Just said screw the “market” and should take a long hard look at New Orleans. That would be very interesting. Maybe the guy who will put us in the elite category, and could help persuade some vets to sign to make a run

Well, they also discussed Melo as a possibility. as a possibility.

This board will be very interesting when the Pels upset the W’s in the next game.

If he opts-in, he is giving up roughly $10M this year. I cannot see that happening especially if the 76'ers are also in pursuit.

Under no circumstances is Paul George coming to NOLA. Hes all about the LA lifestyle and nothing else. Hes been saying bullshite to the media all season to make it seem like he was in for OKC. Hes gone as soon as free agency hits.

Having Jrue and PG shutting down your wings while AD defends the rim, makes you the best Defense in the league.

He actually doesnt have to turn down any money.

Paul George could approach the thunder and tell them he wants to be on the Pelicans, requesting that he opt in and then be traded to the Pelicans. We could then offer him more money in 19’.

We could then do the following trade:

Pels Recieve: Paul George

Thunder Recieve: 2021 unprotected 1st
Emeka Okafor
Liggins
E’twaun Moore (if neccessary)

Hawks Receive:
Solomon Hill
Alexis Ajinca
2019 unprotected first


Why the Thunder say yes:
Although it’s certainly not the best haul for a top 20 player, they get to waive okafor and liggins (non guaranteed deals), the trade generates a very substanitial trade exception, additinally they would receive the 21’ unprotected first, which would be worth a lot if everything falls apart for the pels. If thats not enough you include Moore.

Why the Hawks say yes:
They have a great deal of cap space, so theyd probably willing to take on salary for a 1st. Plus if they start Hill, it can help their tank keep on rolling.

Why the Pels say yes:
You acquire the star SF that is almost neccesary to contend in the NBA. Also, if you add Moore to the deal, the pels would actually create an $8 million trade exception.

The 2019 pick would be unprotected because if it wasnt protected then you couldnt trade 2021 because if the 19 pick conveyed in 2020 you would have traded two consecutive picks. The 21’ pick is unprotected to make it more attractive as something that could possibly hold value in the future.
