Say Michael Jordan made us the same offer that the Golden State Warriors did in 1993 and offered us the number two pick and three future first round picks for Anthony Davis. Would you take it and would would you take with the second pick?
I know you love Anthony Davis but....

Are these 3 future 1sts unprotected?
-
05-31-2013, 01:22 PMDroopyDawg
Man no 2 or 3 players in this or next year's draft is worth giving up AD. Wait good question... are they unprotected? lol.

if they offered this years 2nd, and 3 more 1st round picks unprotected, which will be top 5 picks because they are doomed to suck forever i think i might have too...
-
05-31-2013, 01:36 PMHornetGuru
next year with our pick and their pick u could possibly land andrew wiggins or jabari parker to play SF and randle to play PF. plus u have 6 more first round picks in the next 3 years, ya i would have to do it, sorry.
-
05-31-2013, 01:39 PMHornetGuru
u would also be able to take otto porter and trey burke this year.

I'd be scared to be involved with anything Michael Jordan (as an owner or GM) has anything to do with. With our luck, those future drafts will be the most suckingest in NBA history. :hihi:

Unless something has changed, you can't trade 1st round picks in back to back years, or this fantasy trade is even more fantasy.

05-31-2013, 01:59 PMFlyGirlI think they did but they got them from different teams. The teams that traded a first round pick this season can't do it again next season. At least that's what I think GeauxPelicans means. If Charlotte wanted to give us first round picks they won't be able to do it in consecutive years. I think.Quote:

So you(Guru) want to trade A.D. for a bunch of draft picks?
-
05-31-2013, 02:07 PMbradael
Only if the team would have concerns about Davis's durability going forward as he puts on weight.
Otherwise... no. I believe Davis will be the best big man in the league by the time he's 23... probably even sooner. I don't think anyone will be even close except maybe Dwight Howard. Davis's teams will dominate the league during his prime so long as he has another all star caliber player on his team.
Getting future picks doesn't guarantee anything. This draft class is weak. Next year's is supposed to be strong... but so what? Shabazz was supposed to be this superstar and look what happened. There's no guarantee Wiggins or Parker will be that great in college once they play against better competition... and then there's no guarantee the team would even get the #1-3 picks... especially when it's coming from a team that has a non-rookie Anthony Davis on their roster. There's a decent chance the Hornets would only get one, if any, lottery picks beyond this season. -
05-31-2013, 02:08 PMda ThRONe
I would but then again I don't think Davis is a superstar. Anybody who doesn't agree with my opinion answer has to be no. Superstars are worth any three players. Not to mention there's no guarantees we win the 1st pick next year.
-
05-31-2013, 02:10 PMFlyGirl
Well we already know you would. You'd trade Davis for a bag of Funyuns.
-
05-31-2013, 02:12 PMda ThRONe
I don't really care for Funyuns like that.
-
05-31-2013, 02:15 PMSnarly
Considering Davis would improve their team immensely, why in the world would anyone think those picks would be worthwhile? The biggest need for Charlotte is in the front court. You'd think Walker, Henderson, MKG, Davis, and Biyombo would make them competitive for the 8th playoffs spot.
-
05-31-2013, 02:16 PMbradael
Especially in the East. They could make it with a losing record.
You just don't trade players like this unless you think there are character or durability concerns. -
05-31-2013, 02:22 PMMonsterMashNot a chance. You collect lottery picks in the hope that you win one and land a prospect like Davis.Quote:

05-31-2013, 02:23 PMMonsterMashFair response. You do it easily for any non-superstar prospect. If you don't think Davis' upside is there then you flip him. We just disagree on his upside.Quote:

Wow, Y'all really do want to trade A.D. I remember when San Antonio fans were saying the same thing one year after drafting Duncan. I think Davis will be an all-star very soon.
-
05-31-2013, 02:47 PMKurganIf porter blows his knee, higgins becomes a coke addict (as in cocaine) and we draft the next julian wright? I'd rather keep a sure thing than hope to draft the next jordan or what. Shabazz should have put the world on fire this past year and yet? He's just the last of a long line of potential busts (some without the "potential" part).Quote:

I wouldn't trade him for anything. He has the potential to be the most dominant player in the game at some point in his career, and you just don't trade that.
-
05-31-2013, 03:21 PMMr. West
Man no. Davis is the franchise, he is our rebuild, trading him so we can hope Charlotte sucks and we can rebuild through that is ludicrous.
-

Thank you Nolaslim and Mr. West for putting some sanity back in to this thread.:thumbup:
-
05-31-2013, 04:45 PMluckymanWhat if another team offers you something similar again next year? Is this team to play the role of the crack addict franchise always chasing the lottery pick high? When does it end?Quote:

Never. I wouldn't trade AD for anything other than Lebron. In five years I expect Davis to be a top 5 player in this league.
