Great trade for new yorkt

Great trade for new yorkt

And Toronto wanted a minimum of 3-4 1st and a young player last year.

On the other hand, bad trade for Toronto! Sort of. I like Quickly and Barrett doesn't completely suck, but as PelicansFan pointed out, they should have sold when the value was way higher.

Good morning. Here is a roadmap for how I think the Pelicans are going to approach the trade deadline.https://t.co/Kaag3owk0N pic.twitter.com/PpDN87aJEV

That was an amazing offensive possession. The ball was moving quickly, we got up 3 different good looks and missed them but got 3 offensive rebounds and finally a dunk. They are working out there

[WhyHornetsWhy]

Would y'all trade:

Larry + Naji + 2 1st round picks for Lauri Markkanen?

Not saying that this trade will happen like this straight up.

But if another team is involved in a 3 way trade, then maybe something could be worked out.

Utah isn't taking that. Not nearly enough.

Agree. Saw this, which is interesting-

I threw this out on the Pistons Pulse podcast on the fly today...

-DET created a $5.7M TPE in today's trade

-NOP is $2.9M over the luxury tax

-Kira Lewis Jr. makes $5.7M on his expiring deal

-If DET clears a roster spot, could they take in Lewis via the TPE and recoup a 2nd?

Do we even have a 2nd round pick? I know we traded a lot of it with the graham trade.

I would throw in Herb too then.

Blasphemy!

[markid]

Kira went to the Raptors
Looks like a trade to avoid Tax.

Take care Kira

I hope he finds a role somewhere.

[As I See It]

For the young man, he couldn't go to a worse team. Toronto already gives minutes to Quickley, Barnes, Schroder, and Trent in the backcourt and now Bruce Brown and Kira will be fighting for what's left. Hopefully, Toronto isn't through dealing for Kira's sake.

[PaKwAn]

It's kira for haliburton right?

[Blattman]

I'm disapointed by this trade mostly because I feel there could be quality role players in the second round in this draft.

[mriguy]

I think we got the lesser of the 2024 2nd rounders back in this trade. Between our 2nd rounder and Chicago's. If so, not bad considering this trade saved us 18 million.

Keep dreaming!

[Pelicanidae]

Farewell to Kira Lewis. He never really did much of anything for the Pels, but then, he wasn't given the best luck or situation either. Hopefully he's better elsewhere than he was here and has a good career.

We all knew a tax move was coming, many speculated it would be a Kira thing, but now we know for sure.

Will the Pelicans do anything else, or just stand with what they've got? Find out next time on Dragonball Z.

Hard to justify keeping Val if you don't have him signed to an extension. Letting him walk for zero compensation is malpractice. I understand his value and what he brings to the team in terms of toughness and culture, but if we value that get him signed. If, on the other hand, the front office views him as a slow, throw back in the pivot who doesn't fit the modern game and doesn't figure in our plans beyond this season, then you deal him before the deadline.

Deal him for what? How much is his expiring contract worth, because if it's not something that makes the team better it's not worth ruining our chances in the post season this year.

It's a tough situation. We've actually got several decisions to make, which is rare for us - usually we're scrambling for anyone playable to fill huge roster gaps.

Val and Naji are the obvious question marks. Both expiring, both probably due a pay raise in the summer. Either one getting a significant bump in pay will make us a tax team. Probably comes down to picking one.

Unless you can package them both to make a blockbuster trade, but that's unlikely.

Not sure Val gets a significant jump in salary at 32. Naji will get a raise. If we do not make a bigger deal, would not be surprised to see him dealt for a couple of 2nds.
