sign hamilton
mle for jordan hill
pjax for quincy miller

Jrue/Rivers
Gordon/Tyreke
Hamilton/Quincy/Darius
AD/Ryno
Hill/Ajinca/Smith

good defense and scoring from the starters
great floor spacing for tyreke off the bench

I'd def roll with this team, in real life and 2k14 lol

If Lakers can trade Hill to Nets and force the Russian to put 17 mil. into pockets of other owners, Pelicans offer would have be a lot better than 2d rd pick and trade exemption. Money talks. Milk the Russian for all his questionably obtained cash!

lmao dude ur telling me...

good news is hamilton and hill are still gonna be free agents in the off-season :-)

Unless its a real beast of an inside presence - monroe =Pipedream - I'm not giving up any assets for another mediocre or unproven big with upside. I like the ones we have now fine. Bring me a 3 man.

Why the infatuation with Hamilton? I just don't see him as starter material or as solving the problem at SF.

I actually like him a lot in a 20-25 minute per game "starter" role. He is basically Aminu with the ability to knock down a three point shot. He has to be respected, at least - much like Babbitt. His numbers have taken a huge dip lately, as Shaw has really messed with the rotations, but when he was getting constant minutes early, he was rebounding at a high rate and shooting at a good rate as well. He doesn't get to the line at all, but to me, all we need on that first unit (if we bring Ryno and Reke off the bench) is a guy who can sit behind that 3-pt line that teams actually have to respect, and a guy who can rebound. Hamilton can do both.

I also think people like him because he will likely cost half what someone like Ariza will, and might even cost less than Aminu did this year. It is a value buy love, not a love based on him being some great player.

Oh yeah:) good pic

The Magic are taking/making calls on Afflalo and Nelson. What do you think it would take to pry Affalo away from them?

I would not mind at all, if we somehow trade Gordon, then get a decent SF, I would love it

I very rarely try these much less 3 way trades but I think this would benefit all teams involved:

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=kerk5xm
(Add us sending a future 1st to Magic)

Pelicans: Get a great shooter in the starting lineup on a good contract. Nelson has a team option for next year, would essentially be a FA after this season and give up 8mil in cap space

Magic: Small drop off at the SG spot but still get a serviceable option there. Morrow gives them shooting at the 2 on a good deal. Rivers gives them potential (They could groom him to be a PG). Also they get 8mil in cap space with that expiring.

Bucks: They get out from Mayo's contract. Yes I know it's funny to use the phrase "get out of x's contract" when they are getting Gordon in return, but Mayo's deal lasts 1 year longer than Gordon's (many on here are convinced he will opt out his last year). Also Gordon has shown this year he can stay healthy, and I also think he has the ability to get back to semi star level on another team where he is the #1 guy taking 16 shots a game and averaging 20-4-4

Afflalo would be such a good fit here.

Yep. This is exactly why I like him so much. If we don't make any big moves before the deadline, with our current cap issues, he would be perfect. His team didn't pick him up on his just over 1M/yr contract. We should be able to get him for 3M/yr or maybe less, have enough cap to sign another player, and then use the over cap MLE on someone.

Man. I keep reading Evans name mentioned as a player that we are trying to trade-

http://www.hoopsrumors.com/

I don't understand that for a couple of reasons. First, we just signed him. Second, we overpaid him to get him (to outprice the Kings and other teams), so it should be understood that his contract will be tough to unload. If true, it makes me wonder what Dell's plan is for this team. It seems as if he just wings it and if it doesn't work, move on to something else.

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=l29qq2m
(Send either this years 2nd or a future 1st)
Another trade with about 0.0000001%
Reasons:
Pelicans- Afflalo is a perfect fit for this team plus a young SF who IMO is miles better than Miller. We also get cap space.
Pistons- They get the shooting they need and a serviceable guard. Also, Josh Smith can play PF.
Magic- They get a nice, young big body. Big Baby has also been injured alot in the past 3 years. They also get a replacement SF and some of the shooting back with Morrow

New Orleans--as noted in today's primer--is working hard to offload either Eric Gordon or Tyreke Evans, rival execs say.

If he is a decent defender and comes at a reasonable price, I guess he is worth a shot. I just wonder why Denver would not pick up his option given how low it was.
