re: Pelicans "Extremely Active" in Trade Talks

It seems like we could really use some PF depth with Smiht out for the year and no time-table on Anderson's return

Does that seem to imply we're looking to make a trade to replace Jason Smith's role for the remainder of the season?

It's probably something we're looking for, but we also are getting closer to the deadline so I'd be surprised if Demps wasn't ramping up the deal making anyway. He's usually listed as one of the more active GMs.

Talking to league insiders, I'm hearing these names are being mentioned in trade talks within league circles (a lot of talk right now) ...
A. Afflalo, T. Ariza, C. Singleton, G. Davis, R. Evans, P. Gasol, T. Gibson, C. Landry, G. Monroe, A. Rivers, T. Sefolosha and G. Vasquez.

Every name on that list is a player that I would classify as not in their current team's long term plans. I'd put an * next to Landry because he was just signed and been injured most of the year, but other than that, that list reads "For Sale" to me. So what does it say that Rivers is on the list?
