New Orleans Pelicans are willing to part ways with Brandon Ingram in hopes of getting Damian Lillard, I’m told.

Pels are also willing to part ways with multiple first round picks that they acquired in the Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday deals.


Part of the rumor mill so taking with multiple truckloads of salt, but, hey, I like our name out there.

BI, Kira. 4-5 firsts get it done?

Still have tons of firsts. Keep NAW/Hayes as cheap depth.

Would you re-sign Lonzo?

Just stating the obvious, but Scoop B from Twitter is not a reliable source.

I mean blame Griffin for changing the market for superstars.

That might be the slightest of overpays in today’s game, but not by much.

Not when Dame is yours for at least 4 years.

I mean but you still posted it?

If he has no credibility, which he doesn’t, then there is no real news.

Ask yourself as a Pels fan how many first rd picks you'd ask for if we were trading BI by himself. Then apply that to your offer for Dame with BI involved.
If we are adding BI to this deal then we aren't giving them 4 first rd picks too. We'd lose that trade every damn time and I don't care how good Dame is.

AD is worth a lot more than Dame

Harden is worth a lot more than Dame

Dame getting more than either would be crazy

Right

Especially if he is forcing his way out. You send him Ingram and whatever else to match money & maybe a pick

yeah i was thinking ingram/bledsoe and a 1st, maybe our pick this year

the biggest difference in the AD/George trades and this one would be BI is a proven, real deal All Star in 2021

when we acquired him? all potential

when OKC acquired SGA? all potential

it makes all the difference in the world

Is he though? AD can't carry a team Dame can, Dame is the most clutch player in the league and can get his own shot. Plus Dame has 4 years left on his deal AD had 1.

Truthfully it's amazing we got as much as we did for AD the way he tried to screw us.

Not really when you consider he is yours for 4 years and is a borderline top 5 player. Best clutch player in the league.

Keeping in mind he so far isn’t(and really can’t) poison the well of teams that can trade for him, guaranteeing a bidding war.

The Blazers roster sucks. If I am giving up BI then I want them to take Bledsoe and give us Covington. I also don’t see why we have to come off too many 1st round picks.

Lillard makes a shite load of money and the Pels would be giving them a young cheap western all-star.

I also want the Pels to be bringing back Lonzo anyways.

Lillard
Covington

For

Ingram
Bledsoe
Lewis
Picks

I still like the Pels roster and think they need glue guys to take the next step.

You start Lonzo at SG and Covington at SF. You have NAW be the sixth man. Hayes starts and Adams is a vet leader and enforcer.
