If my Hawks came, asking for Davis, would the 2 lottery picks we have coming this June be a good starting point?
It'd be the DAL pick - top 5 protected and the ATL pick - top 1 protected (let's remember that Davis is a flight risk, while Zion Williamson is special).
Remember, I said "starting point."

Im curious on Pels fans thoughts on trading Davis. Do you prefer to go young and rebuild or make a run this year and next still?
There is a 3 way deal that works cap wise with Memphis and the Lakers.
Memphis gets Lonzo, Ingram, & expirings of Solomon Hill/Caldwell-Pope
Lakers get A. Davis, Wes Johnson, & T. Frazier
Pelicans get Mike Conley, Marc Gasol, Josh Hart & Lakers 1st rnd Pick and Multiple Memphis 2nd rnd picks
PS, I have always wanted to watch a Conley/Holiday backcourt also, it would be pretty fun to watch them beat the Davis/Lebron led Lakers team

Lakers are desperate to win with Lebron and likely have assurances from at least one other star that they will sign with them next season so it is likely that they would be willing to part with all their young core.
Ball, Ingram, Kuzma, Zubac, KCP and a 2019 1st is the strongest package out there which I believe they could get, if Lakers want Davis before the deadline and make Lebron happy they will do it.
Also if Ball doesnt want to be in New Orleans because of Holiday Phoenix could possibly be interested in Josh Jackson and if you are lucky a 2019 1st but more likely a 2020 1st rounder for Ball.
So you would turn Davis into Kuzma, Ingram, Zubac, KCP, Jackson, LA's 2019 1st and Phoenix's 2020 1st.
Next season NO is looking at
Holiday/Payton
Moore/KCP
Ingram/Jackson
Kuzma/draft pick
Okafor/Randle/Zubac
A top 4 draft pick this season or top 10 next season in phoenix's pick, top 10 draft pick of your own and a pick in the 20's from LA. To me that is a good young solid team to start over with. Then if you can flip Holiday into some more assets you will be laughing.

The Pelicans lose arguably the best big man in the NBA but replenish with quality depth to fortify its roster. A backcourt of Ball and Holiday would allow the Pelicans to continue pushing the ball at an even more frenetic pace. The Pelicans will have a lot of versatility to create matchup problems. Ball and Ingram can develop more outside of the intense spotlight of the Lakers.

Do they have three players they are willing to waive (and possible eat salary if not picked up off waivers) in order to make those types of trades happen?
