So we all have our dream scenarios. Mine is winning the second pick in the lottery and drafting Simmons. And then trading up for Korkmaz.


But I want to hear your plan B's and C's assuming Gentry and Derps is still here. I just like hearing what other people have a vision of for this team going forward into next year

For me that's
B:
Draft Heild at 6
Trade Tyreke for a mid first and take Prince
Sign Dudley and Extend Jrue

C:
Draft Luwawu at 7-8
Trade both seconds for mid first for Valentine
Sign Crabbe and Extend Jrue

What do y'all got?

All 3 of those sound like serious long shots. You should have a more realistic plan B

I'll be playing a metric shite ton of golf, working my arse off, and finally getting out of the Marines.
As to the Pelican's
Get healthy, resign some pieces
Draft Hield/ shooter or SF
Get ready for next year

I'm hoping that Loomis uses this pill on Dell. And gets a new GM.

I don't know what Plan A is, and i don't know what kind of cap space we will have.
That being said, i dont' want to see Asik on this team next year. I don't want any center on this team making over $5 million dollars a year unless he's an allstar. I don't want to see Ryno on this team next year if he's making over $13 million a year.
I don't mind keeping Reke, but i'd like to get a draft pick for him and try to get Denzel Valentine if possible.
I don't want to see EG on this team next year, unless he's making under $5 million a year at best, and he shouldn't start.
I would like to have at least 5 players worth a shite at the 2 and 3 position, with 3 of them being young guys we are trying to mold into taking the number 2/3 spot on this team behind AD and Jrue.

No one has any idea what will happen this summer. Could be a ton of trades, could be quiet. The FA class sucks though.

Regardless of the pick, the plan needs to be let Gordon/Anderson walk (unless they are willing to take healthy discounts), and use the cap space to sign more NBA rotation quality guys. With Holiday/Davis and Evans, they just need more functional pieces to help out. Draft BPA (non PF edition) at whatever spot and go from there.

I doubt Batum comes here and I don't think it's wise to spend all the cap space maxing him (or Barnes) out. That team still would not be going much of anywhere. Guys I'd look at who would be "cheap" (thinking under 10 figures annually):

Courtney Lee (solid starting caliber NBA 2 who's played big games but never stuck anywhere)
Evan Turner (6th man/25MPG off the bench do a bit of everything guy)
Jared Dudley (wing/small ball depth and vet familiar with Gentry)
Mirza Teletovic (Anderson replacement at an anticipated much cheaper deal)
Terrence Jones (RFA, but coming off a horrible year. Maybe get a big discount on a guy who has flashed ability)
A backup big with some athleticism/rebounding ability

Nothing too exciting, but I don't see many exciting moves for the Pels. If they honestly believe in Davis/Holiday, then they have to work to find NBA level pieces that fit around them, while holding onto draft picks to replenish the roster. I doubt they blow it all up, so this is the best way to move back into the playoff discussion and also have some pieces that can grow with the core.

1. Watch Dell trade our first.
2. Scream and yell; be pissed off in general.
3. Watch Dell frick around with some scrubs.
4. Wait till season opens with ridiculous injury list.
5. Watch Gentry in-game, staring into space with his mouth open.
6. Drink heavily.
