    I guess Golden State could use him also. Seems like they don't really have to worry about paying players max contracts and paying luxury tax doesn't really worry them.

    Stotts really likes Moe and Aminu as his forwards. Maybe they trade for AD and makes AD come off the bench to play back up minutes to Nurk and Aminu so he doesn't have to break up his forwards!

    A trade involving 9 players? I'm pretty sure somewhere someone once said that would be one of the most unlikely scenarios you could come up with but boy would it be cool. Exactly what is the biggest trade player wise that has ever happened?

    Anyone think our AD chances would slightly be better with Paul still alive?

    I honestly think it's impossible to build a NBA championship solely through the draft. At least for small market teams. You might be able to build a rough structure of a contender. But that would still needed to get Andre Iguodala or somebody to fill out what you don't have. Drafting for any organization is hard. You got to get just the right amount of info and luck to make it work. Look at OKC, they had some amazing talent on that team and they still couldn't break through. They got close though. But free agency gives you the do over to cover those mistakes you almost certainly going to have.

    9 players is a bit high, but there have been bigger ones. I think the unlikely scenarios involve more than 3 teams.

    Actually I’d like to get in on that three way and send CJ to NO, Chief and a 1 to GS, and take back Klay/Mirotic:)

    WOW Fire Sale....

    The Pelicans have made Nikola Mirotic, Julius Randle, and E’Twaun Moore available in trade talks for Draft Picks, per @ZachLowe_NBA.

    Shit, NOLA's GM is still Dell Demps, the guy who tried to gift CP3 to the L*kers. He probably grew up a Lakers fan himself.

    HAHAHA

    Yes, Scalma, I'm sure Olshey isn't going to pursue AD and put CJ on the table...

    It's not about just pursuing him, he has to outbid 28 teams desperate to get AD (who don't have the ownership questions that we do) and the Pelicans have the ultimate say anyways. We likely just don't have the pieces they're looking for. But regardless of reality, I'm sure Canzano and some delusional fans will think Olshey is just completely incompetent when it doesn't happen.

    And without wading through 18 pages of bullshit, has anyone presented an idea in which we would be able to outbid the entire league AND somehow end up a better team than we are currently?

    Yes. CJ, Zach, and a first (and/or Simons)

    Let’s hear all the better offers.

    I wonder if NOLA would take Leonard for Davis. Hey, I can dream, can't I.
