If the Nets get KCP Lin doesn't make sense on their roster, to me. They don't have to move him, but if they can get a pick I don't see why they'd say no
I'd probably go with either Gerald as my top targets. Need guys who can play SF and aren't undersized. Henderson is borderline undersized.
Mozgov and Asik would be a hard pill to swallow. Lin probably not worth the 1st. with the West so brutal that 1st is looking like a lotto pick. May as well keep it and just sell Boogie on the 'one piece away' story.
It'd probably be Ajinca + QPon + 1st for Lin - 2018 1st isn't worth anything to sell to Boogie but Lin in this offense is
Maybe? Lin is a known quantity and while thats reassuring in the short term its problematic long term. We resign Boogie then next offseason we have to resign Lin. At some point you have to balance the roster with some cheap deal on players who can produce a bit, like, lotto picks!
I wouldn't be sad if we traded for Lin, but I'm not convinced its enough to make playoffs either. West is so hard and injuries will end up being a factor and thats anyones guess.
I agree. I don't believe Jeremy Lin moves the needle for us. If we're not going to make a trade for an Eric Bledsoe or Jae Crowder then we should have gave real consideration to going after Rudy Gay or Tim Hardaway, Jr.

I wouldn't mind Green and Lawson on the cheap. They're gonna be bottom of the bench guys so I wouldn't pay them a lot, say league min or slightly above. As for Lin never really been a big fan

Interesting bit of news from MM.
Incorrect-- Dell pulled the offer
— Pelicans Podcaster (@SilverAndMac) July 7, 2017
Because it would have limited other moves he likes better as possibilities. Gentry didn't agree

Wow. The next move(s) better be a damn ground rule double at worst
Lol, freaking dell.
Seriously. Swaggy is no All Star, but to pass on him because it would limit our other moves...this next move better be something impressive.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Ok, wow isn't the point to get what the coach wants. He better have something better

If we can clear cap, I would give KCP 4 year $80M
Didn't Dell and Monty clash? Now it's with Gentry
Gonna tweet a few things that will build up to something...

People are frustrated with the Pels being quiet on the FA front, but @42PhD has done an excellent job explaining why for @BourbonStShots
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
He has killed it this week. Check out the site for what he has written. And @MasonGinsberg has a good post on the Holiday signing and cap
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
I spoke to some people with the Pelicans and the general sense I get is they don't see themselves above the 7th seed in the West currently
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
Given their cap situation, they don't see anyone they can sign which really raises that ceiling. Nice pieces sure, but nothing changes much
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
They are working behind the scenes to improve this team in some way. They know they have to.
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it inst happening. Doesn't mean it will work out, either.
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
But they see it as the best way to raise their (realistic/expected) ceiling.
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
If they thought any of these free agents (that they can afford, don't forget that) would improve them over other options they'd try and sign
— Jake Madison (@NOLAJake) July 7, 2017
But have trade targets they think will improve the team by much more. So, that's what they are trying to do first.

until i see a move in the future,,,i dont believe dell pulled the nick young offer......im going with young signed with GS because of KD and green recruiting him for a chance to win a ring and him giving GS 4 of the top 9 players in effective FG pct on catch and shoot plays last season and the offense they run will help nick 3pt pct and FG pct over all this season to get him a bigger contract next year from someone with money to throw......
Based on what? Silverandmac?Didn't Dell and Monty clash? Now it's with Gentry
I like how teams are over spending. They are gonna have to move some good players to get under the cap and we can be that team. Stanley Johnson in Detroit would be someone I'd like to target along with Mudiay and Lyles in Denver. As you can see there isn't many older players I want. lol
I don't believe Madison nor MM. MM "reported" that Dell has been after Swaggy and Jamal Crawford for years and all of the sudden he pulls on the deal with Swaggy and hasn't made a play for Crawford. Also, when has Dell not been conservative and gamble as well as not locking up a good shooter who can play multiple positions (which is what Dell has said he wanted this season). Either he has bad sources or he's full of BS. My guess is a bit of both. Madison has been speaking this trade thing for about a week and nothing has happened.
Free agent Raymond Felton agrees to one-year deal with Oklahoma City Thunder, league sources tell ESPN.
— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) July 7, 2017
We couldn't have gotten low enough below the cap to do alot without renouncing Jrue. We had a cap hold of over $16 million on him.
We'll see. MM has been saying that the moves we make this weekend will make us a sure fire playoff team in all the pundits eyes. He said he was so confident that he put $1000 on the Pels to make playoffs. Now he is floating Reggie Jackson as a potential target. That certainly is not a needle mover, but more of a desperation move if that were to happen.
For freaking sakes, Dell. Effing do something.
