From tweeting with Kushner I get the feeling he has heard rumors about something like this. I tried to get him to give up some info but of course, he wouldn't.
It sounds like the Knicks are trying to call the shots. How the hell does that work? They should have ZERO leverage in this.Originally Posted by Mythrol
The two teams making the trade work calls the shots. That's Phoenix and New Orleans.
That said, Ryno to New Orleans would have me extremely pissed.
Our local guy Kushner is saying we want a impact Guard. Mike Ortiz is saying Ryan Anderson will be thrown on us. Who to believe?Or are they separate deals
I believe Kushner 100%. Dude is solid. If he says something it's legit.Our local guy Kushner is saying we want a impact Guard. Mike Ortiz is saying Ryan Anderson will be thrown on us. Who to believe?
For all we know the guy leaking this stuff is some shill for New York or Houston to try and leverage more assets. Thanks for tweeting he info so Kushner could say, "see stuff is happening" but I don't believe the details until Kushner or one of the big guys report it.
I will NOT be a happy camper!
Being serious here, but what does Mike Ortiz have to his name? First time I heard of this guy. At least Kushner has connections within the team and is legit. Siding with Kushner until further notice.Our local guy Kushner is saying we want a impact Guard. Mike Ortiz is saying Ryan Anderson will be thrown on us. Who to believe?
Besides, we don't need another high paid big man. We already have two elite ones. We need a guard or a wing. preferably someone who can shoot.
We certainly didn't become part of this deal to get Anderson. This ORTIZ guy must realize that all we have to do is "Just say NO" & we are gone !
Yup I'm leaning towards Kushner. Trying to read in between the lines of the other guy's tweet to connect the dots with what Kushner threw out there
Both Pelicans and Suns are now in the trade heavy. Melo going to Houston is a given only if Pelicans and Suns make it work. We want an impact Guard. Knicks don't want Anderson's contract. Anderson has to go to Phoenix. We want an impact Guard. Phoenix has them. Now it's a matter of what does Phoenix get for giving away one of their PG's and taking on Anderson's contract at the same time
Well, the Reggie Jackson rumor involved entirely separate pieces, so you could have both things going on.Our local guy Kushner is saying we want a impact Guard. Mike Ortiz is saying Ryan Anderson will be thrown on us. Who to believe?
And really, if you made both moves at the grand cost of Moore, Ajinca, and Asik, how could that possibly be a bad thing?
Suddenly the Twin Towers become a Big Three, and the Big Three become a Fab Five:
Demarcus Cousins
Anthony Davis
Ryan Anderson
Jrue Holiday
Reggie Jackson
and while those are not my favorite names, they are a talented group of names. Perhaps Dell rather unoriginally recreating his same awkward framework before the Ryno/Reke/Gordon thing fell apart, but now adding a sparkling new Boogie on top. Lot of firepower there. Be nights when that group could score 100pts just between the 5 of them.
Tiger Droppings folks talking WWL promoting Ryno to N.O. This is not good.
There has to be some honesty too, at least unless Dell is an idiot, Bledsoe isn't just a "talented guard". He's a Kentucky dude who's a close friend of Boogie, who has talked for years about how they get together in the summer and try to figure out ways they could end up playing together. Getting Bledsoe would be about trying to ensure Boogie's return next year as much as his guard skills.
I wouldn't mind that lineup at all in the short term. Only concern would be does it affect Boogie re-signing and what would our cap be in general going forward the next few seasons
Sn I started checking out everyone's beloved McNamara's tweets and he's saying we're involved mainly just to unload Asik, but who else in the 3/4 team trade benefits from that alone even with a first included? We go from hearing about no moves to now a lot of wonder and back & forth uncertainty
Ryno would be best served staying in Houston as their 3pt shooter, too bad they signed him to such a trash contract where they can't afford to keep him AND make the necessary changes to their roster.
I would like to see Ryno back here, if just to hear him talk about his year studying abroad.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Listen guys, we either need to forget about MM or accept him as a made man. There is no other way.
Reggie
Jrue
Ryno

Cousins
If thats our lineup then either:
A. Davis would have to defend the other teams sf and ryno defend the pf.
B. Ryno is firepower off the bench to pair with crawford and hill remains our starting sf.
Either way, our team would be better.
Diff "insiders " reporting something different on twitter. Our offseason is looking hectic all of a sudden. Can't remember one being as crucial and crazy as this one just within the last 24 hours
think we figured out why the random Reggie Jackson trade rumor came out yesterday
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin

2 2nd's go to the Knicks from the Pels and Houston.

That's a 60 win team
Lol that would be amazing for us
I don't see how Bledsoe fits with the Knicks. They drafted a young Frank Ntilikina to be the future PG. They were initially looking for a veteran PG to hold the spot down like a Ramon Sessions or Rondo for cheap. Theyre supposedly trying to tank for SF Michael Porter Jr. Getting Bledsoe makes them do the opposite of tanking. Getting Bledsoe requires them to give up what it takes to get Porter in the draft. Bledsoe can play the 2, but they already have Hardaway and Lee. It's pointless for the Knicks to get him. Just another leak for the Suns to price gauge
When was the last time 12 players were involved in a trade?
This also works in the trade machine if we have to accept Ryan Anderson...
NO gets Bledsoe and Anderson
PHX gets Asik, Ajinca, Cook, and NO 2018 top 3 protected 1st round pick
NYK gets Moore, Ariza, Pondexter, and Toupane
HOU gets Anthony
Pels lineup after trade...
PG: Bledsoe/Lawson (signed with BAE)/Jackson
SG: Holiday/Crawford/Young
SF: Hill/Diallo (I think he is athletic enough to play the 3)/Miller
PF: Davis/Anderson
C: Cousins/Vet min center
Not what I wanted to hearPelicans Podcaster @SilverAndMac ยท 2h Pels interest in entering Melo trade is much more about offloading Asik than it is about adding a guy
