LOL, there needs to be a sarcasm font on this forum. I was actually disagreeing with you. I don't think Wall re-signing with Washington is a deal breaker for Boogie remaining with the Pels but we gotta at least get in the playoffs and play well for him to consider re-signing.

That's the key to everything. We need to make the playoffs. So I think we should be trying (not saying their not) as hard as possible to add more good talent to this roster. We are kinda strapped for assets and money but I'm sure something is possible. And I believe there is at least one more move on the horizon.

Can you let us start the season before making wild trade ideas.

1. what wild trade ideas did I make? And to which teams?
2. When did I say that we needed to trade Boogie NOW? For all you know, I could've meant after the season and before the trade deadline. ALL I stated was I was in favor of the side of fans who wants to trade him, which I am entitled to do.

When I said "now" I didn't mean trade Cousins RIGHT NOW

I meant "now" as in "now, I am on this side"

Not knowing the ins and outs of the NBA, can trades take place at any time up until the trade deadline next year? Can Melo still end up in Houston this summer and we somehow be involved or has that window closed? Seems like a lot of movement this summer or maybe I've just been paying more attention.

Yup, trading season is open. Free to make moves all off-season and into the regular season.

Just out of morbid curiosity, what would our best possible Kyrie package be? Jrue, Diallo, Moore, '18 1st, '19 pick swap, '20 first for Irving and Shumpert?
07-22-2017, 10:21 AM
pawel

Jrue and Rondo can be traded on Dec 15th at the earliest.
Like other FA. ..

I mean, it won't suprise me. Either way this whole situation is gonna screw Anthony Davis to leave us. So boogie staying or going is a crap shoot.

Haha I actually understood your sarcasm, kinda weird two folks didn't catch it.

Given the Wall's extension and the Wiz' current cap situation, it even increase the chance of retaining Boogie. The wiz are basically out of the race with no expiring and no cap space for next year.

So you wanna trade Boogie because one of his best friends signed a contract extension with another team? Even though he's said he's all in with the Pelicans, tried and did to recruit players to this team (Rando), and had a close relationship with AD. Not to mention the season didn't start and no one has an idea of what you have and how good they can be yet because they havent even played a preseason game together. It seems premature and overactive to me.

Hell. I'd even go out and say there is a better chance the Wiz collapse and trade Wall to rebuild than there is we lose Boogie.

On the most recent Nate Duncan podcast, Aaron Jackson (EuroLeague vet), called Darius Miller the best player in Germany last year.

Is that saying much? Or are the Germans actually really good?

Hey is Cunningham back? You know how the scroll images of current players on the roster on the Pelicans app? It shows Dante in a pic by himself.

His pic wasn't up there a couple of days ago

We don't have a roster spot, so I'd imagine a 2 for 1 trade or waiving a player would be the cue for Cunningham signing.

We can carry up to 20 in the offseason. Given that Toupane (and Cook) is non-guaranteed, we can create a spot if necessary. I do not think we have 15 guaranteed contracts yet.

Toupane has to be waived by the 25th or he is guaranteed right?

Did Brooklyn take on about $38 million in additional guaranteed contracts without Portland even including a pick? Wow! Portland is able to save a ton of cash (including tax) in that deal.

Afflalo signed with Orlando for 1 year...do you think the Pels made an offer? I find it hard to believe that if the Pels made an offer, he'd choose Orlando over New Orleans.

Jalen had a few nice moments in Summer League, if he can stick around with the team after training camp he might have a chance to get some minutes, hes a very interesting combination of size, skill and potential. Ceiling is probably around Dante Cunningham at this point.

It's about Dell having a truly epic offseason. Sweating and huffing and signing 12th to 15th men he's found under rocks every couple of weeks. Its thrilling to watch the man work. Now mind you, if the handful of talented NBA players on his roster don't stay healthy and bail him out it will be the last time you actually have the opportunity to watch him work. So you should really soak in the spectacle while you have the chance. He's going to make a top G-league GM one day.

Also he was reported signed by Minny in June

Switching on defense. Players that can defend multiple positions so we can simplify the defense to switch when defending the pick and roll. Getting positionally ambidextrous players is probably a smart move due to our lack of depth and focus on AD and Cousins as the point of attack.

Would you S&T E'Twaun Moore ($8.45mil 3 yrs) for Tony Allen? Allen remains unsigned.

Advantages: big confidence boost, captain of the defense, tough old pro
Disadvantages: can't shoot to really make that problem acute, and emphasis on old pro. 35 now, and maybe not quite same defender.
