    They showed a graphic last night on TV that showed 3 options for AD's next contract. But I only caught the end of it

    #1 if he stayed in NO and got the max
    #2 if he was traded and resigned for the max
    #3 if he was traded, became a FA and then received the max

    What is the difference between the 2nd and 3rd options? is it just the number of years?

    You toss in whatever draft picks the teams

      • need to make this happen.
      ​


    NO gets out of big contracts and gets a rental of Gasol that is basically an expiring for them. They get a couple young guys for the future and can start their rebuild.

    Memphis gets an elite shooter to put next to Conley and as center to replace Gasol until they can improv.

    Again toss in whatever picks each team might want to get them over the edge to make this happen.

    The conventional wisdom is that Boston has the best assets to offer, right? And Kyrie has pretty well indicated that he's leaving the Celtics in free agency, right? So then, can anyone explain to me why the Celtics aren't offering those assets and Kyrie to the Pelicans for a Davis package?
    Step away from the trade machine.

    Huh? Kyrie said he was going to re-sign. Everything else is ESPN made drama about him and LeBron making up.

    OK, I'll take your word for it. I recall hearing talk that he wanted to go to NY, that he had clashed with Stevens, etc. But I guess if they think he's staying, then that answers that question.

    The reason I would say that there is more than a 'zero reason' to expedite a deal is that the longer it goes, the less they will get except possibly from Boston (which I believe his agent has said isn't a preferred destination).

    If he were to make 2 Playoff runs with a team and get to the Conference Finals or perhaps even the Finals, it would be more difficult to leave and he would have a stronger bond with the team. Knowing that, teams will offer more now as the albeit small chance of keeping him is higher.

    I.e., if he were to come to Portland and get to the WCF this season and maybe even farther next year as I expect GS will make changes in the off-season, it might be tough for him to leave for LA given that LeBron would be 36 that season. A day-to-day hamstring issue is not passed a month. He won't get healthier even as great of a specimen as he is.

    That's exactly the point, just like AD for Zion is laughable now. Hindsight is always the judge.

    I really can’t see the Pelicans taking that package. There isn’t a single top-end talent being offered.

    Agreed but I think that is partly because Pels have it out against the Lakers. I was posting it because previously the rumor was Kuzma or Ingram but not both.

    To me common sense says that if that team Ball, Kuzma, Ingram, Etc) couldnt make it to the playoffs last year why would they make it next year in the West? Jrue is good but not that good and Randle was with that group last year too. I hope the Pelicans think about that and not just see it as a bunch of talent.

    Funny that along with Randle, (Who the Pelicans already have) that was basically last years Laker's team.

    But the national media keeps telling me how good those Laker players are. Is there a chance it's #FakeNews?

    It is decent talent. But similar to when the Lakers traded around 4 players and picks to Milwaukee for Kareem, it is never enough. You can always replace decent talent in a year or two, you just can't replace All NBA players.

    Exactly. Hey New Orleans! Do you want to be the exact same shitty team we were for a few years? You can have the same people!

    Except it's not even a legal trade because Kyrie and Anthony Davis can't both be on Boston this year.
