JV/Delon/Norm for AD?
Why not?
Could add Kawhi to that package and they would still tell you to **** off.

AD + Kawhi would dominate the east for the next decade.
Too bad it just won't happen. AD is more valuable to the Pelicans than any package we could possibly make.

We could also use some more help at the 4.

Yes but I think we could get Butler now for JV and more.

Atlanta trade - (Bazemore) receive - (Norm, TJ Warren, (protection on Raptors 2019 pick))
Minnesota trade - (Butler, Taj) receive - (Bazemore, Miles, Chriss, Raptors 2021 pick protected)
Raptors trade - (Ibaka, Delon, Miles, Norm, 2019, 2021) recieve - (Butler, Chandler, Taj)
Jonas / Chandler / Monroe
Pascal / Taj
Kawhi / OG
Butler / Green
Lowry / FVV
Chandler 13m, Taj 14m, Kawhi 20m, Butler 20m, Green 10m = 77m expiring
Both picks are lotto protected if niether Butler or Kawhi stay, Pascal & OG remain heading into a potential rebuild.
Raptors round out their depth with 2 solid veterans with experience, toughness & defense.
If Kawhi & Butler can be retained having 77m coming off the books would give financial flexibility.

Why would the Wolves do that?
And why is Bazemore being so overrated?
Suns are going to give up Warren while receiving Ibaka?
Hawks are walking away with murder.
Raps aren’t getting Butler for that pile of crap.
Wolves should be the ones acquiring Warren if they’re trading Butler.
Sorry but I’m not feeling this at all.

That said, I'm not a fan of the deal above. I don't want to move anymore picks. I know we love Leonard but we still have no idea whether or not he's staying. It's best for the franchise to proceed with a rebuild in mind.
Unless we're getting a talent(s) that aren't going to cost us picks and young guys (except Delon).
