

NO- DSJ, Knox, Trier, Mitchell, #3 pick
NY- AD

NO- Sabonis, Holiday
IND- Holiday

NY has to give up more since they can’t offer the one pick. Give up on all the young guys, get AD and go all in on all stars seemed like that was their plan even if the had the #1 pick

IND trades one holiday for another, Jrue is locked up for a while and should fit well next to oladipo. You could argue that Indiana needs to give up more like a first or something

NO has a ton of young guys with potential. This gives them a bunch of darts to throw at the board and they can roll with the ones that stick best.

That would be suicidal for Pelicans.


2.) 17 May 2019 21:36:08
The Holiday trade is light and you like have to throw another pick or two in to the Davis deal, if what seems to be going on is going on.

Agree with rkenne. As a Pacers fan since 1970 I would love to pair J. Holiday up with Vic in the back court but I just don't see it happening. with Davis being moved and the Pelicans having cap space coupled with the Draft of Z. Williamson they will need veteran direction on the court which means they will want more than he is worth I believe.

Portland - Washington

Blazers- harkless, Turner, this year lotto prot. First

Wizards- porter

Blazers take on porters big contract in hopes that he can be the final peice in the starting unit. After the Hood trade it looks like there will be another move to come to open up mins for him. And this seems to make Sense.

Wizards have one year less to pay in contracts and get a first for taking on worse players.

Nurkic
Aminu
Hood/ porter
McCollum
Lillard

This could work for all teams if pelicans think it’s enoigh. And it does work money wise.

Blazers - Pelicans - T’Wolves

Pelicans-
Give: AD, Jrue, K Williams
Get: Wiggins, Nurkic, Bates-Diop, simons, swanigan, 2 top five protected 1st rounders from Portland, and a second from Portland, and a lotto protected first from Minny

Portland-
Give: CJ, Nurk, Stauskas, simons, swanigan, 2 firsts, a second
Get: AD, Jrue, K Williams

Timberwolves-
Give: wiggins, bates-diop, lotto protected first
Get: CJ, Stauskas

Pels- I know that the Wiggins contract sucks. But he still has potential that you could develop if he was a number one guy while you tank. And you get a bunch of young assets and picks.

Por- tries to win now. Obviously no garuntee he would stay. But you get two years of prime Dame, AD, and Jrue who would fit better than CJ did. And two roster spots to sign a vet to fill out the roster.

Minny- gets off of Wiggins contract, and get a great perimeter scorer in CJ. And a good shooter in Stauskas.

I definitely think Portland should try for this. Make a home run type of move. They have assets that could make NO think at least. Maybe it ends up being Moore instead of Jrue (as NO could move Holiday for his own nice return), but it's a similar quality package to the Lakers best possible offer, if not a bit better.


2.) 30 Jan 2019 02:23:26
So not only does New Orleans trade away its best two players, it gets stuck with Wiggins and paying his awful contracts. That's like finding out that you have testicular cancer after your girlfriend kicks you in the nuts right after dumping you for a 21 year old male stripper.

Just wondering what Boston thinks about Hayward, and how bad do you want to get rid of him and his contract.

Por: Hayward
Bos: turner, Harkless, and a 2nd

That’s 27 mill off the book next year for Boston to go sign a new superstar that fits their new timeline with brown and Tatum. Portland takes a swing at a 3 who could still be a star if he had more of a role.

This is a believable move if they think they're going to have to free up some money. They already know that they can work with Turner. His best play was with the Celtics. I don't want to give up on Hayward though. I think he's going to come back eventually, it just takes time. The speed with which PG13 came back to full strength gave people unrealistic expectations. He also isn't a player who's been completely reliant on physical ability. He's a smart player who's biggest attribute is his decision making. As his body comes back (and his aggressiveness with it), even if he doesn't come back to 100% he will be a very good player.

The issue I have with the trade, is that I don't think you get anyone who's as good as he should be again in Free Agency. I doubt Durant goes to Boston, as he's already dealt with the backlash of joining a really good team. Next time he will either form a new group like LeBron/ Wade/ Bosh did in Miami, or join a team with young talent he can try to build with like LeBron.

LeBron isn't going anywhere, and Leonard is going to the West Coast or staying in Toronto. Porzingis is restricted, and NY should probably match. He's also coming off injuries of his own. The way they're going to get better is either trading for Davis (or another young star) or Hayward gets healthy. That's pretty much it.


2.) 28 Jan 2019 19:44:39
I don't think the want to trade Hayward. Not that they won't trade him. I just believe that they are smart enough to realize that it's going to take a while to come back from that injury. So, they are not taking pennies on the dollar for him. They would o let trade him if it makes sense to do so.


3.) 28 Jan 2019 20:01:14
Why would Portland do this? Hayward still has 60 plus million owed to him over the next 2 years.


4.) 28 Jan 2019 20:29:47
Portland does this because Hayward is currently better than Turner and Harkless. If he comes back into form, he's a great asset. They take a gamble on potentially getting an elite wing. Worst case scenario, they turn two bad contracts into one that fits the team better.

This only happens if Anthony Davis will sign his extension for Portland, so I’m well aware this is a long shot.

Por: Davis, Moore, K Williams

NO: McCollum, Collins, nurkic, 2 top 5 protected 1st round picks

I think this is going to be around as good as offers will be from other places. Portland might also throw in simons as an extra piece.

I don't know if Davis would want to stay with the leftovers there. Adding him to the current lineup, I think he would be a really good fit. But with most of the talent going back to NO, he's not left in a much better situation with Lillard than he is already in with Holiday.


2.) 28 Jan 2019 20:37:46
I definitely think Davis would still not commit to staying, but I think Portland should push hard to try to get him. Extension or no. It's the kind of high risk move that brings a team out of mediocrity.

I also think that a starting lineup of Lillard, Davis, Aminu, Moore, and (Layman, Turner, Harkless) would be much better than what NO has now.


3.) 28 Jan 2019 21:07:05
Lillard on the Derrick Rose rule list?

Crazy theory of how the wizards can restart. I know it’s not going to happen. But fun to think about.

Wiz: Beal
Mavs: DSJ, Wes Mathews (maybe a pick)

Wiz: wall, Bryant
TWolves: Wiggins

Wiz: porter, Morris, green
Kings: Randolph, Shumpert, J. Jackson, Ferrell, giles

Wiz: can finally restart with young guys like Wiggins, DSJ, Jackson, Ferrell and Giles. And also getting rid of all the bad chemistry and staring new.

Mavs: looking for the #2 for Luka. Beal is still youngish, great second option for Luka as he plays well on and off the ball.

Wolves: I thought this was the craziest because they are both players with giant contracts. But I think KAT thrives around guards with attack the lane and are ball dominant like Drose has this year. And a 1-2 punch of wall and rose off the beach would be deadly. I think wall could put them back into the playoff hunt.

Kings: all I hear from the kings camp is how bad lay they want a true wing. How bout 3 wings that all are solid players at least. Adding so lame veterans like Morris and green can be big for teams picking for the playoffs like the kings. This solidifies your worst area. And you don’t have to give up any of your best young guys.

That's a great trade for the Kings. which means I as a Celtics fan don't want it to happen haha. They can turn into a smart/ good team next year after that pick transfers.

I actually don't like it a ton for the Wizards. Bringing in DSJ and a few of those Kings players is great, although I think they can get much more for Beal, but if I'm them I want NOTHING to do with Wiggins. He's got GOBS of talent, but he just looks lazy out there. He reminds me of Jeff Green. a guy with all the ability in the world who never becomes better than an OK starter, except even more talented, and so even more frustrating. If they're going to work out of their current issues, I would try to move Wall somewhere else.

Lillard just barely doesn’t qualify for the Rose Rule was not an all star starter twice, or all nba twice, or mvp before he signed the extension. Makes 5 year / 25% team salary. Rose rule is 30%.

If you swap Collins with swanigan. Then blazers say yes.

Well here’s my reasoning
1) dame has had those meetings with Paul Allen to pay the luxury bill if the right move comes around.
2) yes Turner has a bad contract, but still 11 mill less than Melo’s. I just figured that OKC is trying to win now and would rather get value in a good bench piece than just buy melo out and with the stretch have to deal with his contract for the next several years.
3) to my knowledge the contracts do work because the blazers have a 13 mill TPE from the Crabbe trade and can go into the luxury of they use it.
