    Dumping a lot of salary - maybe going after a free agent this summer? Beal, anyone?

    How much cap space can we open up this off-season?

    Nurk is next.

    These trades are about contracts, not directly talent. CJ and Norm had long, expensive contracts attached to them and there’s a price to moving those contracts. Just another way Olshey fucked this franchise over.

    So we gave us a 1st for Nance. We get a 1st back.

    CJ for Hart and parts.

    Look at this shit sly! Whose our headliner we got from Cj, Norman Powell, Roco, and Larry Nance?

    Josh Fucking Hart?! We didn’t even get a boatload of picks for them. And please don’t tell me “well we freed up some money” because we all know we never make free agent splashy free agent signings.

    Is the goal of this trade season to make Nurk feel like he's on Lilliput. This shit is ridiculous and if the trade gets finalized these guys can only be sent out in one for one deals before Thursday.

    Is this some sick gamble to see if New Orleans doesn’t make the playoffs (they’re in the play in at the moment), after trading them two win now pieces??

    I don't know, but i think those of us who weren't sure if he was a net positive for the team are pleased with reports of what we may be getting.

    Which is why I asked the question to those who were saying CJ was a near all-star and didn't have a bad contract. Those we two things I was disputing for a few years.

    It appears you don't fall in that camp because you don't think his contract was an assest in this trade, it was the opposite.

    Given the pay increase expected for Ant this summer, I won't be surprised to see him and Nurk dealt tomorrow for Josh Richardson or some crap like that.

    I think it could be done with a three team trade with Houston, but who's listening to me?
