re: Pelicans Plan A is to make a run at Kevin Durant next offseason

I guess here is the better conversation if we want to have an actual discussion:

Which guys or types of guys would you forgo the whatever chance you believe we have at Durant for? If you could have a bird in the hand, what kind of bird would that have to be to forgo a shot at Durant.

For me, of the guys who might be moved this year, the list is Melo and Cousins. That's it. I wouldn't do a Gordon for Parsons trade, for instance. I would rather a 10% chance at Durant than 100% chance at Parsons this year.

So, let's talk in those terms.
