Thoughts on the Pelicans?


Pels need a PG. can’t trust Murray to come back fully. I’d be taking KJ if I were them. Trading up to get Coward with later pick too.

I would have traded Zion long time ago. He’s holding them hostage.

Utah sends Collins
SAs sends Vassell and a future first.

Spurs get off Vassell’s deal and bring back a PFF small ball 5.
Jazz get a player to include in other trades and a future pick.


Zero desire to be on the hook for $105MM for the 244th EPM ranked player.

Given the relationship between Stevens and Ainge, this information on Brown to Utah might just be to drum up value for a Brown trade elsewhere.

NAW, Randle and Naz should be UFA. And probably, it wil be very expensive to keep them all.

Its amostras certain that NAZ will reject his PO. Randle must reject, but he can pick it.

If Fears is there at 7, pick him and don't look back.

See what Brooklyn would offer to move up from #8 to secure a guy--maybe you could squeeze out #27? Probably just #36 but worth the try.

Good prospects will be available at #7 and #23.

Certainly possible. I've wanted Brown on the Jazz for nine years so I'd love it if it were true, even though some of my fellow fans would (vehemently) disagree.

My good sir, the implication in that accusation is just beyond. I am horrified anyone could even contemplate something so untoward.

I know the Hawks have coveted Brown and he's from Atlanta.

I wonder if they are actually most likely to trade for him. They have been active. Would probably need to be for Trae.

League sources have said for weeks the Pelicans are one of the most active teams looking to trade up, with the belief being that Bailey is their target. https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/draft/

If Tre is gone and Bailey is there at 5, the Jazz should consider a trading down for value with NOP.

You know Ainge will try to leverage value from someone for Ace. Washington might get him cheap being one pick back -seconds and/or that 2020 GS top 20 protected first.
NO or brk might make interesting offers.

Edit. lol. Four posts about cha auctioning ace while I was typing.

Funny thing is I think brk can use them.
Cha might as cheap depth.

your Pacers are on the board picking up pick 38. Will it hold? 8-)

Kind of seems similar to the “trading for 31 before the draft” and then packaging that with Aaron Holiday to move up to 22 to take Isaiah Jackson, huh?
