nope -- would rather keep Siakam in the setting Kawhi leaves to kickstart the rebuild.

That's what the plan was when they got Kawhi for one season so what's the difference? Why stop now? If all it takes is losing Siakam and some other pieces, do it. Picks? Go for it. Raps won't have any decent ones anytime soon anyway.


It would take Siakam and first round picks. Assuming Davis and Kawhi bolt, you are left with a rebuild with no picks and no young studs. And let's be real, Nurse will find a way to screw up having Kawhi and Davis on the team. The rebuild would be useless for the first 3 or 4 years with no picks.

celtics can't trade for him until the summer unless they include Kyrie....and are the Pelicans gonna want an expiring Kyrie who could walk?

Kyrie is from NY and both the knicks and Nets have Max dollars for him....If the pelicans traded AD for half a year of Kyrie, it would be the worst trade in the history of the NBA

Not trading Siakam for AD, that's like trading Olajuwon for Ewing.

If NO were seriously interested in apackage surrounding Siakam for AD, you jump on it no question.

JV + Siakam + OG + Delon + 2 Future 1sts for AD.

Grab a few fillers in the buyout market.

Lowry - FVV
Green - Norm
Kawhi - Miles or *filler*
*filler* - Boucher or *filler*
AD - Ibaka

Yes obviously, but to be fair you can see siakam still has a ton of room for improvement it's kinda scary

Siakam + JV + OG + Delon + picks seems like a good offer to me.

I really hope Masai is doing it. I even hope he has a closed-door meeting with Kawhi and basically insinuates let's pitch this guy now on a defensive dynamic duo.

Kawhi is attractive. Hell, If I'm Anthony Davis, while the Lakers are appealing, that's very high pressure. You can go to Toronto, and establish history for a franchise that hasn't had theirs written yet.

I mean, if you can re-sign Anthony Davis, then you have to do that trade. Otherwise I'm not sure how I'd feel about trading all that for a few months of Anthony Davis.

its kinda obvious PLUS they play the same position. role player extraordinaire or franchise player to combine with another franchise player in Kawhi.

I mean Beal was borderline maybe-maybe not. but AD is definitely a hell yaa, trade Siakam for shizzle.

It's a year and a half. If Kawhi leaves you trade ad to the celtics for tatum.
