Trade CJ McCollum to New Orleans

i think you vastly overestimate our rookie interim GM.

 

I am, this guy is workin it, with capspace available if we want it and a TPE and many teams in the tax it's not a bad place to be at all

 

I am not excited yet, but I am a lot more interested than I was since the start of the year.

 

Nurk for Plumlee straight up

 

Yeah on draft night to the highest bidder with really young talent and picks that night that we like.

 

you can't have both. EITHER capspace or TPE.

Very likely we renounce all our exceptions come July 1.

 

Nurkic has a 18M cap hold. Simons has 11M. Add those together and we only have 10M of real capspace this summer. So that is out the door. Please move Nurkic and be done with this. We don't need him or that cap hold.

 

.....which is about what we would get with the Non-taxpayer MLE. lol this just gets worse.

 

Thought I read it on here.

Wouldn’t surprise me though

 

Doesn't work but add in Kai Jones and the trade goes through. Also they should give us a pick for that because they're getting a lot better but it will probably be a 2028 conditional second rounder.

 

So what happens if we don't get the pick this year?

 

Just heard a report - 2 2nds and a lotto protected pick for CJ AND Nance? Oh yeah - also a bunch more players irrelevant to the goal of rebuilding around Dame.

Please just trade Dame. He doesn't deserve this.

 

Some dude posted it to his twitter but he didn't have a check and it definitely wasn't Woj but for sure we should be trading Nurk ASAP.

 

+a lot

 

i'm almost certain the moves we made this week are to ensure both Nurk and Ant remain.

 

I agree.

 

and do we get a draft pick?

 

Being IN the Play-In, doesn't mean you aren't a Lottery team. WINNING the Play-In would take a team out of being a Lottery team. The Pelicans can be in the Play-In, and as long as they don't advance, we would get the pick unless they got very luck and jumped into the top-4.
