Davis trade to Denver

Post #1 » by **NuggetsWY** » Sun Jul 31, 2016 10:28 pm

Theoretical --- Davis -for- Nurkic + Faried + Gallinari + Barton + Memphis 2017 first round

Some Denver folk might think that's a little high but Davis is certainly worth it.

What do you think?

This isn't even remotely close for Davis.

Davis's eyebrow looks like pelicans wings. He cannot be traded.

I think Denver folk are very sheltered.

If you want a less laughable no, it would have to be Jokic, Nurkic, Mudiay, Murray, and 2 firsts. And surprise surprise still a no.

Actually, my offer was based on the fact that everyone else seems to want to trade for Nuggets players. I'm not surprised the Pelicans say no. I thought I'd toss it out there because of the postings on the Pelicans board where they were talking about Davis will want to leave. Carmelo Anthony forced his way out of Denver. Davis just might do it to New Orleans.

Davis is under contract for 4 years. Why would NO want your mediocre trash?

Maybe because that so-call mediocre trash beat your precious Pelicans

A Bulls fan posted that. :-?

Oops, didn't look - but the way the Pelican fans responded on their wall, it sounded just like them - maybe he's a transplant? :lol:

I know that they have different laws for weed in Colorado, but that's not "a little high," that's straight-up, John Denver Rocky Mountain High!

I like Nurkic as a foundational piece for this trade (of course, I'm a sucker for Central/Eastern/Southern European players). The rest doesn't do anything for me when it comes to a guy like Davis. You'll need to send at minimum a couple more first round picks

Sorry, not interested. The Pelican fans on their board and one over here convinced me that I'm not interested in engaging in conversation with them. I do appreciate your reasonable response though. I day ago, I would have agreed with you. Have a nice day.

Oh yeah, the NuggetsWY - indicates WY where weed is still illegal and besides, I haven't smoked any since the early 1970s.

I appreciate your response and I'm sorry that the conversation didn't work out in a positive way for you. I was trying to be a little light-hearted with my reply.

I was actually concerned that using a John Denver reference might go over some younger poster's heads! :lol:

I've spent some time in Wyoming. Rawlins for a little bit and Green River more recently. I've been all along that lower 1/3 of the state. Someday I'll have to venture farther north!

I caught the "light-hearted" John Denver reference. As you surmised, I'm not a youngster. :nod:

Rawlins & Green River and that area can be very nice. I'm actually over in Cheyenne, but I've traveled almost every inch of Wyoming and just love it here. We actually used to live in the Denver area, but when I became (Please Use More Appropriate Word) (or just before that), we decided to move to a more rural area. We are close enough to enjoy the benefits but we live on a dirt road outside of Cheyenne. What a great life!

What the Pelicans idiots don't seem to realize is that nobody with a player that matches Davis is going to trade their star for Davis and basically, all they have is Davis. Trading for several starters/decent bench players is the only way they are going to make the playoffs, unless they are willing to follow Denver's lead and patiently build through the draft. Not trading for Davis, isn't a bad thing for Denver. I think we're still a couple years away from needing to worry about gathering a couple of all-stars, but it doesn't hurt to consider one now and frankly, Davis is about the only serious talent that is even remotely available. Denver can offer multiple players and multiple picks (and only a few players would be off-limits).

But I do understand why they wouldn't want to trade Davis. It's sorta' like Houston and Harden. I'm not a Harden fan, but with his scoring ability, it would be very hard to let him go without getting some serious talent back - but what team will make that trade?

Didn't the Pelicans make the playoffs in 2015?

Who do you consider serious talent, because you talk, and value Davis like he's just all-star worthy. But saying he's the only serious talent remotely available says otherwise. Butler, Westbrook, Blake and DMC aren't serious talents?

Also which players match Davis? Why would we want to trade Davis exactly? And why would we be looking for another player exactly like Davis when we already have Davis? Why would we want to follow Denver's model, so that in 5 years from now, after trading Davis, we can start looking for another Davis?

I'm confused, but it's probably because I'm a Pelicans idiot.

Had a bunch of other comments, but I had to delete them. I'm curious if all Nuggets fans think like you.

Stars get traded...seldom when young and with plenty of contract left. Were the Pels to consider a deal....I doubt they look to Denver. Denver isn't better and won't have the headliner it would take. Then.....how would Davis feel about whatever trade? By the time Denver pays big.. there's nothing much left. He's still on a team battling for an 8 seed.

While I DOUBT the Pels at this point would discuss anything... if a guy like Cousins or B Griffin was on the table... that at least gets you to look at the details. Later... when Free Agency is closer.. that's different.

This is a pretty good package for Davis even though I don't know why New Orleans would ever want to trade him. This gives the team a lot of depth with two potential 6xth man coming off the bench and a 1st round pick.

Rotation looks like this...

PG Holiday, Evans
SG Hield, Evans, Barton
SF Gallinari, Barton, Evans
PF Faried, Jones
C Nurkic, Asik

I'm actually interested in what it would take to get Davis from y'all. He's an incredible talent when healthy.

What if Jazz offered:
Derrick Favors (extended)
Rodney Hood
Trey Lyles
Raul Neto
And two 1st round picks of your choosing.

Where does that get us?
