    Are you sure? Dumb people can't take it, smart people laugh at it.

    Pelicans sure cold use a guy like Crabbe Do they have anything we would want to offload Crabbe? Ezeli, Vonleh & Crabbe for thier 2018 1st & Motiejunas?

    Motiejunas might pair up wel with Nurkic. He has fallout off the maps but had a great season with Houston a few years ago. If anything he could be a serviceable backup?

    Gives them an outside shooter, some money off their cap with Ezeli, and a replacement body at PF ion Vonleh.

    Is there a site that allows you to build trades that includes draft picks?

    Looks like the trash team lost again last night, neither game close now. They're not a good fit.

    I wouldn't. Davis is ok but we have Nurkic. Cousins is garbage.

    Pelicans will be after players better than Crabbe come next Summer. With the likes of Redick and Caldwell-Pope hitting free agency they will make a run for both, hard to say if they succeed but they will 100% try.

    It will be interesting to see if UFA's have a desire to play with Cousins. We will see if the rumors were true from the Kings radio guy or if they were BS about his teammates hating playing with him. Of course money talks but if the Pelicans don't get much love from FA's, a contract absorption for someone like Crabbe may be their best option.

    with needing to retain/pay Jrue (who is a UFA) or pay up for another PG I don't believe they will have much cap, if any for a good FA/ They have 87 mil committed to 10 active contracts and a 15 mil cap hold on Jrue, that puts then right at the 102 mil estimated cap

    They will be trying hard to get rid of Hill and Asik. Maybe there will be takers.

    Another game in which Cousins and Davis put up big numbers last night yet they still lost. Playoffs are drifting away and in 5-6 games could be well out of sight at this rate. They've lost 37 games already so even considering that 8th seed this season will have a very poor record (all of their direct rivals lost last night too), I don't think you can lose more than 47 and still get into playoffs. That means they cannot lose more than 10 games in the remaining 22. It'll be tough for sure in this form.

    If they keep playing like this then it will have turned out to be somewhat a decent deal for Kings, all things considered, if they draft well. Kings will commence the tank now and even though they will have to swap picks with Philadelphia if they go too far, Sixers pick will likely be #6 or #7 at worst too. Then the New Orleans pick is now projected to be #7 so that would mean two top 10 picks. We are talking about the franchise who has had a top 10 pick in most of the last 6-7 drafts and ended up with one decent player from it but nevertheless, they could potentially get two stars in one draft. It's absolutely key for Sacramento to not fall out of top 10 with their own pick and not have it go to Chicago though.

    There is plenty you can say about Boogie, but just looking at skill/talent you can't say he's garbage.
    Mental midget, as less than 30s into the game Adams got Boogie to do something stupid which caused him to get a tech.
    Can't tell me the Pelicans coaching staff didn't speak with Boogie before the game saying, "90% of Adam's game is based on, how to piss you off".
    Can't trust Boogie to stay out of his own way. Thank god Portland didn't trade CJ for Boogie.

    Boogie is far from garbage skill/talent wise.
    Mental part of the game, I would say KS is right.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Davis and Cousins are awesome, the Pelicans are garbage. Holiday might literally be their only other worthwhile NBA player. It's going to be tough to put a decent roster around those two, but they have gotten the hardest part out of the way--acquiring two superstars. They're closer to contention than they were before they made the deal, regardless of where the record ends up this year.

    Damn, we should have traded for Boogie when we had the chance. At least that way, we'd win a game every time he got suspended.
