New Orleans Pelicans Rumours

10 Apr 2024 17:36:39
Cleveland gets: Herb Jones, Jordan Hawkins, 2025 top 5 protected first (via Pels) & 2027 first (via Bucks)
New Orleans gets: Jarrett Allen

Why?
Cleveland moves Mobley to full time center, & they get a good frontcourt partner, a prospect, & two picks.
New Orleans gets their center of the future, one of the more underrated players in the league.

11 Apr 2024 10:21:31
Big fan of Allen but that's a huge overpay. Jones has a lot of value.

11 Apr 2024 16:20:15
Massive overpay. Swap Jones out for Daniels or Nance.

Thoughts? Who says no?

01 Apr 2024 13:22:04
Why would the pacers do this?

09 Apr 2024 03:00:39
to be honest, they don't have a good reason to. But for 1 team out of 15, it'd be pretty easy to transfer another first to them or something.

24 Mar 2024 19:06:05
Does a Harrison Barnes for Jonathan Isaac trade make any sense for both teams? Sac gets a PF playable next to Sabonis and Orl gets a veteran known for his leadership.

24 Mar 2024 20:42:31
I can’t see any way Orlando would do that.

25 Mar 2024 06:08:02
So who is mentoring/ leading this team in the locker room?

25 Mar 2024 13:03:23
Magic should sign Bruce Brown instead. Isaac is a defensive monster.

25 Mar 2024 15:57:24
THey can get someone in the Garrett Temple/ Thad Young mold. No need to give up Isaac for a substantially worse player.

25 Mar 2024 23:35:04
I get the idea of it. But Mentoring doesn’t carry that price tag. Orlando needs to keep their core intact.

29 Mar 2024 20:37:36
Isaac was going to be a key member for the Magic before he got hurt (several times) . They decided to keep him and pay him even though he didn't play for 3 years or so. Since then, he was replaced by Banchero and Franz, but he is still a key contributor off the bench. Orlando has a good young team that is starting to come together. No need to bring in anyone in a "mentor" role.

21 Jan 2024 21:54:53
That is an easy easy no from Pels.

23 Jan 2024 01:50:16
That is an even easier no from Sacramento.

19 Jan 2024 22:47:13
New Orleans - Atlanta

New Orleans get Dejounte Murray

Atlanta get Larry Nance Jr, Dyson Daniels & 2 1st round picks with protection

20 Jan 2024 02:53:01
Yes from Pels.

20 Jan 2024 11:17:58
Why would the Hawks make this trade?

05 Feb 2024 17:22:46
Hell why would the Pels make this trade, they are already guard heavy.

17 Jan 2024 22:58:16

PG:Quickley/Schroder/Lewis

13 Jan 2024 12:35:15
Scenario that is in discussion and TOR is interested in. Siakam would agree to sign a max deal in Dallas - if offered. Mavs are all in, but have the good roster. TOR gets a young rebuilded roster! ORL starts Bitadze and will resign him and get a frist. Chi gets another backup C, since Drummond will go to DAL winter or summer.


TOR W. Carter, Williams, Prosper, Carter
DAL Siakam, McDaniels, Drummond
ORL Holmes, 1st DAL
CHI Maxi, 2nd DAL

13 Jan 2024 22:24:57
Do you make trades just to bait reactions? How on earth is Siakam not fetching you any picks at all with minimal prospects?

14 Jan 2024 09:48:24
Do y comment just for saying? TOR looks for young players first over picks!

Quickley, Barrett, Barnes, Williams (Prosper), Carter Jr.

23 Dec 2023 12:57:45

23 Dec 2023 16:46:44
I’m not including Trey Murphy in any trades if I’m the Pels. Or Herb Jones. I don’t like Mitchell as a fit in NOLA either.

26 Dec 2023 03:12:49
Not even close to enough especially considering that 2025 first from Milwaukee will not convey.

05 Dec 2023 03:45:40
SAC - NO

Sacramento receives: Marshall, Lewis

New Orleans receives: Lyles

SAC depth:
Fox / Mitchell / Lewis
Huerter / Monk / Duarte / Jones
Barnes / Marshall / Edwards
Murray / Vezenkhov
Sabonis / McGee / Len

NO depth:
McCollum / Daniels / Alvarado
Ingram / Hawkins
Jones / Murphy
Williamson / Lyles / Liddell
Valunciunas / Nance / Zeller

Marshall is playing well but New Orleans has a lot of good young wing players and may not want to pay him after this season. Lyles could help them with depth at the 4/5 while Nance is out and has another year on his contract after this one.

17 Oct 2023 14:02:18
MIA-ORL-MIN

MIA gets Fultz, Carter Jr,

ORL gets Herro, Towns, Jacquez, 2028 1st rd pick via MIA

MIN gets Issac, Harris, Anthony, 2025 and 2027 FRP via ORL


Fultz/ Lowry
Butler/ Richardson
Caleb Martin/ Robinson
Bam Adebayo/ Jovic/ Love
Wendel Carter/ Thomas Bryant

** Jovic might be added to this trade if ORL insists

Suggs/ Anthony Black
Herro/ Ingles
Wagner/ Jacquez
Paolo/ Okeke
Towns/ Wagner

Cole Anthony/ Conley
Edwards/ Gary Harris
McDaniels
Issac
Gobert/ Naz Reid

I think minny's front office is slowly realizing this team can only be built around ant and only ant, so getting as much as they can for towns is of the utmost importance- maybe ORL throws another FRP into the mix to sweeten it up.

Issac is a gamble but if he pays off then the GM will look like a genius given the contract, he's on- if he really excels, he either becomes a good trade piece or a core member of a rebuild.

17 Oct 2023 18:29:49
Horrible for Minnesota are you kidding.

18 Oct 2023 07:11:19
Tha Miami pick should go to Minny and Orlando should give another pick too.

11 Oct 2023 16:19:56
Orl: LaVine
Bulls: KAT
Wolves: Isaac+Fultz+Harris+ 1rnd pick Orl 24+ 1rnd pick Por 24+ 1rnd pick Denver 25+ 1rnd pick Bulls 26+ 1rnd pick Was or Suns 26

=> Orlando receive the shootingguard they need.
=> The bulls receive a star
=> The Wolves get 5 draft picks so the Wolves can built arround Edwards

11 Oct 2023 17:20:15
Wolves getting a bunch of meh pieces for their second-best player.

11 Oct 2023 19:41:25
As a Wolves fan, I don't hate this. But they don't have the roster spots to take on 3 players while only giving up 1.

Honestly, If Isaac could stay healthy, I would love him at PF next to KAT at center. Having strong defenders in Conley, Edwards McDaniels, and Isaac would go a long way to offset the average to below average D from KAT.

12 Oct 2023 05:30:42
KAT & Vooch together?

09 Oct 2023 18:08:40
Orl:Embiid
Philly:F Wagner+Okeke/CarterJr+Isaac+1rnd pick Orl 24-27+ 1rnd pick 25 Denver+ 1rnd pick 26 Was

Orl;
C:Embiid
Pf:Banchero
SF:Ingles
SG:Fultz
PG:c anthony

09 Oct 2023 19:23:44
I wouldn't do this for Orlando. They give up their second-best prospect as well as their depth. That starting line-up aside from Embiid & Banchero is pretty bad. Also, not sure if Embiid & Banchero are a good fit.

10 Oct 2023 21:16:17
Orlando needs a really good SG I think. We have pretty good bigs, have at least 2 building blocks with Paolo and Franz, and some decent guards. If they make any trades, I think it will be for a SG.

27 Sep 2023 19:06:45
Jrue Holiday heading elsewhere? It's weird but he could be a good fit with Miami. Lmao.

Pelicans would be a great fit but again contracts will be a problem. How about Celtics?

Brogdon + additional player for salary 1st round pick, pick swap for Jrue?

Holiday
White
Brown
Tatum
Porzingis

Would be deadly

27 Sep 2023 20:27:12
Brogdon is far, far from what Portland is looking for in return. The only way that makes any sense for Portland is if Robert Williams is included with Bogdon.

27 Sep 2023 20:34:07
Brogdon and Williams for Jrue makes a lot of sense to me.

27 Sep 2023 20:37:02
Dark horse for Jrue after Dec 15th?

LA Lakers. Hachimura+Russell+ Picks?

28 Sep 2023 03:52:34
Starting to hear some Jrue Holiday to Toronto right after the trade went down.

29 Sep 2023 02:00:22
Would love to see Pels reunite w Jrue.

18 Aug 2023 10:21:32
SAC - NOP

Sacramento receives: Daniels, Alvarado (or Lewis)

New Orleans receives: Mitchell, Duarte, POR '25 2nd

Sac depth:
Fox / Daniels / Alvarado
Huerter / Monk / Jones
Barnes / Edwards
Murray / Lyles / Vezenkhov
Sabonis / Len / Noel / Queta

NO depth:
McCollum / Mitchell / Lewis
Ingram / Duarte / Hawkins
Jones / Murphy / Marshall
Williamson / Liddell
Valunciunas / Nance / Zeller

Mitchell is a better defender than Daniels, but the Kings need wing defenders. Daniels is more suited to guard / play multiple positions and has more long term upside.

Mitchell's role would be much clearer with the Pelicans. They may be able to make the jump to being a playoff team sooner with Mitchell and Duarte.

18 Aug 2023 14:46:45
I’d do it with Lewis instead of Alvarado.

18 Aug 2023 20:13:46
I really like that for Sacramento.

20 Aug 2023 18:19:33
Easy pass by Sacramento. Daniels does zero for Sac.

11 Aug 2023 22:05:53
N. O gets Zach Lavine

CHI gets Zion Williamson and a 2025 1st

New Orleans gets from under the cloud that is Zion, they're getting a Top 5 shooting guard that's under contract for 3 more years that could play off of CJ McCullom. Great locker room guy, the Pels wouldnt be giving up any youth and could N. O. would be in WIN RIGHT NOW mode

Chicago would get immediate help in the paint and it would also move Patrick Williams to his natural SF spot where he would flourish. Zion gets a fresh start and would have a veteran than could help him on and off the court with conditioning in Derozen. Plus the fact that if Lonzo Ball is healthy next year (2024-25) Zion would be happy to play with Lonzo.

12 Aug 2023 15:37:01
Laughable.

12 Aug 2023 18:08:54
I like Zion+ to Portland for Lillard.

24 Jul 2023 21:46:44
Thunder- B.Ingram
- bring in a star to play alongside Shai & Chet
Thunder slim team

SGA - Wallace - Washington
Jal. Williams - Mann - Micic
Ingram - Dieng - Joe
Chet - K.Williams - Garuba
Jay. Williams - Pokusevski

New Orleans- J.Giddey, L.Dort, V.Oladipo, 1st round pick & future pick swap
- get a tall point guard and a defensive specialist

Giddey - Alvarado - Lewis
McCollum - Daniels - Oladipo
Murphy - Dort - Hawkins
Williamson - Jones
Valanciunas - Nance - Zeller

25 Jul 2023 00:38:00
That’s a very easy no from NOLA.

25 Jul 2023 13:52:53
I just don't love it for NOP. BI is 25 and could be their a piece of a big 2/ 3 if Zion can recover a little. Giddey doesn't fit so well into the OKC mold so I could see them moving him rather than paying him but BI is pretty untouchable right now.

21 Jul 2023 21:51:38
Nets:Embiid

Orl:B simmons+1rnd pick Dal 29+ 2rnd pick NETs 25 and 26

Philly: Isaac+Fultz+ 1rnd pick Suns 25-27-29+ return 1rnd pick Philly 27

Nets:
C: Embiid/Claxton/sharpe
PF:C johnson/DF Smith
SF:Bridges/O'Neal
SG:L Walker/C Thomas
PG:Dinwidie/D Smith Jr

21 Jul 2023 23:03:06
Not nearly enough for Embiid.

22 Jul 2023 02:57:04
what a strange looking trade summary: a poison pill, a guy who has
played 11 games in 3 years and an MVP.

21 Jul 2023 21:21:20
Atl: J Harden+ 1rnd pick Orl 24-26-28

Orl: T Young

Philly: D Mitchell

Cle: Griffin+Isaac+ Fultz+ 1rnd pick Denver 24+ 1rnd pick Phoe/was26+1rnd pick Philly 29

22 Jul 2023 10:58:15
Awful for Cleveland.

22 Jul 2023 18:22:01
Griffin would be a good fit in Cleveland and they can use te picks to get another good player.

22 Jul 2023 21:21:51
This "they can use the picks to get another good player" freaks me out. How about "do not trade your best player" for those picks?

17 Jul 2023 12:29:37
Cleveland receives: Dyson Daniels
New Orleans receives: Isaac Okoro, draft rights to Luke Travers & Khalifa Diop & two second round picks.

Why?
Cleveland gets a wing that fits well in our roster.
New Orleans gets some decent prospects in return.

17 Jul 2023 12:47:56
Easy no from NO.

17 Jul 2023 15:09:02
Yeah. No thanks from NOLA.
