    Yeah, so maybe we'll lose in 5 or 6 next time.

    Kind of depends on what happens to GS this summer. I'm of the opinion GS will basically stay intact, but "IF" KD and Klay go the west is wide open.

    We have the talent to beat anyone if we're healthy. I have no doubt about that.

    There is no way this team, even with Nurk, beats the Raptors or Warriors at full strength in a 7 game series. Our feckless forwards are too big a liability.

    Our team at the time of Nurkic's leg break was top 4 in the league IMO. But, we now face likely losing most of our free agents (Kanter, Hood, Curry, Aminu and Layman).

    Our forwards are still performing under normal NBA standards and should be improved. But the temptation to go for it (ADavis) is big.

    Not if Collins makes the leap I expect him to make.

    His reported package is essentially what’s been discussed before on this board. And if you think about it, CJs value will never be higher. I’d love to build a team around Dame,AD, and Nurk. I also believe AD would stay, and Dame would be influential in making that happen. CJ is also a perfect fit in New Orleans, especially next to Jrue.

    So if the Batum and ET thing goes down, our lineup would be something like:

    Dame/Hill/Batum/Davis/Nurk?

    You'd have to find a way to bring Hood back. But holy shit, that's incredible defensively. Hella expensive, but sick.

    The only unbelievable part of the rumor is Olshey growing the pair to do it. But him and Griffin are close and it makes sense, so I believe it’s at least being discussed.

    Woj from an hour ago https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26941750/pelicans-open-multi-team-davis-deal

    Certainly fits the CJ + Collins + 2 first idea.

    I think the roadblock will be the ability to land a lottery pick. But Batum + 12 for ET saves Charlotte approx 33 mil. If Kemba's walking, that's probably not a bad plan for them.
