From Matt Moore on the Spears tweet

quote:

The issue here is that the Pelicans are short on assets they can move that aren't considerable. There are definitely teams trying to move their picks, with teams as high as the No. 8 Kings open to the possibility, but the Pelicans' roster is top heavy. If they're willing to part with Eric Gordon, even on that sizeable contract, and another future first, they might be able to move into the teens and acquire someone like Gary Harris, Jusuf Nurkic, K.J. McDaniel, or C.J. Wilcox.


Giving up another future pick is dicey. For a guy like Holiday, it's fine. For any of these guys, it's a little ridiculous.

Their pursuit of a center is additionally interesting considering they elected last year to trade Robin Lopez to make room to sign Tyreke Evans, and played Anthony Davis at five a considerable amount. Davis is better at power forward, but this seems an awful lot like trying to undo mistakes that were made last year in trade

I've already figured it would cost the 2015 1st to move Gordon. If we could do Gordon + 2015 1st for a 2014 1st without taking back a bad contract, that's a good move in my book.

giving up next year's 1 and moving Gordon for a pick in the teens? MAKE IT HAPPEN LEWMIZ!

We dump sandy, and add a cheap piece. We free up a ton of cap to address the 3 and or 5.
