    User error. Left off Ingram. But we'd definitely be getting him from Lakers in the deal.



    (Half the time I'm doing two other things while replying here on a 3rd screen! This will also be my excuse if the Boston trade happens with Ainge throwing in every asset he has! "I was distracted during all of my posts!)

    If this falls apart it is on Lakers not us. Rich Paul knows this! Stephen A Smith knows it

    That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

    Apparently so.

    Typically when I read the phrase "realistic" trade I assume the person has a basic understanding of the actual rules of how trades work. Otherwise it doesn't seem too realistic to me.

    I’m a Griff fan but to be fair, his Phoenix teams were mostly in tact when he took over and Cleveland had LBJ fall in his lap. He is far from the infallible hero some make him out to be. He’s a great hire though and I’m glad we got him.

    Also, the longer Griff waits, the more opportunities AD has to sabotage trades. He needs to stop going for the whale and possibly settle for a shark

    The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.

    ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.

    GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding

    These words should not be used lightly

    We've been hearing this same doom and gloom for 4 months now. If waiting 4 months didn't sabotage a trade another week isn't going to.

    AD and RP have been saying the same stuff for months. It hasn't changed. What else can he do to sabotage a trade?

    *scene cuts to AD driving down the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge doing 120mph sipping from a frozen daiquiri
    BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.

    BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.

    That’s frowned upon?

    He can refuse to go play for said team. Lesser players have done it. FWIW, I don’t think he’ll do that

    Not realistic.

  15. #2590
    I'm really confused by how much ''he can refuse to play'' comes up, like it's some common tactic players just use all the time.

    How often do players really just refuse to get on court and play? Especially huge stars? Pretty much never. Hell, AD was trying hard to force US to play him this season, and he DEFINITELY doesn't wanna play here.
    Basketball.

    Naw, that's not true...you need to either give to or receive from the other parties, you don't have to do both.

    I’ve said this several times. D Harper was traded from New York to Utah. He refused to go. No physical. He didn’t even fly to Utah. THe deal was cancelled. D fisher said we would never play there when he was traded and he was bought out. There is a nuclear option if AD chooses to use it. I don’t think he will

    What exactly is Fish getting at? Is he wanting to trade Jrue?

    Are you talking about 37 year old Fisher agreeing to a buyout from Houston so that he did not have to play there? Harper did not want to go to Utah, so the trade was not made (only because the Mavs owner promised him he would not trade him without his consent). These examples are not relevant.

    It shouldn’t shock anyone if AD says he won’t show. They will do any and everything to get to LA. The flip side is Adam Silver will rock their world if they try it.

    He's not going to do that.

    Remember: he was trying to FORCE his way onto the team to play FOR US, THIS YEAR.

    Literally the same team he was trying to force a trade from! In the same year! And he still wanted to play. He's given us no reason to think he'll just sit a year out. He doesn't want to sit out. He wants to play basketball.

    Although I would not be shocked if a final deal looked like that, I doubt this guy, with 5,000 followers, has the real scoop.
