Fletch posted something similar. :help:

Fair 3-team NOLA/LA/DC deal in my opinion:

-Wizards: Lonzo, Ingram and pick 4
-Pelicans: Kuzma, Beal and pick 9
-Lakers: Anthony Davis

Will Washington deal Beal, rebuild? https://t.co/z9grjqp6SY

Elfrid gotta be resigned. Agree!

Fletcher seems to be lacking just like fan trades. It's almost as if he doesn't realize that for a multi team trade Washington would need to send something back to the Lakers and we'd need to send something to the Wizards as well. Cash, pick, player.

As a fellow Ragin Cajun Alumni....We definitely need him as a legit point guard. Our guard rotation would be legit!!

I look at it as basic parameters of the important pieces. You can usually move minimum guys/trash or bigger salary guys like Hill around to make it "work" on a technical level.

Just a thought, but can't Jrue guard the "3" on defense?? If so, we could have Payton, Beal, & Jrue in the line up closing games out with Williamson and Wood. Would be extremely fast and athletic group.

That should tell you how the calculation came out.

Those people were also either fired or are no longer in charge of making basketball decisions.

The one dude who supposedly wanted the Lakers deal - Gentry - is still in his same gig.

This was the killshot.

It's over.

Time of death of that argument was.....the clock is really weird on this site.

ehhh, I would substitute Garland with Payton. Call me a gambling man. If we are gonna go offense. Get me the most gifted shooter in the draft.

Garland
Beal
Jrue
Zion
????

Supposedly we trying to get Bradley Beal with the Lakers trade. This might not be liked by the Jrue fans, but I would do this trade:

Lakers: AD

Wizards: Jrue Holiday & #4 pick

Pels: Bradley Beal, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart, & #9 pick to select Jaxson Hayes. I would try to get Troy Brown Jr from the Wizards as well.

C: Hayes, Okafor
PF: Zion, Kuzma
SF: Ingram, Brown
SG: Beal, Hart
PG: Ball

That way we can sign Ingram in a year and Ball in two years. We also get our starting center in the talented Jaxson Hayes.

It's gotten awfully quiet after the choas of yesterday.


Maybe LA finally fix their plumbing situation.

So ...because a front office that was either more comfortable making football decisions, or on the verge of being fired, wasn't empowered to do a deal to begin with, has been universally shat on by Pelicans fans, NBA fans, commissioners, agents, and former players... didn't make a trade, that means it was smart not to make a trade?

yep, uh... this comes across as brilliant.

David Griffin said we should wait before he was even hired.

Lonzo/4 to Pacers
Sabonis/Holiday/Ingram/18 to Pelicans
AD to Lakers

Draft Tyler Hero, or best shooter available, at 18.

Is that good enough for Griff?

Holiday x2 in the backcourt
Ingram on the wing
Zion/Sabonis front court

Or do this:

Lakers: AD, Antonio Blakeney, future Wizards 2nd rounder

Wizards: #4 pick, Kyle Kuzma, Solo Hill, Etwaun Moore, & future Bulls 2nd rounder.

Pels: Bradley Beal, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Kris Dunn & the #7 pick to take either Culver, Reddish, or Hayes depending on whose there. I would try to get Moritz Wagner to be our backup center as well. I would also try to get the Lakers 2021 1st rounder as well.

Bulls: Lonzo Ball, Pels 57th pick, cash from the Wizards.

That’s a pretty complicated trade, but it could work.

C:
PF: Zion
SF: Ingram, Culver or Reddish
SG: Beal, Hart
PG: Jrue, Dunn

I’d take that team for sure even though we would need a center over whoever we take at 7. But either Culver or Reddish would be better than reaching for Hayes at 7. That way we don’t have to resign Ingram if we don’t want to.

I didn't think it was possible, but your Pels roster suggestions are even worse than your Saints suggestions.

David Griffin also praised Brandon Ingram. Gave JR Smith and Tristin Thompson huge contracts. And was part of the front office that drafted Anthony Bennett #1 overall.

Let me know when ya'll decide if David Griffin is infallible or not.


*** Also, dude who might have interest in Pels job suggesting the Pels should wait to make a big decision is not motivated by self interest at all. And we're sure it wasn't.

The thread is supposed to be about AD trade scenarios, not what we could've done at the deadline. Maybe we should also go further back and talk about picking someone else instead of Austin Rivers. That seems like a good use of time.

it really doesn't matter bc those specific 2 will still go into any thread with the same bs

I'm happy to give you less to read. As I've said, I wouldn't change a thing about what we did. Nuance is lost on a message board, as expected.

Wow so this is really happening? Now we are shopping Holiday?

What are Pels getting from Lakers in this deal? Would prefer Turner to Sabonis if given the choice.
