Not 'might' more like 'will'

[UNO Gracias]

Sì Dios quiere.

[JunkHead]

Man, This trade deadline might be quite active. It's probably a good thign this thread is more or less sticking to Pelicans Talk. If we were posting every little rumor or tidbit, it'd be 20 pages by now.:P

ESPN sources say Wolves and Nets have discussed deal to send Thad Young to Brooklyn in exchange for KG ... who of course has no-trade clause

— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) February 19, 2015

This would be beautiful.

[HornetGuru]

wtf thad for kg? something else is up.

[Eman5805]

Eeeeeeeeeh. Strangely even. Only team that really could object is Phoenix. Go from losing Dragic to losing Dragic AND Isaiah Thomas.

[Sleeper]

No way am I trading Evans and Anderson for Dragic, who could be a one year rental. I would not even trade Evans for Dragic straight up, because Dragic likely will not re-sign here next year unless we trade Holiday. My best Dragic trade that works on NBA trade machine is listed below

Pelicans get
PG G. Dragic (expiring)
SG G. Green (expiring)
SG Z. Dragic
SF R. Bullock
PF B. Wright (expiring)

Suns get
PF R. Anderson
SG E. Gordon
SG J. Fredette

Lineups with the trade:

Pelicans
PG G. Dragic, T. Evans, J. Holiday (Likely Out for Season)
SG G. Green, Q. Pondexter, Z. Dragic
SF D. Cunningham, L. Babbit, R. Bullock, J. Salmons
PF A. Davis, B. Wright
C O. Asik, A. Ajinca, J. Withey

Suns
PG E. Bledsoe, I. Thomas, T. Ennis
SG E. Gordon, A. Goodwin, J. Fredette
SF P. J. Tucker, Marcus Morris, T. J. Warren
PF Markieff Morris, R. Anderson
C A. Len, M. Plumlee

Even if Dragic doesn't re-sign next year, we get rid of Gordon, which will give us cap room in the offseason to make moves. I don't believe Anderson is a must have player for a championship team. He is too inconsistent and not a complete player.

That's actually a pretty good trade assuming we just call it a season and feel confident that we can at least get another core player(presumably a SF) in free agency.

don't get me excited

[wuggie]

Something in the wind(or...someone???) is telling me that this team may not make a move....If I'm right I'd better get my own hotline. Wuggie's Psychic Sports Advice...or a just an e-fistbump would do.

[pelicanchamp]

Maybe no move would be the best move. I hope Douglas can produce and we get another team first hustle player and improve team chemistry even more.

Ryan Anderson seems to be the best player for the PELS to trade because teams would prefer him to Gordon. We don't need Anderson.

I'm 90% sure nothing happens at all. And like 8% sure that if something does happen, it won't be significant, like a trade of the big 6, or the "healthy" big 2. Or something that brings in an instant starter.

I've felt that all year. The trade to move Rivers and get Q-Pon was as good as we could've hoped for. We'll eventually sign Toney Douglas to a contract for the rest of the season, and focus on getting everyone healthy and see what kinda run happens.

[DroopyDawg]

Any move we make its gonna be so small that it won't be worth mentioning. But I don't expect anything.

[al m337]

Any word on if we are getting Lebron or KD?

Think we're gonna make a push for michael jordan. SOURCES tell me we're gonna trade AD

Latest word on Reggie Jackson (and stuff) to Brooklyn for Brook Lopez: "Close but not done"

— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) February 19, 2015

Yahoo Sources: Minnesota, Philly could be included to expand Brooklyn-OKC deal w/ Garnett to Wolves, Thad Young to Nets. Among many parts.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) February 19, 2015

[Topdawg26]

OKC would be nasty if they get Lopez.

[Asteptooslow]

He'd fit in real well here with the rest of our injured players.

Afflalo to the Blazers per woj

[JunkHead]

Blazers will send Will Barton, Victor Claver, a future lottery protected 1st and a second-round pick to Denver for Afflalo and Alonzo Gee.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) February 19, 2015

Thomas Robinson goes to the Nuggets too, source tells Yahoo.

Also, good morning.

[Caffeinedisastr]

He'd fit in real well here with the rest of our injured players.

My thoughts exactly.

Chris Broussard: Source says Miami offering two future 1st round picks for Dragic....but as of now, Sarver still being stubborn Twitter @Chris_Broussard - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.82Pp8A8Y.dpuf

Just when you thought Portland bench couldn't get thinner.
IMO they gave up too much.

[big_peli]

just dump EG for Dragii.

G Dragic / Jrue / Jimmer
Jrue / Z.Dragic / Jimmer

With this backcourt we're in playoffs; Suns are not.
