Pelicans Trade Deadline Rumor Mill Thread

[Hornets247 Staff]

With the NBA trade deadline only 3 days away, we have officially reached the dreaded “speculation mode.” From now until 2 PM central time on Thursday, lots of ideas will be thrown around with varying degrees of legitimacy (though frequently skewed towards the improbable side). That being said, if a rumor comes from any source with merit, this is where you can find it.
Have a trade idea to propose? Post it on our Facebook Page. We’ll take those that we deem most realistic and analyze them in a separate post later this week (which we’ll also link to here), as well as cite you for the idea. We highly recommend using the*NBA Trade Machine*(and then write in any draft picks exchanged if necessary).*Let’s see what ya got!

Let's put all Pelicans' and related trade deadline rumors in here for ease of use (as other thread has run its course).

Marc Stein reported the pelicans officailly received 4.5 M for DPE so I guess now we can a move I guess!?!?!?!

[504ByrdGang]

Can confirm NBA has notified teams that New Orleans has received a $4.15M disabled-player exception for Ryan Anderson. Expires March 10.

I wouldnt read into it that much. They had to apply for it about 2 months ago. It's just another piece we can use, but i wouldnt say anything is immenent.

If we want to use it via trade, we have to obviously use it by tomorrow. Otherwise, I have to wonder if we will even use it. The only other chance I can see is with a player that gets bought out after the trade deadline.

I mean it's just another asset we can use. Like you said, we may not even use it. Just adds more options to the table. I'd say chances are we won't even use it.

I think there's a very good chance of us using it if Jordan Hill to the Nets doesn't go through.

I just read we werent even in the running for Hill .. all speculation regardless.

What would we even have to send for Hill? We have nada.

The disabled player exception.

[IamQuailman]

The disabled player exception.

That's what I'm saying. We only have that. Didn't someone post that we can't package that with something else for a trade? Basically we could just use this to trade cash relief to a team for the player?

Maybe I misunderstood

I read that too... I think MM posted it but I could be wrong... but I know SOMEBODY said it.

We can't package it with something else for a trade but we can trade the money we received from it. Jordan hills salary is 3 mill. Lakers are just trying to get his salary off their books, Nets also have a disabled player exception they are trying to trade for hill but they will have to pay 17 mill in lux tax penalty if they do that.

Hehe

Big Baby back to La. I know Davis isn't a real center -- but he's tough! I think he'd be interesting next to AD23 http://t.co/9DK9dSTDcm

Go home Fletch... you're drunk (again).

[WhoDatPelican]

I honestly don't understand how Fletch has a job...

Let's get rid of two one-year deals for an extra year of Big Baby!

The Rockets want to acquire Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, according to sources familiar with Houston's thinking. ESPN.com - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.yukIygCH.dpuf

If Rockets get Rondo that would be scary

[Eman5805]

They're still counting on Howard and Harden, two wishywashy personalities to lead them to the endgame. And Rondo isn't a very likable individual.

It'll grab my attention, but not my concern.

[JJackisangry]

Asik for Rondo would be exceptional for them. I don't see Boston doing it if only bc they are rebuilding. Maybe they add a first or something to the deal?

[Username]

They're trying to get Chandler Parsons

Bobcats want Morrow... would you want Biyombo, Zeller and/or McRoberts in return?

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-...anthony-morrow

Morrow's a lot more reasonable of a target. The Pelicans need inside help and the Bobcats can offer Bismack Biyombo, Cody Zeller, or Josh McRoberts. They need shooters and Morrow is definitely that.

Yes. It saves the Lakers 7.5M for a player Mike d doesn't really like.
