I would take that deal in a heartbeat! I am starting to think that is the trade that will happen. I like Bledsoe better, but Linsanity would be nice addition.

If the Nets get KCP Lin doesn't make sense on their roster, to me. They don't have to move him, but if they can get a pick I don't see why they'd say no
Maybe? Lin is a known quantity and while thats reassuring in the short term its problematic long term. We resign Boogie then next offseason we have to resign Lin. At some point you have to balance the roster with some cheap deal on players who can produce a bit, like, lotto picks!
I wouldn't be sad if we traded for Lin, but I'm not convinced its enough to make playoffs either. West is so hard and injuries will end up being a factor and thats anyones guess.

Interesting bit of news from MM.
Incorrect-- Dell pulled the offer
— Pelicans Podcaster (@SilverAndMac) July 7, 2017
Because it would have limited other moves he likes better as possibilities. Gentry didn't agree
— Pelicans Podcaster (@SilverAndMac) July 7, 2017
Wow. The next move(s) better be a damn ground rule double at worst
If we can clear cap, I would give KCP 4 year $80M
Didn't Dell and Monty clash? Now it's with Gentry:hihi:
Gonna tweet a few things that will build up to something...

People are frustrated with the Pels being quiet on the FA front, but @42PhD has done an excellent job explaining why for @BourbonStShots
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
He has killed it this week. Check out the site for what he has written. And @MasonGinsberg has a good post on the Holiday signing and cap
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
I spoke to some people with the Pelicans and the general sense I get is they don't see themselves above the 7th seed in the West currently
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
Given their cap situation, they don't see anyone they can sign which really raises that ceiling. Nice pieces sure, but nothing changes much
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
They are working behind the scenes to improve this team in some way. They know they have to.
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it inst happening. Doesn't mean it will work out, either.
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
But they see it as the best way to raise their (realistic/expected) ceiling.
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
If they thought any of these free agents (that they can afford, don't forget that) would improve them over other options they'd try and sign
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
But have trade targets they think will improve the team by much more. So, that's what they are trying to do first.

until i see a move in the future,,,i dont believe dell pulled the nick young offer......im going with young signed with GS because of KD and green recruiting him for a chance to win a ring and him giving GS 4 of the top 9 players in effective FG pct on catch and shoot plays last season and the offense they run will help nick 3pt pct and FG pct over all this season to get him a bigger contract next year from someone with money to throw......
I like how teams are over spending. They are gonna have to move some good players to get under the cap and we can be that team. Stanley Johnson in Detroit would be someone I'd like to target along with Mudiay and Lyles in Denver. As you can see there isn't many older players I want. lol
I don't believe Madison nor MM. MM "reported" that Dell has been after Swaggy and Jamal Crawford for years and all of the sudden he pulls on the deal with Swaggy and hasn't made a play for Crawford. Also, when has Dell not been conservative and gamble as well as not locking up a good shooter who can play multiple positions (which is what Dell has said he wanted this season). Either he has bad sources or he's full of BS. My guess is a bit of both. Madison has been speaking this trade thing for about a week and nothing has happened.
Free agent Raymond Felton agrees to one-year deal with Oklahoma City Thunder, league sources tell ESPN.

We'll see. MM has been saying that the moves we make this weekend will make us a sure fire playoff team in all the pundits eyes. He said he was so confident that he put $1000 on the Pels to make playoffs. Now he is floating Reggie Jackson as a potential target. That certainly is not a needle mover, but more of a desperation move if that were to happen.
For freaking sakes, Dell. Effing do something.
