0%. Because if there is any chance of it, they wont do it
Makes sense. Couldn?t think of any examples of that happening. Read on TD that Hollinger mentioned Liddell could just wait till after trade deadline and get paid same amount then as he could today out of MLE, like you said. He mentioned that Orlando did that with Okeke I think
2, 5, 3, 1, in that order.
I wouldn?t do #4 at all. I don?t see how Plumlee gives us anything different than Hernangomez, and Hayes is more valuable to me than an expiring Plumlee.
I will bet against him going to jail. Regardless of what ‘should’ happen, we have seen time and time again that if a person has money and resources, they won’t go to jail for this. The woke will always paint the picture as people of color get held responsible while white people go free. The truth is that the poor ones go to jail and the rich ones go free. Not a question of if he plays in the NBA again. Question is when
Yeah, you missed the point entirely. Read again
#4....zion, nance,,billy, plumlee, and val is good by me at the 4 and the 5....
3, then 1, then 4 in my book.
3 and it's not even close. I kinda dig 1 also. But 3 is the only one that seriously moves the needle now. Thats what a trade at this juncture should aim for.
It's a lot about rep (reputation). By that I mean not just the three's he's gonna shoot and make, but for all the ones he already has.
When we signed the geriatric version of Peja Stojachovich to play along side CP3; Peja would be standing by the concessions and his man still wouldn't leave off of him to help.
With him and CJ spotting up I think Brandon and Zion would seriously slice people up
Looking at scenario's 3 and 4, which I consider to would move the needle more than the other 3; are you suggesting that the 2026 pick swap is more valuable than the 2024 lotto protected 1st?
Or is Bojan more difficult to get than Beasley?
I would have ranked in value:
1. Beasley
2. Bojan
3. McDermott
4. Kelly
5. Plumlee
Bojan should/does have more value around the league. Maybe you like Beasley better and maybe he fits better. But all price is driven by demand and Bojan will cost more to get than Beasley due to number of competitors for eachs services
The X factor I would like to know is: How do most players feel about the Pelicans chances of being a legit contender? Because you look at a guy like Galinari - who was willing to go to a legit contender and come off the bench, and play whatever role they wanted. He wouldnt do that for the Bulls, for instance - a team that will likely make the playoffs but everyone knows cant possibly contend.
Bogdanovic would probably be happy to be traded to the Clippers, knowing he will come off the bench and might have some nights he plays under 20 mins. I am curious if we are sign around the league closer to the Bulls or the Clippers. If its the former, I dont think you get a truly engaged, all bought in BB. And all the guys currently on the team are 120% bought in. Its not worth messing with that for a mercenary, one year talent upgrade. But maybe some guys see the Pels as some fans do - a team that was playing at a 45-50 win pace at the end of the year, adding an All NBA caliber player. If so, then I would be more into the Bogdanovic trade, as I think most of our fans are overrating our bench - because they are likeable guys, but not necessarily actually impactful basketball players
Would've liked to get Markannen in that Cavs-Jazz trade. Seems like Jazz/Ainge probably keep Lauri as a good tank 2nd option scoring option. Still a possibility, can still be immediately be re-traded as the only outgoing player. Hayes + Graham + 1st. Or, Hayes + Kira + Temple + 1st
No thanks on Markannen. Griff could have gotten him for Lonzo (who he disliked) and he passed. No defense, doesnt get to the line, rebounds like a guard even though he is 7 feet tall. Only been an above average shooter 1 out of 5 seasons. And you get to pay him 52 mil over the next three years to give you that.
This team has enough offensive first players, I dont want another. The only guy I would be really excited to get off of Utah is Vanderbilt
Obviously, the Pels have plenty of O & their main problem is a lack of D. Pels need to find another "Herb" or at least somebody that is 50% of Herb on the defensive end... to become a serious contender to win the West. Hopefully, DD can become that player.
By the way, I think the Pels will do all they can this season...to determine just exactly WHAT...Herb can offer them on the offensive end. I remain quite optimistic that they will be extremely happy...with what they find.
No chance
