Expect Hayes to be sent to Portland soon folks.

If true, why do I get the feeling it would simply be a minor trade (like Hayes for a couple of 2nd rounders). I hope not.

That sucks because it would have been nice to see lineups with Zion, Hayes, Hart, Graham, and Murphy.

I’m guessing this is the change that needs to happen though, and Hart’s contract was setup to do exactly this.


Yea there's no need to put any stock in his reports, he doesnt have any insider info.

Finally read the Pincus article. This was interesting if true...
quote:

According to sources close to the Pelicans, the team is heading into the deadline as a buyer focusing on the 2022-23 campaign. Zion Williamson, who has yet to play this year with a foot injury, is eligible for an extension this offseason. The team apparently views McCollum as the potentially ideal veteran scorer and leader to play alongside Brandon Ingram and Williamson.
We're buyers, but focused on next year.
Also...
quote:

Several executives view McCollum as a negative asset based on his salary ($100 million through 2023-24), size (6'3") and age (30). But that may be an opportunity for the Pelicans to add one of the league's best professional scorers at a diminished price.
Thats why some of these offers people are coming up with, with multiple firsts + multiple rotation players is crazy.

Interesting. David Fisher has been kicking around trade packages for Sexton built around Graham with next year in mind. He calls it doing a S&T now rather than this summer.

Yeah, Sexton was the first guy that came to mind.

He's kind of the perfect example of a buyer move at this deadline, that doesn't actually help you until next season. I'd definitely look into if I were Griffin. It clear he's not a long term fit with Garland.

Pincus also mentioned that Cleveland has their first round pick out there, for a combo guard.

I wouldn’t mind Sexton. Can still semi tank, acquire Sexton, draft Sharpe, profit

Long term…Sexton would be a better fit for the team. Can be a lead guard at time, shoot well, and drive & assist.

I agree he would be a better fit. However, what kind of contract will he command?

Probably less than CJ on the surface…I would assume something along the lines of what Lonzo got.

Also, it’s likely that both will be available in the offseason. So I think play for this deadline should be to use the TPE to take on a contract that makes sense going forward, and use Sato to take on a similar contract with more years added on.

As the resident Sexton lover. I was about to make that thread. I honestly had no idea other people were kicking it around.

But tbh, I’d prefer to keep Graham and let Graham play on the 2nd unit. Those 2 are tough to play together due to lack of size on defense, but we’d have 2 legit guards and only maybe need 1 more to have a competent overall backcourt. I was thinking more along the lines of trading them Temple, Kira, and some 2nds or a heavily protected first. I was willing to give up much more this offseason, but now Sexton is truly an expiring and injured right now.

Sexton
Graham
Ivey?
Alvarado
Can Hart count as a 2?

And the beautiful thing about doing a Sexton trade is that he can’t play right now. So we improve our talent, but we don’t hurt our draft slot this year.

I will say from a Cleve perspective they might want to be able to flip Sexton for someone that can play and help them in the playoffs so they very may well hold out for Hart or Graham and not be too excited about a Kira and picks package.

Pelicans notes from Jake Fischer’s latest column:

quote:

League personnel say the Pacers are seeking a package similar to or greater than the haul Nikola Vucevic drew for the Orlando Magic last season. Only Sacramento, New Orleans and Washington have been linked by league personnel as Sabonis suitors with significant interest


quote:

The Pelicans have become repeatedly linked to Rockets guard Eric Gordon. New Orleans has registered interest in various Trail Blazers, particularly Covington and CJ McCollum. The Pelicans are also said to be revisiting a trade package for Sacramento's Harrison Barnes that was discussed as a potential sign-and-trade for Josh Hart this past offseason.

I don't feel I properly booed Eric Gordon when he was last here...Griff trying to remedy that?

If Griff wants to make sure the fans run him out of town...

quote:

Harrison Barnes


I'm not saying Barnes wouldn't be an upgrade, but one area this team finally has a decent amount of talent at are big 2 way wings. I think Buddy would bring more to the team than Barnes, even though Barnes is the better player.

Sabonis and Barnes both seem like players that don't provide their full value to the Pels unless other players get moved. Although they could be pieces for bigger trades like the speculation of Sabonis for Fox.

Depending on what would be going out, I'm not exactly against any of those trades

Perhaps the only time I've said it about Griff trade targets, but all of those make a sort of sense if they aren't overpays. Barnes though only really makes sense from a Hart for Barnes swap perspective, cause Barnes isn't really an ideal fit despite his talent and skillset

What I wouldn't be cool with is if we are giving up something like a first for 33 year old Gordon. If it's seconds and filler, sure, but I bet Hou is trying to get a late first and I would not be cool with that.

Yeah.

This deadline is so weird. Tons of teams trying to sell guys but demanding premium costs. If we overpay for a dump (Gordon, Barnes, Hield) I'm going to get mad.

Sabonis is an asset. Sexton would likely (depending on salary) be an asset. Fox is an asset.

CJ is kind of in the middle but if we do a godfather deal for him I'll lose it

Thats how I see it.

If we turn around and sell the player again next year, will you get the same value in return?

If no, it's a bad trade right now and reeks of desperation.

And shite like this:

"Rockets reportedly confident in Eric Gordon landing first-round draft pick"

quote:

Cleveland has repeatedly come up as a potential Gordon suitor, with a plausible package of this year’s first-round draft pick along with the salary of Ricky Rubio (injured) for matching purposes.

And then hearing us in talks, makes me think we are potentially gonna be the sucker to over pay in a lost season to chase Griff's continued employment

This should be the only move we make at the trade deadline….

no thanks. I don't how Sabonis really helps us. he doesn't stretch the floor, and i don't think our 3rd best player should be a 5, it needs to be a 1 or 2.

Covington used to be one of the most underrated players in the league 5-6 years ago. Now he's been on a steady decline the last 2 years. Not that getting him means much b/c he's an expiring, but i have no interest in Covington for the future.
I would gladly take CJ, but i still think it takes Jax and 2 firsts to get him. and as i said before, i'm not worried as much about his age b/c of the style he plays. He's an elite shooter, especially catch and shoot, and he's still more than capable of getting his own shot when needed, and that's exactly what we need in our 3rd scorer. I think it's important we keep Graham as well, but not as a starter.


quote:

39% 3 point shooter the last 4 years. good 3-4 defender. Would have loved to have him before Herb arrived. Right now, i'd say i'd rather Herb on the court than Barnes. I would always say add as many good long 3&D wings as you can, but with BI/Herb/Zion, if you add those wings they are going to be playing a backup role, so they can't be making $20m/yr. That $20m/yr or more guy needs to be at the guard position, more point guard, or at least someone who can create and help facilitate like McCollum could.
