Official Speculation Thread Part 1 (Summer League 2014)

[Def Swami]

Elfrid Payton says CP3 is his current NBA idol. Makes sense since he grew up during the CP3 era in New Orleans. It's rare to find pass first PG's these days so it wouldn't surprise me if CP3 had that kind of influence on Elfrid.

I wonder if we have enough trade pieces to go after Andrew Wiggins or Roy Hibbert!

Pacers could use a wing in Harris and Vucevic/ other players for Roy Hibbert big contract! (best thing is he could be a FA by 2016)

Wiggins would be a dream as I would trade any other player but Oladipo and Payton!

Why the hell would we want Hibbert, let alone for Vucevic? Vuc is better in every way except defense, and he's 4 years younger. Obviously defense is important, and Hibbert is the better defender, but I'd still take Vuc.

As far as Wiggins go, it's not going to happen. The Love deal is going to happen and the Timberwolves are not going to want to trade Wiggins. Let's just say though we would be willing to make a ridiculous offer to get him, you better believe the T-Wolves would be asking for players like Oladipo and Payton back. I know people think Wiggins is going to be like the next best thing, but personally I think our guys are going to be pretty damn good too, and I don't want to trade them.

Dat tattoo...

Always thought that was just a fleur-de-lis, not a straight up Hornet logo. Not the smartest move in the world. I mean not only are they the Pelicans now, but the Hornets name is back with Charlotte, where it belongs. I guess Payton was a big CP3 and Hornet fan though, so I guess it makes sense. Just probably was the brightest idea for a tattoo though. lol

Roy is a beast! He needs more touches, just thought his 2014 playoff performance was poor but his upside is still crazy...

Roy is a decent big man! He needs less touches, just thought his entire 2014 season was awful but his upside is still decent...

Fixed.
