Dont worry, they'll ask for Zubac. They're just going to wait for the Lakers to agree to those two extra picks first.

They only want the good side of being the biggest franchise in a great city that attracts almost every free agent and has Lebron James. Meanwhile they made some terrible draft picks decisions and didn't want to spend a dollar to get PG13 and now they are complaining?
We have to overpay some players to keep them, make great trades and great draft picks in order to compete...

oh yeah just read lakers final offer included Hart and Zubac. Think the Pelicans should take it.

They can beg for another pick and close the deal

Presti is quiet because we got nothing to offer. The core of Westbrook, George, Adams and Ferguson is going nowhere and the rest of the guys are just not good enough to generate any interest. There are also no picks nor cap relif that we could offer to other teams.

Best we could hope for is that some of those decent players decide to sign with us after the buy outs.

thought Schroeder was a great PG?

Best case scenario : Lakers and NOLA agrees to that deal. KCP gets buy out and we get him

He's good and i like him, but he's not a asset for a teams looking to rebuild or blow it up.

How far are you going? Top 5?

If I was convinced Russ would play like he used to, I would do top five or even higher.

“Taurean Prince who was the apple of eye a couple of years ago,” Windhorst said. “He got hurt this year and that’s what kind of opened the door for Huerter and some of their other young guys. Taurean Prince is available; he’s still on his rookie deal. A team that makes sense for Prince is Oklahoma City but I don’t know who Oklahoma City has to trade. They are out future picks. Their payroll is enormous.”

Adams is not part of some untouchable core. Adams+Schroder+Ferg gets it done.

LMFAO - No one wants your crap. You can't pull out of something that the Pel's never let you in. Silly Lakers.

I didn't say untouchable. I was saying in terms of upgrade. Who can you get for Adams at his position that's a clearly upgrade over him (like Davis, Embid, Jokic, KAT or whoever)? The answer is no one. So he won't get traded.

Post #93 » by **Dadouv47** » Tue Feb 5, 2019 8:32 pm

Prince would be nice because he will be there next year but we don't have enough assets. Can't see how this might work. Better shot with an expiring like Ross/Mirotic

We think Adams, Schroder, and Ferguson can get us what? We would need a Starting Shooting Guard and guards on the bench unit.

Noel/ ?
Grant/ Patterson
George/ Diallo/ Roberson
?/ ?
Westbrook/ ?

Would be ideal to add Prince. I really wonder what ATL wants. Maybe we can adjust the first round pick we gave em.

You are beating no one in the playoffs with that frontcourt. Unless equal or better big man coming in such trade, I'm keeping Adams.

I hope we get him just to watch Windhorst have any other heart attack and get the fat guy sweats on espn like he did after George signed. People need to get over our payroll.

How has TWP been defensively the past two years?

Lower pick protections and throw in diallo. That’s about our only option. Atlanta doesn’t really need another guard but maybe they want a younger prospect than 25 year old prince. It’s a long shot but not impossible.
