This had some pretty interesting tid bits in it. Oh what could’ve been.

quote:

Despite ongoing questions of their positional fit, Indiana has always valued Turner quite highly on the trade market, rebuffing overtures from Charlotte and even turning down the Pelicans’ No. 4 pick in the 19 draft” BRUH. Turner in 19 with Jrue, Lonzo, Ingram, Zion.


quote:

“The New Orleans Pelicans, while awaiting Zion Williamson’s season debut, are still expected to be buyers ahead of the trade deadline, with an eye toward competing for the play-in tournament. Third-year forward Jaxson Hayes, the No. 8 pick in the 2019 NBA draft, is now available”

Was just coming to start this. With a much better thread title :p

Jax being available really isn’t a surprise. Guys like him rarely ever pan out for the team that drafted them.

I really don’t like the thought of being buyers. I’d rather hold onto assets, let this roster play out, and let the next POBO get to make those decisions.

Unless we are talking about minor margin trades like Sato, Temple, Jax etc for other parts.

Orlando and Sacramento are the best spots.

I keep asking this. How does the trade exception work?

What do we have to give up to use it?

We have to fill the hole at PF and we need another guard. Someone has to take shots from Graham and NAW.

I'm usually pretty negative. But with everything going on, we are not that far off from making the play in. If we aren't top 4 in the draft guaranteed, I'd rather make a run and be competitive. Need at least two contributors to get it done..

Was this already known? I cant remember talking about knowing for sure if we offered that. That was a strong offer.

Indiana had a decent roster and I guess figured they could make a run with what they had. I always thought they under achieved the past few years. In 2019 they had Turner, Brogdon, TJ Warren, Oladipo (injured?) and Sabonis. Thats some pretty good talent.

The Houston Rockets are searching for trades that would clear a roster spot to convert two-way standout Garrison Mathews to their 15-man roster, according to league sources. Veterans D.J. Augustin, Danuel House Jr., Daniel Theis and Eric Gordon are all viewed around the league as viable trade candidates.


Sato for DJ Augustin+Danuel House works. House is on a $3.9M expiring. Gary Clark’s deal is non-guaranteed, so you could cut him to make roster room. Then you have until January 10 (when Didi comes back) to figure out how to trim the roster.

Appears as if Barnes and Fox from SAC are available. Either would be good fit.
