Will Demps make a trade or roster move sans Davis?

Everyone that I talk to has a different opinion on this.
I think he has to. Lou is averaging almost 11 fouls per 36 minutes...if our starting frontcourt gets in foul trouble, we are in trouble since Monty isn't playing Jeff much at all. Although, small ball/run and gun with aminu at PF hasn't been too bad.
What do you guys think we will do? Stay pat or minor/major move to bolster frontcourt?

I kind of expected some random dleague pickup. Maybe Onuaku since he was already here

Maybe a scrap heap guy for depth, but 4-6 weeks isn't really enough time to get a new guy not familiar with the system up to speed.

I don't think we will do anything. No way we trade any of our main guys right now IMO.
Maybe Rivers could be used in some trade; however, I still think they like him in the future.

Sons, before you go all disappoint on me, hear me out
We send Gordon to Boston for Kris Humphries and Jared Sullinger
For Boston, they let Jeff Green slide to SF and Gordon to SG. Both are under contract for a few years giving them a solid foundation for a rebuild
For us, we get Humphries and his expiring $12m as well as Sullinger, who is cheap and under control for a few years. Sullinger could provide nice depth off the bench; you can never have too much of that. Stiemsma and Smith are FA after this year and we will need some size in the front court.
More importantly, it frees up some money to balance out the roster. You could spend the money on a stud or on two good players who will add to our depth. Address needs at SF and C.
If you could turn that trade into, let's say, a Danny granger and Gortat, then you'd be doing alright. Granger may come really cheap if he can't bounce back this season.
Other FA SF and C of note. Could we look for a vet presence for a few years?
Pierce
Marion
Deng
Butler
Pau
Gortat
Hawes
Okafor

Deveney also writes that Joakim Noah still has high value around the league despite his battles with injury over the last few seasons. The Knicks would appear to be another logical landing spot for the 6’11 center, although the Pelicans, Thunder, and Mavericks are expected to be in pursuit should the Bulls place Noah on the trading block.

No way anything happens. The team's really meshing right now and the chemistry is strong. I think Dell is content to ride this wave out for better or worse, like what really can ya do when your #1 guy goes down besides frick off?
However, Tyrus Thomas is still on the market...

Pelicans won't make a move unless it's right before the trade deadline. That's when you can get most for you buck.

Tyrus has to be better than Lou right?

I like Sullinger, was sort of hoping they would draft him, and I like the idea of cap space but that feels like too little for me. Almost a tank idea. Gordon has been really good this year (still isnt converting at the rim well, but ive got faifth). I don't know if you trade a near 20 ppg scorer for this return.
Cap guys can correct me, but they should be able to get $10M or so for this summer. Should be enough under the new rules to get a decent big body and wing.
Actually like Hawes on this roster a lot. Not a big fan overall, but he makes sense with the guards and Davis and he's big enough to bang. And throwing money at Jeffrey Taylor or Draymond Green might be worth it. Weird 2nd rd pick rules, but you never know. Alan Anderson would be another guy to think about.

Next season Holiday/Gordon/Evans/Anderson/Davis/Rivers/Withey = $53.9 million
+ 5 $500K roster holds = $56.4
Getting such little return for Gordon is really the only way to have any kind of cap space if cap space is your goal. I'm still not sure how I feel about Tyreke as SG. Ball dominating bench scorer driving and kicking to Ryno seems like a great role for him. If we could get a low priced 3 and D 20 MPG SG I might be more comfortable. Maybe Darius Miller could be that guy.

Thabo Sefolosha is an interesting candidate in FA next year. Won't break the bank, shoots a high % from the corner 3, and can lock down the other team's best wing player.
Posted on 12/4/13 at 10:38 am to GynoSandberg
My first thought was why would he leave OKC, but after checking their cap situation, if they refuse to pay tax he'd have to take a pay cut to stay, and he's only making Aminu money right now. Definitely the type of low cost 3 and D wing this team can use.
Posted on 12/4/13 at 10:51 am to TigerinATL
Yep. His situation is getting cloudy in OKC.
With a team full of scorers, he would be a nice fit. He is older than I thought but a 3 year deal would be fine

I haven't seen any projections on that yet.
