What's the best offer New Orleans could get for Anthony Davis right now?

[brackdan70]

Tatum, LAL/SAC #1, MEM 2019 #1, LAC 2019 #1, BOS 2018 #1, Smart, Yabusele, expiring from DPE trade

Irving
Brown
Hayward
Davis
Horford

Rozier
Morris
Baynes
Theis
Ojeleye

This trade isn’t enough to make the money work. They’d have to add at least Morris and rozier.

he is assuming the Cs acquired someone with the DPE (6-8 million) before dec 8 and then move that player at the trade deadline as salary ballast in this deal.

Atlanta could offer 4 1st round picks - an unprotected 2018 Hawks 1st plus a 1-3 protected HOU 2018 1st plus a 1-14 protected MIN 2018 1st plus a 1-10 protected CLE 2019 1st.

Also, we could offer 3 expiring contracts ($18 million total - Dedmon/Belinelli/İlyasova), whom you should be able to flip for more picks.

[hege53190]

Bucks offer Middleton, Jabari, Bledsoe, Brogdon, Thon, Wilson and anything else that you might find valuable that is not named Giannis.

Because Giannis and AD for 4 years.

[Baddy Chuck]

The entire Milwaukee Bucks organization besides Giannis.

[rugbyrugger23]

Bucks Trade: Middleton + Parker + Henson
Bucks Receive: Cousins + Gibson + Aldrich

NOP Trade: Davis + Cousins + Allen + Cunningham
NOP Receive: Towns + Wiggins + Parker + Henson + 2018 OKC 1st

Wolves Trade: Towns + Wiggins + Gibson + Aldrich + 2018 OKC 1st
Wolves Receive: Davis + Middleton + Allen + Cunningham

Bucks gamble with an offensive big (Cousins) in their lineup. Worst case he bolts in offseason, but they would have cleaner cap over next 2 offseasons with huge 2019 offseason year before Giannis extension due (Tele, Gibson, Aldrich, Bledsoe all expiring and Delly a now a 1 year contract to be traded or stretched if needed).
Cousins | Maker | Aldrich
Gibson | Giannis | Tele
Giannis | Snell | Wilson
Snell | Brogdon | Terry
Bledsoe | Brogdon | Delly

NOP starts over with 7 years Towns, 6 years Wiggins, 5 years Parker locked in while they wait for all of their bad contracts to expire (Hill, Asik, Moore, Henson). Add in a tank'ish own 2018 plus other draft picks to build around new young core.
Asik or Henson | Towns | Ajinca
Towns | Parker | Henson
Parker | Hill | Miller
Wiggins | Moore | Clark
Holiday | Rondo | Nelson

Thibs gets all the D and vets he can ask for with plans to take down GSW.
Dieng | Davis | Patton
Davis | Bjelica | Cunningham
Middleton | Cunninghm | Bazz
Butler | Crawford | Allen
Teague | Jones | Crawford

WCF Matchup:
Dieng v. ZP
Davis v. Green
Butler or Middleton v. KD
Middleton or Butler v. Klay
Teague v. Curry -- this is the matchup GSW crushes Wolves. Thibs would throw vet Allen at Curry and even have Butler take him during crunch time.

In the summer
Smart (Sign for 12 mill) Brown Morris MEM pick LAL/SAC pick LAC pick BOS pick for AD

I can’t imagine NO would want Smart for thst much and the rest of the package is meh.

Tatum-Horford-LA pick sounds fair though.

Celtics should trade for whole NOP front court.

Tatum + Horford (or to 3rd team for assets) + Smart for Davis + Cousins

Celtics probably need to add every 1st they own, but one hell of a lineup.

That seems like an overpay for 5 months of Boogie. Henson is not quite the negative asset that he used to be. I wound't include him if you view him that way.

no, no it doesn't.

[jbk1234]

If I'm the Pelicans there's just no way I trade AD until after the lottery drawing. You have to know exactly what you're getting.

no, no it doesn't.

I am not sure it destroys them. However, what an outcome from years of asset accumulation by Ainge. A true Dynasty roster with the oldest star player being Hayward at 27 (Cousins too but few months younger than Hayward).

Brown and a high lottery pick is meh?

[Patsfan1081]

Most of these offers are either bad or really bad. If Celtics want Davis discussion starts with Tatum + lots of picks. If PHX wants Davis it takes everything in the warchest that isn't Booker. If Philly wants Davis it takes a healthy Fultz plus everything not Simmons and Embiid.

If anyone else wants Davis, sorry you can't afford the entry price.

That Pheonix package better contain a top three pick in the upcoming draft then, Jackson as the main piece coming back isn't very tempting at the moment. I'm not sure why Booker would be off the table either, he doesn't have near the same value as AD at the moment.

For AD? Absolutely. That package isn’t even as good as what was given up for Kyrie.

[Bentley1225]

As a starting point, the Pelicans are going to want a top 3 pick in this draft. They will likely want a starting SF and PF along with other picks.

Hayward + Morris, 2018 Lakers 1st, 2019 Memphis 1st, 2019 Clippers 1st,
for
Davis + Hill

Irving, Brown, Tatum, David & Horford would be a scary in EC.
Holliday, Hayward, Cousins would be a solid foundation to build around in N.O.

U think cousins staying in NO after trading Davis and Hayward being injured. No way

And Jazz fans would be absolutely tickled, and I️ think Cousins stays in NOP on the max, no team has room to offer it to him.

Before any AD trade, Cousins would have to be traded first, imo.

But I'm not trading either.

[reload141]

Tatum + Salary fillers in the off-season + all the picks you want. There is no way NO would accept Horford and there is no way Boston can get AD without giving up Tatum.

t

Yeah, the greatest signing in Celtics history traded 1 year after they signed him, perfect to destroy the franchise in FA and their image in the league. Pelicans trading Davis for a late first round sounds very intelligent too.
