To make room for Anderson, is my understanding.
Hopefully tonight it Gordan's last game as a Pelican, but I'm not holding my breath. I just hope he survives tonight injury free.
Dude you can't go that deep into a trade. The trade was a 1st rd pick for bayless who didn't last a month. Makes it a bad trade. So then we traded jack for the rights to edin bavcic. Ok so that pick wound up being Tobias Harris. That doesn't matter cause we could also say let's look at all the players after him we could of got such as Kenneth faired, jimmy butler, Reggie Jackson, Jordan Hamilton, chandler parsons, the fact is that it was a bad trade no matter how u slice the pie.

Oftentimes, one move is made to make room for another one. This is why a lot of fans have a hard time understanding some trades and deals. Not all trades are made for IMMEDIATE impact. This is why a GM's job is never done. Building and managing a roster can't possibly easy.
Also, when Dell traded a 2nd round pick for Brad Miller and 2 second round picks from Minnesota. Then he turns around and trades Jerom Dyson and Brad Miller to Suns and 2 second round picks back to Minnesota for Lopez and Warrick.
That's just sick business, imo.
I think Gordon is here through the season at least. Hopefully he plays injury free solid ball the rest of the year.
Hay we agree lol. Maybe he can drop a 30+ bomb to help out the cause.
Ok but where is any of that right now?
You HAVE to go that deep into all trades.... One move sets up the next. That's the job of a GM.
Tyreke Evans.
He turned Jerome Dyson, Brad Miller, 2 second round picks, Pondexter, and Lopez into Tyreke Evans and Jeff Withey. I like it. Only 1 of those players Dell traded is actually valuable and it's Lopez.
That was a fantastic trade IMO. Lopez was a bargain for this team. However, he gave him away for nothing in order to pay Evans. That is why I think Evans needs to be a home run for him. He created a big hole at the 5 to overpay for a player at a position that we already had covered with Gordon (and thus far, has not been able to move Gordon).
So it was planned all along to trade our 1st rd pick for bayless so we could flip him for jack?? If u believe that I have some ocean side property in Idaho I'd like u to buy.
The greatest irony of the season will that Eric Gordon will be the healthiest Pelican of them all.
The New Wave of Pelican Power!
Exactyly. If you have to go that deep into trades then that move isn't any good right now caus Lopez isn't even here anymore. Evans is so he needs to be a home run as u said for any of that to matter. Can't have it both ways.
No it wasn't in the plans, but really how far can you predict in the NBA? Seriously. Like 1 week in advance at the most? If you want to grade microtransactions, go ahead. I'll continue to look at the big picture like I always do.
Wrong. Our $$$ got Evans. Lopez was just a pawn to facilitate the trade.
Not wrong. Without Lopez and Vasquez, the Kings match.
The big picture looks bright due to 1 thing. ANTHONY DAVIS. Without him the future is bleak at best. He is saving a few jobs right now. The point is the Gordon resigning isn't the only bad move he's made like u said. After a few bad signings died he compensate for them by making other moves? In a way yes but it was still a bad move to begin with. Like I said that '1st rd pick he traded could of been chandler parsons, Kenneth faired, jimmy butler n a couple others. Instead it ended up being Jarrett jack who was pretty much let go for nothing.
Wasn't Lopez sent for the cap space? To Portland?
I agree with u 100% on another thing I see u said too. At some point this dam coach has to be held accountable for not getting the job done. U said the players too but the players accountability falls back to the gm cause he put them here.
Could have been, but if Dell si as bad as you say, do you have confidence he picks any of those players?
Also, I'm not ready to judge the Tyreke signing and Jrue in entirity. In the early stages, I like what I see, but I'm not in anyway calling it a failure like some think it is.
You keep going back to that 1 first round pick. Plus if you think those players ar so good, they could of changed our draft pick for AD, the only bright spot according to you. A transaction reaches farther than the initial level. It lives on for years and years, and it should be judged as so.

Could have been. It's not definite though. I need everyone to remember, it takes two. Sometimes 3. We can't just sit up here and say, oh, we could've had this guy and that guy. You HAVE to have a partner. Just because we don't have those guys doesn't mean Dell never inquired about any of them.
This almost reminds me of when we don't hear our names in trade rumors and we always assume it's because the GM isn't doing anything and he's just sitting on his hands, just because we don't hear about it. And then BOOM.
Vasquez went to Kings, Lopez went to Portland to clear room, and we got Tyreke and Withey in return.
3-team trade homie.
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/94...ording-sourcesThe trade -- which can't be officially completed until July 10 -- will send Evans to the Pelicans via sign-and-trade, with Sacramento receiving guard Greivis Vasquez from the Pelicans and Portland acquiring New Orleans center Robin Lopez.
