If Gordon isn't the one traded this offseason is a bust and Demps should be fired. And I love Demps.

What if no one would take Gordon unless we also gave them Ryan Anderson?

There has to be 2 teams that agree on a deal.

That all depends on who is on the floor for the Pelicans and the opponent. Young will not see significant minutes his first year anyway. Withey even played the 4 in short spurts on occasion last year. We would still have a roster spot to bring on a pure 4 or a swing 3/4 if needed (6 front liners on the roster would not be unusual).

Again, if Ajinca's contract is needed to make the trade for Asik work, none of this matters as obviously Asik is much more important than Ajinca. However, if there were a way to keep him, that would be my preference. Young 7'2" centers who actually show some promise do not grow on trees.

I agree. I would rather keep Ajinca than not if we don't have to sacrifice anyone else. But of all the possible guys/assets to sacrifice (Ajinca, Rivers, Withey, Bird Rights, BAE, MLE), Ajinca would be the first one I chose to move by quite a bit

So I assume that until we hear of a move of some type to free up some money the Asik trade is not complete and thus dead in the water...???...

I'd imagine that the trade to free up space will coincide with the Asik trade. They may even be merged into a single, mult-team transaction.

It's not dead. It's already agreed upon. It will go through.

Man, I can't wait until this is over.

Houston, we have a problem?

Sorry if already posted, no time to search threads.

Remember when the Houston Rockets had reportedly agreed to a trade that would send center Omer Asik to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for a first-round pick?

Well, it appears as though things are about to get very complicated.

"Now, that set of transactions leaves New Orleans $102,228 shy of having enough room for the trade."

If MM is to be believed, which I have no reason to doubt, it hasn't messed up our moves. They just won't be announced until the 13th.

I'm just wondering why not announce now if it's a done deal. Unless, Dell is trying to the last minute to move Roberts/Smith instead of Rivers.

for anyone worried about the Asik trade after some article popped up today saying there were issues w/ it on the Pels side after the official salary cap was announced...

The news may break beforehand, but rest assured the Asik to #Pelicans move will go down right after the clock strikes midnight on the 13th.

For his sake I hope he is right. Everyone watching how this Sheridan thing is playing out is tragic.

He is. And this will prove it.

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

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

Will make sense on Monday.

Mason is not looking for attention. Like everyone on our site, he is just trying to help. For free, mind you. Unlike Sheridan, we don't have ads being shoved down your throats. We have had several chances to make a quick buck. Don't do it.

So, if you talk to Mason, say thank you. All that is needed.

Tell Mason thank you on my behalf, and I hope he is right.

There is nothing to "hope" about. But I will tell him.

Looking back at it, I can't help but laugh.

But it will make sense. I promise.

Had to make something that couldn't be decoded. But you guys got 48+ hours if you are up for the challenge!!
