    If insurance companies stop carrying policies for youth football leagues, America may start having more interest in baseball by necessity. And if that happens you will be able to here me gut laughing as far as Peru.

    Follow that up with a Leonard + 1st for Mirotic. I'm on board.

    Does the fact that Davis is announcing now mean he doesn't want to go to Boston?

    It's interesting. AD has been on record like Aldridge saying he doesn't want to play C, but his team always seems to be better with him playing that position.

    I would go big: (posted this elsewhere but it fits better here)

    CJ/Collins/Turner/Simons or Trent and picks

    for

    Davis/Holliday

    If New Orleans is having to move AD, it is complete rebuild time. For Portland, getting AD/Holliday to go with Dame/Nurkic puts them in position to get a FA to come play on 'the cheap' for a chance to win a title.

    Add into that, I don't believe G-State won't look the same next season.

    It's important to keep in mind this is the beginning of the NFL'S biggest week of the year and the NBA is stealing the headline.

    The NBA loves this.

    I find it weird that people are offering trades with CJ and saying it's time for them to rebuild if they trade AD.

    AD is younger than CJ.

    I think CJ would absolutely have to go in any trade for AD. With Lillard's contract and AD's new contract, we could just not afford to keep CJ. I think NO would look at CJ, Collins, and whoever they wanted from Simons, Trent, Layman, plus draft picks.

    Double kick in the groin for New Orleans sports fans. In the past week they got the blown call costing them the SB and now the AD news. Thoughts and prayers to the fans out there.

    Why is it weird? CJ for AD is not an equal trade so you have to put some sort of statement like that to justify it.

    Also, New Orleans did this to themselves by leaving a horrible GM in place who didn't put the right pieces around AD.

    Simply by not doing the Cousins trade they'd have Buddy Hield and someone like Donovan Mitchell from the 2017 draft.

    They've made the playoffs twice in 7 years with him. By contrast the Blazers will be going to the playoffs for their 6th straight season this year in that same span.

    CJ's triple double shows that Lillard is holding him back. CJ needs to go to a team where he can be the main focus on offense. See James Harden being traded from OKC for example.

    (Now this is how you sell a CJ for AD trade. Start posting this everywhere and hopefully the Pelicans eventually see it.)
