Y’all need to take it easy on Bamba... he’s an extremely raw rookie. We knew what we were getting ourselves into when we drafted him. You can frame an unfinished puzzle

Wasn't there a report that Jrue prefers to play the 2?

If they are having a fire sale for picks to be the new worst team in the NBA, I would offer up Mozgod Simmons and a lightly protected pick for Jrue in a heart beat.

Dude Lonzo plays pretty damn good defense and has really good court vision. Elfrid was Casper the ghost on defense with ok court vision.

They’re about to get Dwight Howarded

Knicks could offer unprotected 2019 first, Knox, frank and Tim hardaway jr. pelicans should jump all over that.

I’m a balliever

We need a legit rumor fast lol things are getting nutty up in here

WOAH.... So who says no in this? http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ycpruhyh edit: just realized I left philly with no pg.. but maybe they can make do with shamet and mcconnel.

for real I think we have a better chance of convincing KD to come here in free agency than we do convincing AD to resign if we trade for him.

We would have to get top 3 in the lotto otherwise I think we have a more reasonable shot at getting reddish. I want us to choose a direction and decide if we are buyers or sellers so we don't get stuck in no mans land. That to me would be the most frustrating outcome of the season for me.

Yeah I Guess reddish would be more likely but still even that sounds exciting!

I’d be up for holiday but I just don’t think he’s really attainable. I don’t think Nola has the doomsday clock that close to midnight

Lonzo/Barrett/Isaac/AG/Bamba... thoughts?

I see lakers fans being like no that’s too much but in reality they are giving up an under performing sf, a still unproven pg, and a good combo forward for the best power forward (maybe tied with giannis) in the NBA who falls into that superstar category on a good contract. I think Magic and Lebron would realize this too.

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ycuzhlbk I think LA has to include Kuzma to get the deal done. Ingram and Harts value has decreased a lot this season and Ball isn't proven enough to get back that kind of a return. Honestly its Anthony *****ing Davis and sure Kuzma has been looking really good recently but is no where near AD. You gotta give a lot to get that level of superstar. Nola: Payton/Moore, Holiday/Simmons, Kuzma/Ingram, Randle/Mirotic, Vuc/Okafor Lakers: Rondo/DJ, Hart/Lance/Svi, Lebron/Beasley, AD/Melo?, Chandler/McGee/Zubac/Wagner Magic: Ball/Briscoe, Fournier/Ross, Isaac/Iwundu, AG/Martin, Bamba/Birch With this we could then flip Ross for another asset or resign him if we think hes willing to stay with us. edit: fixed the link

I think they try to quick rebuild since they still have mirotic, holiday and randle to build around. So I see a package of established players and young assets since the picks for any of the teams interested won’t be too valuable. A few of the Boston picks are decent but I don’t think they would want that many pick in this draft

Party is about to start

I’d rather have SGA

I’m in on this for sure

https://www.poundingtherock.com/2019/1/23/18194453/lonnie-walker-has-been-lighting-up-the-g-league That trade with SA I mentioned for Vuc would be nice. Lonnie looks like he’s been killing it in the g league and is ready for the next step.

Yeah those are some of the best ones I thought. I really like that SA one and like the blazers deal if we can get Collins and a pick that would be pretty good value for Ross. Collins would be an upgrade over Martin at backup power forward and Turner wouldn’t be that bad since he is expiring next year. Their pick would probably be in the late teens early 20s.

I’ve been running through teams and If we are truly going to be sellers I think these are what some of the offers could look like. Some seem nice, some are meh, some I could be reaching on... I need to go to bed lol -Ross and Simmons for Wesley Johnson Solomon hill and Nola first rounder -Ross for fultz -Ross and Simmons for Collins, Turner and blazers first -Ross for kcp and lakers first -Vuc for kcp, Hart and lakers first -Vuc for Rozier baynes yabu and earliest of Boston firsts -Vuc for Rozier Brown and Baynes -Vuc and Simmons for Pau, Lonnie and spurs first -Vuc and Grant for George hill and bucks first -Vuc and Grant for Kcp and Ingram -Fournier and Grant for Kennard and Jackson

It’s been quiet so I think something must be cooking

From the sound of that interview I would think everyone they haven’t drafted themselves and Gordon are on the market
