    Props to PG13 and AD, at least they told their teams that they are not re-signing. We got LaMarcus who lied to us and left us for nothing.

    So is everybody going to be crushed when AD is traded to the Lakers, Celtics, or Knicks?

    "A picks-based package wouldn’t necessarily be most appealing to the Pelicans anyway," according to The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor. "New Orleans is the NBA’s smallest market and the team ranks 26th in attendance this season, despite having a megastar in Davis. The front office could theoretically prefer to receive an established player, so the team’s fan interest and attendance doesn’t dwindle."

    Contending teams with lesser stars, such as the Trail Blazers with CJ McCollum, could surprising us by entering the Davis sweepstakes, much like the Raptors did for Leonard by dangling DeMar DeRozan or Oklahoma City did for Paul George. New Orleans, an unexpected destination for Cousins, knows this all too well. The Lakers were ironically considered favorites for all three of those stars at one point.

    Jrue, McCollum, Randle, and Collins is a pretty nice core to build around, relatively speaking. They all compliment each other.

    He’s not coming to Portland. He said he wants to join a team that consistently win, not a team he swept in the first round a season ago. I just hope it’s not the lakers or the warriors.

    I bet Lebron is putting the pressure on AD big time and he seems like the type of guy that would cave to it. All of this since Paul became his agent appears to be a plan to help Lebron. Really Lame.

    Because the lakers consistently win? Btw, LeBron is 34. 35 going on 36 after next season. Would AD really commit long term to LA next summer?

    Lebron at 35 is still better than a lot of NBA players. Not saying he goes to the lakers but I feel it’s a much more realistic destination than us. We couldn’t even convince a washed up Carmelo to come here.

    We don’t need to convince AD, we need to convince the Pelicans. The rest will take care of itself. Carmelo had no real relationship with anyone on Portland and is an east coast guy. AD and Lillard are friends. But we can worry about that later

    The Blazers consistently win, and are working towards getting better. With AD, they immediately become contenders IMO.

    But true. Just like the horrible fact that they once created a show called After Mash.

    Olshey knew for weeks, if not months, before we did.

    The Pelicans should have kept him instead of Davis.

    I feel like you guys are just getting your hopes up for no reason. I want Portland to succeed as much as any other fan, but truth of matter is we probably have to do it through the draft. I woud love Anthony Davis on Portland with Lillard. I don’t want us to blow our load on him then have him just leave next season. When is the last time in franchise history we were able to get a player of Davis’s caliber here in either trade or free agency?

    I really think this type of trade would work. In this scenario the Pelicans not only get two guys that can help them be good now but they get two 1sts too. That would give them 3 1st rounders this year and they could be pretty good next year if they used them wisely.

    We get AD but have to take on 2 bad contracts to do so. The other two teams save a ton of money this year.

    Our GM ranks at the bottom in his talent to negotiate trades. We have no chance.
