re: Pelicans are not expected to offer BI extension this offseason, moving in new direction

I think that's a dumb move for Detroit

Detroit has made it well known the last thing they want is another young guy on their team. They want to make win now moves.

and an even dumber move for us.

Explain how? You get a young PG that everyone here has been clamoring for, and two bigs that shoot 38 and 41% from 3

This also leaves you the ability to make a corresponding move and take in extra salary with the trade if we would really want to get crazy and send Herb to Atlanta for a straight swap with Murray.

So with that a BI, Herb and 21 trade beings back Murray, Stewart, Reid and also your PG of the future.

That’s a haul no matter how you want to try to spin it

I have no interest in any pick in this draft in a trade of BI.

Nobody had interest in the #1 pick when Minnesota was begging for teams to take it in what was supposed to be a bad draft. Teams are kicking themselves now for not doing it.

We have assets to attach to BI to go get a better player. We should be big game hunting, not doing some sort of soft rebuild.

Nobody of that caliber is available.
