Davis & Cousins are young and possibly the best front court in the NBA. With the NBA moving to super teams, we must go get a star wing now. Why can't we get Jimmy Butler? I want us NOW to be a championship contender. Yes, I would mortgage the future to join a Big Three of Cousins, Davis, and Butler + Holiday. It's win now!

You kinda have to have these things called "assets" to get good players.

How? Boston is reportedly in discussions with Bulls now for Butler starting with the #3 pick in the draft and more assets.

How would you go about doing this?

We have no assets to trade.

So do I, as well as every single Pelican fan in existence. Doesn't mean that we will though.

As others have said, Pels have no assets and poor cap options (not horrid) thanks to Demps pretty much being an utter failure at his job.

In the end, the Pels have little to no shot if even building a team that can get past the first round for the next two years.

- We have no assets

- Contrary to what people who live there think, there are other/better cities players would rather live in

- We aren't "one piece away" from making a title run.

Yea, that's just not true. They have no shot at building a championship team. THey can easily become a team that wins a playoff series, though, as soon as this upcoming season.

If they figure out how to maximize AD/DC, they can absolutely win a playoff series.

I wish you idiots were at least not lazy with your stupidity. If you were to explain how, in your little pea-headed brain, you thought that was possible, then we would have a tangible illustration of you irredeemable idiocy. But no, just a fleeting glimpse into the moronic wreckage that is your mind.

I would think that having AD/DC has to at least improve your odds of (A) getting visits from players who otherwise would have never come here and (B) getting free agents to take a reasonable contract rather than gouge us as a cash grab
