Demps is picking up his phone and returning calls -- just not from the Lakers, sources said. From Paul George to Leonard to Davis, the Lakers' front office is growing accustomed to icy receptions from teams enduring All-Star trade demands with a full year left on their contracts.
Davis' plan is to treat any trade destination as a one-year stop -- except, of course, the Lakers. Teams are learning that Davis' stated intention will be to play the season elsewhere if traded outside of the Lakers, but move to the Lakers as a free agent in 2020.
Starting last Friday -- when Davis made his request to the Pelicans -- several teams told ESPN that Demps had made forwards Nikola Mirotic, Julius Randle, and guard E'Twaun Moore available in trade talks. The Pelicans are continuing to explore the market value of those players, sources said.

The Lakers don’t deserve Davis because they have been incompetent the last few years and their talent is not the best deal out there.Pillendreher wrote:http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25892346/new-orleans-pelicans-gm-dell-demps-returned-call-los-angeles-lakers-gm-anthony-davisDemps is picking up his phone and returning calls -- just not from the Lakers, sources said.

Yawn. Get out of here with this nonsense. Like Davis is willing to waste years of his prime.Starting last Friday -- when Davis made his request to the Pelicans -- several teams told ESPN that Demps had made forwards Nikola Mirotic, Julius Randle, and guard E'Twaun Moore available in trade talks.

Moore please.

“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I would love to have Jrue but we don't have the assets and I don't think Presti is willing to go all in this year and start the rebuild next year (otherwise he wouldn't have signed PG13 and I think he will try to get the best of Westbrook until he shoots under 10% from the free throw line)

How though? I seriously disagree with some of the hype about him, but he is still a good player. They won't trade him for just anybody. Matchin salaries alone might be difficult.

I’m not necessarily opposed to it either, but does Ferg actually have real value around the league.
We obviously have a pretty decent price on him now, but does the rest of the NBA share this valuation?

Most of these stats have been traded for two assets and change. Jrue has quite a bit left on his deal but he’s not as good as George, butler and Kawhi. I think Ferguson has really improved his value. It just depends on what new Orleans thinks of Diallo or a frp in 15 years. Let’s not forget how bad dipo played in the Houston series and I don’t think Sabonis was really part of the rotation. Is it likely? No but it’s not impossible.
We may never do a full tanking rebuild but we’ve got some tough decisions to make this summer. I say go for it if we can.. Jrue could play alongside Russ and play backup pg.
