Given that in order to bring him back it would mean the Pels having to give up one of their current gruesome contracts in exchange, that doesn't seem terribly reasonable. Omer Asik = "meh", but Ryan Anderson = "I quit"?

This is the new world of crazed NBA contracts. JJ Redick signed for $23mil. Pity poor Memphis and the remaining $80 mil owed to Chandler Parsons, who scored like 6ppg last year on 35% shooting.

Anderson has a fugly deal, but his limited game is one that has an obvious synergy with the Pels structure going forward. Have a twin towers set? One of the very first complements should be finding how volume 3pt shooters to create space fro them.

Clever suggestion given the old Stan Van Gundy connection.

Not that I think that's that clear a win in the end given the questions about Reggie, but still, it's an interesting thought. Let's just hope Stan doesn't think of it himself and decide to cut out the middle man and send Reggie to New York.

Probably easier to get Detroit in the original deal. Anderson had a crap playoffs and we all know his defense is horrid but the dude rains down 3's when hes on and Boogie & AD play most of the game one on one off, so Anderson as the 3rd big could still play 24ish mins a game. I'd honestly take it if it meant losing Asik and Moore and keeping our pick.

Actually same here. I dont want Anderson on this team with his fadeaways. I really wanted him to leave and he would be back but with one of the worst contracts in the history of the game?

Asik only has 35mil or sth left on that contract and it can be streched. I prefer Asik's contract than Anderson's

I would love that trade.

I honestly don't think we can get into that deal without losing our pick. I certainly hope that the pick and Diallo are off the table for now but as it has been said several times getting Asik offbook without trading the pick is next to impossible.
To be honest though, I have no idea what's the floor for NY's management. Those guys can certainly do crazy things (see Hardaway)

P.S : As I've said earlier. We don't have many assets which should have value to NY management eyes and those are not ones we put on the line for that trade.

I keep thinking that if we are involved, it would be to get Lee. Maybe some form of something like this-

with a pick or picks going to the Suns (from Houston).

Why is Anderson coming up? Because of WWL? When the hell have they ever known anything about anything?

I would rather take Eric G....

God, my bowels almost shot back up through my mouth for trying to type that sentence.

He's funny on twitter. He likes to put out little teases, but when it becomes clear that he either does not know anything or is simply guessing, he starts with his condescending remarks about people need to wait until the season to see the roster, or that they should go outside or should have something better to do with their lives than worry about Pelicans trades.

Make this trade, Demps!

I would be happy with any of those 3 lol

Also, I know this is ridiculous, but I just felt like posting this. If it's been posted already just ignore it.

*Add picks accordingly

I thought Phoenix was shedding salary? Maybe they aren't. Otherwise why would they take Ryno?

Because when Ryno was here, his nickname was the Flamethrower. The Sun is basically a big ball of fire.

Fire.... Flames... Makes perfect sense.

So this is going to be one of those refreshy days, eh?

Other teams may actually still value Ryno. I know my misguided Rocket fan friends dig him.

good point. Plus, Ryno was 25yrs old when he went out indefinitely with season ending neck surgery..... aaaand, the Falcons blew a 25pt lead in the Superbowl.

Phoenix made it clear they will take on contracts for picks. They want to tank.
