Is it simply rationalizing because you dont want him on the Lakers?

I guess that depends on if you think Kuzma, Ball, and Ingram is a good offer. Do you? I think it's ass.

If I'm the Pels, I wait until June 1 when Boston enters the mix and then try to play them off of LA to see if I can get the best deal from either team.

Yes and no. Kuzma is a nice piece, but Ingram is nearing lost cause territory and the Ball family circus hurt's Lonzo's value. Plus, those are going to be terrible picks. It might be the best NOLA can find, but I have a hard time believing they couldn't do better.

Yes, that would be the best case scenario for the Pelicans, given that AD wants out of NO.

A package centered around Siakam/OG is way more interesting to me than the Lakers stuff

It'd suck for the Bucks for Davis to go to Boston or Philly over the Lakers since he ends up in our conference, but that seems more likely to me than the Pelicans going for the Lakers trash offer.

Thinking the Celtics trade Kyrie if it means they can acquire Davis at the deadline. Danny Ainge has shown over and over the extent to which he's cut throat so loyalty won't even be a consideration.

This is what I was thinking also. Ujiri would pull off the riskiest, most brilliant plan ever, as I would suspect Kawhi/AD would commit to teaming up and re-signing.

AD for Middleton, Snell and Thon works in the trade machine.

Agreed the Lakers offer is crap. Those young Laker guys aren't "bad" but none have established themselves yet on a track to be an all-star lock in the next two years. Believe that both Tatum and Siakam as pieces are more valuable than anything the Lakers have at the moment.

The Lakers shouldn't even be in the mix! There are going to be double digit teams with clearly superior offers to what they can do. This is not free agency.

Here's where we should be players. Mirotic.

If for some reason NOP decides to blow it up, a Thon/Ersan package for Mirotic works.

Bucks should focus on Jrue Holiday and try to trade for him if possible.

The bad news is that if NO wants to fully reset, the Bucks don't have the draft picks to make an offer.

Boston's young guys absolutely crush LAL as a package. LAL's young talent is extremely underwhelming.

I think there are some great other ideas out there, as well. Siakam would be really interesting.
Boston isnt going to be able to match salaries.

Tatum, Brown, and Smart for AD works. Not too hard.

EDIT: It took me all of 30 minutes to forget about the Celts situation with the Rose Rule. Yeah, that's more complicated. I'm sure something could be worked, though.

Of course, if they're blowing it up, they won't want Ersan.

I don’t see why they’d want Ersan though.

Knicks might have the best shot at AD.

Kristaps and their 2019 1st is one hell of a start at putting together an enticing package.

emunney · Post #998 » by **emunney** » Mon Jan 28, 2019 6:50 pm

The Knicks' unprotected pick alone is a more enticing asset than any package the Lakers could assemble.

Yes, that is quite an offer. I believe they might go for it.

Orlando can offer 3 defective Giannis clones.
