Trade Deadline Rumours & Discussion Thread II

[ItsDanger]

You're in 3-4 different threads talking about Kessler. If you mentioned Kessler predraft, I'd like to see it. Because I did a quick search on your poster history and I don't see it. Either way, it's spamming right now with 20/20 hindsight.

"Take a scorer or a C. Will be options at 31. Even a Walker Kessler could still be available there. You're just not in the driver's seat anymore."

I was hoping maybe he'd fall. At #20, we'd be in the driver seat picking direction.

Hardly spamming. Trades and draft decisions are important points in a franchise.

Spamming would be constantly denying reality that it was a mistake. And an obvious one.

So you've mentioned him once over a year ago and now patting yourself on the back because you knew he was going to be a no doubt prospect that was going to deliver these results? It turns out 21 other teams passed on him as well. **** man, you should be in an NBA front office.

And yes it is spamming. Everyone and their mother has heard how much you love Walker Kessler and have always touted his amazing skillset (once). Enough of it, you're spamming the board. Unofficial warning.

You asked for evidence, I provided it. If you review threads closely, who is actually cluttering with pointless posts? Posters which can't accept reality of a mistake.

You posted evidence you (once) thought he might be around at the 31st. Someone at the 31st pick isn't quite a can't miss prospect?

Again, enough. Next time it's a warning. Find another negative slant on a different topic.

While it's grainy I think it's unethical to post pics of people's personal phones where there might be personal information revealed. Let's try and do better, even if you're desperate for news or in full on fist-shaking mode.

What time is the deadline on the 9th? Is it something like a 6pm deadline?

This is such a silly counter point. Why did 21 other teams pass on him? Because there were better players available, players with more potential, players that fit the team better, poor drafting/incompetence, and etc.

Exactly, that's the entire point. It happens EVERY draft and if we held onto the draft pick, very well could have happened to us. Maybe we draft Koloko at 20 and then everyone hear would bemoan us drafting Koloko over Kessler.

Kessler is having a better season than how many people drafted before him?

People hit late in the draft, most players don't. To go back and say 'well we should have drafted him' is having a hindsight 20/20 crystal ball and is a horrible argument.

I just think it's silly because it's a 20s pick as well. This isn't a passing on Luka for Bagley or Johnny Flynn over Curry. Situation the draft can be a crapshoot at the best of times. Kessler has been awesome but he's not a generational talent. Once you get passed the lottery there's a decent chance the guy you take doesn't become a rotation player.

Lotto mistakes set franchises back years and years. This was not one of those things and we still have Koloko. Let's see what he turns into before writing his obituary barely halfway through his rookie year.

In more fun news a Memphis/NOLA bidding war for OG is pretty amazing news. Would love to see what a overpay from New Orleans would look like asset wise.

In more fun news a Memphis/NOLA bidding war for OG is pretty amazing news. Would love to see what a overpay from New Orleans would look like asset wise.

Trey, Dyson, and a 1st rounder, maybe the LAL one, maybe one for next year is what I think Raps should try and settle for.

Too lazy to check, but as long as NOLA owns a 2024 1st rounder, I'd pull trigger on Dyson, Trey and lotto protected 2024 pick. If you can get LA pick this year even better. But, something along those lines is best haul I think you can get for OG.

Other than late 1st rounders, and Laravia, I'm not sure what Memphis is throwing out there. Maybe, Dillon Brooks who we'd instantly have to resign.

Pay up Trey Murphy else no thanks Pelicans

I would hope that the bidding war is for young talent and picks and not like Devonte Graham vs Danny Green

I can't see us bringing in all of that just for OG. OG is s great player but he isn't a star.

If NOLA offered Murphy, Graham and the LAL 1st, that would enough to get me to pull the trigger.

If the LAL pick is off the table then Daniels, Murphy, Graham and a protected NOLA 2024 FRP for OG and Flynn is reasonable.
