6,1,6,1 + 6,1, [Repeat]

6,1,6,7,1 6,1,6,7,1??? Maybe?

42 Maybe? Ajinca

That's how we got Ajinca.

I think this is the answer: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=kvkbern

My reasoning?

TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat

6+1, 6+1 + 6+1= 21 * 2=

42= Kevin Love


At top because most important move.

Blank Blank Blank, Blank Blank = 3 in, 2 out?


US Senator= Rubio

Warren Moon= 1= Shved

Elway= 7= Lin

Nothing= Gordon (nothing lost)

Double Jet Li= 11= Jrue Holiday

Babe Ruth= 3= Asik

---

We wouldn't do that. Think smaller, MM mentioned either on here or twitter that it wasn't going to be anything major.

I do too! But I can't see them giving up Beverley when they need a PG if they move Lin. He's just on too good of a contract.

Audioout, Thanks for post and welcome. That's a good effort, but I don't think we would make that trade. Houston simply gets too good of a deal out of it. They dump Asik and Lin, give up nothing else, and land Love. no way that happens. I also don't think we'd do it when we already have Tyreke on the team. Taking back two PG's wouldn't really fit. But stick around and keep posting.

Yeah I definitely agree. Your's seems much more likely. Even if it's not 100% it's gotta be a pretty close variation.

Also I agree, keep posting Audioout... I like the effort, coming up with that trade, especially one that works with salary regulations!

I do believe the first part is 42 and why separate that from the rest and place it above and first?

Also, "blank blank blank, blank blank" to me does indicate this amount of players moving.

Trying to figure out which team is part of the the three team deal is the hardest part. Rubio seems obvious to me which would mean Timberwolves are the team to watch. Looking at the other clues and looking at jersey numbers. It fits for the most part.

Could be why we aren't hearing anything about a Love trade...pending on what happens with Lebron and Cleveland offer. Either way, you get Asik anyways as Houston makes deals to make cap space.

I mean, I wasn't expecting to be right on my first post ever. Would have been kind of legendary.

if the five pelicans players are Ajinca, Eli, Aminu, Miller, and Roberts, then maybe the blank just means 3 of them go to the bucks, and 2 of them go to the rockets.

I think replace Babbitt with Roberts but I agree.

Bucks out- Middleton, Second
Bucks in- Lin, Rivers, NOP First
Receive a starting PG and Back up pg so Knight can play his natural positions at the 2 and OJ as the back up while getting a first round pick

Hou out- Asik
Hou in- ELy, Babbit, Ajinca, Bucks second
Hou gets cap to go after Bosh or sign Deng or Ariza to replace Parson and gets a back up to Dwight with Ajinca

Pels out- ELy, Babbit, Ajinca, first , rivers
Pels in- Asik, Middleton
Clears cap to get Asik and get a small forward.

Haha indeed would be legendary. I just don't think this will be that big of a trade as MM said. But I was wondering the same thing about the separate line. I also doubt we'd do that trade as currently constructed, but I guess we'll see what happens. Your guess is as good as mine.

I'm only basing it off of what everyone together came up with. But I will say this, if that's the rough idea of the trade, I am extremely happy with it. We keep our exceptions and get Asik without having to give up anyone really. If we had went back a week I was certain Rivers was gone. So this is great.

This one seems a little simpler because there isn't any sign and trade going on. Did you use MM's message or just do a deal that makes sense, because this one is definitely possible.

Agree completely. Allows us to hopefully bring Morrow back or sign someone else we have been targeting ... Like it a lot.

Just don't see it. Houston has to already gut their team to offer Bosh a contract that isn't even max. I can't imagine they take on guaranteed money in Ajinca.

Wouldn't mind that trade. Who's got advanced statistics on Middleton defensively?

Unfortunately, Houston isn't going to take back ANY salary unless it nets them a max player. Any salary that comes back AT ALL, takes them out of the Bosh pursuit. But if they strike out on Bosh....maybe so.

Well, if it's him I can't see any of the pieces fitting. They don't have the cap to absorb our players, much less Lin. It might be, but the trade got a lot more complicated if it is them.

They wave Ely and Babbit but keep Ajinca, his contract is so cheap it wouldn't effect the deal. Even if they do go after Bosh they still need to get a bench.

I love you guys. This thread made my night.

Can't stop laughing. Like watching Will Hunting at work

mopping floors? :D

Sadly it does effect them. His slightly over 1M comes directly off the top of Bosh's contract. They already are dumping everyone outside of Harden, Howard, cap hold on Jones, cap hold on Parsons, cap hold on Beverley. And even doing this only gets them NEAR the max offer for Bosh. I can't see them willing to accept anything.

I take this as the highest complement! Lol

If Milwaukee is indeed involved, I could envision "nothing" being Gordon, "Elway" being Ilyasova, and "double nothing" being Mayo....quite a reach, huh?

Hey I'm all for dumping Gordon. This trade would be a lot bigger than what we are expecting though. I think we have to assume it's going to be a basic trade to be able to keep our exceptions and still get Asik.

I'll tell you what I'd love. Since we are trading with the Bucks, I'd like to get in on some of that Damien Ingles action. I have no idea what we could possibly give other than a bunch of money for him to be included, but I'd love to get him.

So is MM really gone because of lack of appreciation? Because (he ignored this last time I said this too) I sent him a PM a while back saying thanks for the hard work and apologizing for being a egghead on occasion. Met with 0 response. I guess he can pick and choose his thanks.... Or perhaps he just wants public praise or attention. I dunno. But I said there and I'll say it here so he can get his panties out of a bunch that I appreciate the work all of the BSS guys do. Thanks

I agree they are basically the only guys who cover this team that know's what they are talking about.

I was thinking more a beautiful mind with Russell Crowe, but does that make you a figment of everyone else's imagination? :huh:

Sad to see you go, hoping you'll stay on the Podcasts though, and I would still take you against a grizzly bear, though I'd have an ambulance on standby, just in case.

Have y'all heard about that show called The Misery? It's on ESPN and it's kind of like that show called The Decision years ago starring Lebron James. The Misery has a great cast starring Eric Gordon, Dell Demps, Monty, The city of Phoenix, and David f$;king Stern. Yes this is absolutely real. It's about mistakes and more mistakes and fragile items with little value and the existential dread of losing meaning while life passes you by. It's about wasting the lives of others. It's about a man named Dealer Dell who is trying to do the impossible: sell a defective overpriced piece of work.

I don't think he was referring as much to the core PR group (if at all...notice he's still here), but to his twitter following.

I really hadn't been on twitter much today, so I decided to look at his check out his page not too long ago to see what the fuss was. It was pretty bad. Basically just a lot of panic despite the BSS insider info tag line to just "wait till Sunday." Fletcher started it with his typical shock-jocking "OMG WHY DID WE DRAFT RIVERS IF WE'RE JUST GONNA TRADE HIMMMM?? WHAT TO DO WITH SF?? WILL RYNO GET MINS?? OH NOEZ!!" and being completely uninformed with the false narrative that Tyreke was a failure as a 6th man (BTW, it's really sad that the Pelicans bloggers are way more knowledgeable and in-tune than the media guys like Fletch and Jimmy Smith who are PAID to cover the team). Got worse once the news of PJ Tucker came out...but his breaking point was probably with this guy:

@McNamara247 Be a good reporter and hide in Lebron's wastebasket or Dell's garden and find something new out instead of BSing.

So I can definitely understand his fatigue. There really are a lot of idiots in twitter land. Go to YouTube and look up Jimmy Kimmel Show Mean Tweets...features celebs and NBA players reading rude fan tweets. The segments are funny but at the same time you see how ruthless people are behind a computer/phone screen to people they don't even know.

Wait what? MM please at least stay on this board! You have no idea (well i suppose you do at that) of the number of incorrect informations people throw around when you're not here. Think about the cba, and about us as well

I think a lot of people go at him because of the BSS site and that alot of us rely on him and the site for our insite. So when someone can challenge him or call him out on his opinion they do. He does a lot to properly inform us and some of us need to back off a little he is on our side.

Even thogh some people seem to not appreciate what you do a lot of people do, so am I! Im living in germany, have to watch pelicans games in the middle of the night or the next day on league pass an I love to listen to the In the NO Podcast! So I understand that a lot of stuff is annoying, especially when you are not even getting paid for this, but if you would disappear, that would be a huge loss for a lot of pelican fans! Please stay with us MM!

Deleting Twitter might be a good first step, but here at PelicansReport we need a residential CBA expert to help curb all the unrealistic trade ideas. Your insight is irreplaceable though it's obviously your decision whether you stay or leave. But know that the vast majority of us here very much appreciate the knowledge you bring to the forum.

Here in Brazil as well!

Stay man! Every day a thousand people overlook what we do, but the few ones that really care and appreciate every little thing we do are the ones that really matter. To "quit" is to give it up to those that really aren't worth the effort. Don't do that!

A true compliment is worth much more than a million fake ones or foolish criticism! The ones that are elated by your effort and work, both here and in BSS are ones you should focus, to the others, like we say here in Brazil, comes through one ear and goes through the other.

And by what we do, I meant witchever work we put on something, not that I contribute to the forum or the site!

This puzzle has been very fun. I suck at these things though. I also don't want MM to leave. But I would understand needing a break for a while. I don't blame him.

Completely missed all this action last night and what happened with MM.

I do not always agree with you and I'm sure we have gotten into it before, but please stay. At the end of the day the real fans appreciate what you do. I'm not in your position so it's not fair of me to just say ignore the idiots, but there are a lot of people that get it and would miss the info/perspective you bring.

TD, XP, TD, XP + TD, XP, Repeat

US Senator, Warren Moon Blank Blank Blank, Blank Blank Elway Nothing Double Jet Li Babe Ruth

SO,

First line = Ajinca
US senator ... Rubio..Sessions..or ROBERTS (there is a Rivers but she is a Washington State senator, not US)
Warren Moon is Houston
Blank Blank Blank ... Ely, Babbitt, ?
Blank Blank ?
Elway Denver
Nothing double is Darrell Auther
Jet Li is our 1st round pick from the original trade
and I guess the Babe is Asik

SO my best guess goes something like this?

Pels in Asik, Auther (buy out?)
Pels out Ajinca, Ely, Babbitt, Roberts, #1 (it reads like we keep the 1 but I can't see how unless it is returned for taking Auther)

Denver in Roberts, Ajinca, and #1 for helping
Denver out Auther

Houston out Asik
Houston in Babbit, Ely, filer ??

Hey I gave it a shot

Dude MM, come on now, silent majority.

Soo why is everyone even believing MM post? Does he has some inside news to know about future trades? Maybe he just pulling our legs with trolling to show how sensitive this time can be. Why should we believe his DA Vinci post?
