How about this...
Trade #6 and GV to Boston for Rondo
Sign Iggy, Goudelock
Sign Ryan Hollins or Robert Sacre
Resign Aminu, Lopez, Mason
Rondo/Rivers/Roberts
Gordon/Goudelock/Mason
Iggy/Aminu
Davis/Anderson/Smith
Lopez/Hollins or Sacre
That is easily a top 4 team in the West -

People are already saying Gordon is progressing nicely so far, so who knows, maybe he will be healthy. So with that in mind, id keep him to see if he can truly produce at the level we desire.
In the draft, I am torn between Len and Burke. Burke could be our next floor general. He has all of the skill sets to do well at an NBA level. He also has excellent shooting and great distributing skills. Another thing about him is his heart and desire. He plays with passion, hard work, and a positive attitude that will truly effect the pelicans. Now to Len. Len has arguably the most potential in this draft as a true 2 way player. He has a nice shot, but can also shot block. The problem is his ankle. Right now, I gotta go Burke.
In FA, go after Iggy and Hickson. Iggy provides lock down perimeter defense and great passing. Hickson provides nice depth and good post offense.
Dream offseason results:
Burke(if ready)/Vasquez(if TB is isn't ready)
Gordon/Rivers/Mason
Iggy/Aminu/Miller
Davis/Anderson
Lopez/Hickson/Smith -

06-20-2013, 08:16 AMTinmanHow the Heck will the #6, Gordon and Lopez for Cousins work ? You are looking at 25 million for Cousins ! NBA says "NO DEAL" Right !?Quote:

The NBA only vetoed the trade with the Lakers because they could. They owned the team. They have no say in any other trades unless it violates rules.
And salaries don't have the match exactly if teams can absorb it with salary cap space. -
06-20-2013, 08:29 AMPurple HazeI still wouldn't include our #6 if at all possible.Quote:

06-20-2013, 08:44 AMPELICANSFANLove Cousins the basketball player talent-wise. Hate Cousins the immature trouble maker. Do you think Demps and Williams would even consider bringing in such a head case to put with a young Davis? I don't think Williams has the patience to deal with him.Quote:

Brewer/Porter
Ryno/Blair
AD/Smith/Collins -

06-20-2013, 09:40 AMMichaelMcNamaraBrewer at least had stretches this year where he could hit the three. I also think Brewer has more versatility defensively, as he can guard 2's and 3's. I love Demarre, but I think he can only guard 3's.Quote:

I think something like this is their Plan C. I think they miss out on Plan's A (Iggy) and B (Pek) and get something like this. Hope I am wrong. -
06-20-2013, 09:47 AMPELICANSFANOh, OK. That seems more along the line of what they would do. I do not see them bothering with Cousins either. I am not a fan of Jennings at all, but it seems Demps is. Brewer at the right price could be a nice role player.Quote:

It's a really simple theory to explain. Whether you agree with it or not is another issue. The theory is:
I would rather have just one year left on a lease in a crappy apartment
vs
Three years left on my lease in a crappy apartment
Again, if you believe both apartments are crappy, the sooner you get out, the sooner you can move into somewhere nice. -
06-20-2013, 11:48 AMjsl05Wow that was a fail. Thanks for pointing it out.Quote:

My dream offseason:
Draft Ben McLemore as he falls.
4 team trade
Pelicans: Danny Granger, Moe Harkless, & Eric Bledsoe
Pacers: Eric Gordon
Magic: Greivis Vasquez, Lance Stephenson, & Caron Butler
Clippers: Arron Afflalo & Brian Roberts
Sign Al Jefferson & Martell Webster. We send Lopez to the Jazz just to get rid of him and make sure we get big Al.
C: Al Jefferson, Smith
PF: Davis, Anderson
SF: Granger, Harkless, Miller
SG: McLemore, Webster
PG: Bledsoe, Rivers -

noah is the absolute perfect center to put next to a.d. i absolutely could not agree more. he is my favorite center in basketball and his game would compliment ad perfectly. i think they may be more inclined to spend big bucks on a 1 or a 2 instead of iggy, despite his great d

That'd be awesome but there's no way in hell the Bulls let Noah go. I'd much rather trade them for Deng so that way you don't have to overpay for Iggy
-
06-22-2013, 03:15 AMHoustonPelicansI wouldn't trade a top 5 sg to the Bulls for anything less than Noah, we would be giving them the best backcourt in the leagueQuote:

With Burke and Rivers we can afford toto trade Gordon. I'm really high on Rivers, I think he will break out sometime in the middle of next season.Quote:
