Ok. The Pelicans trade AD for: Tatum, Smart, Robert Williams, Yabusele, 14, Memphis pick

They draft Zion #1.

You aren’t trading Jrue.

Complete the rest of the offseason to fill in the gaps. Who would you take at 14? Who would you sign in FA?

Who would you start next to:

Smart
Jrue
Tatum
Zion

What does that team need to be competitive?

I would sign Niko to pair with Zion. We need a big that can space the floor and still protect the rim decently. At 14, I would go BPA and try to get talent at any position. Hopefully, he would be another shooter.

Niko would be a good fit at a randle level deal. Not sure what his asking price will be though

Nickeil Walker-Alexander/Tyler Herro would give the Pels a wing to generate offense(moore is likely gone). I also like Hachi/ Washington / Claxton at PF. Would probably stash 39 somewhere.

Dudley feels fated to happen


Id like Dewayne Dedmon

Can shoot from outside, good rim protector

Wouldn't cost an arm and leg

Veteran PG that can shoot some and relieve wither smart or Jrue. Cory Joseph or Lin wouldn't be bad.

Smart/Joseph(Or Lin)/Frank

Jrue/Moore/Herro(or NAW)

Tatum/Yabusele/Kenrich

Zion/Dudley/Williams

Dedmon/Okafor/Wood

I look at a big that shoot the three and create to be the “backup” to Zion but part of the finishing 5.

Niko Mirotic is the perfect fit here - 3/$45

I’m trading Yabusele, Hill, and a future 2nd for a guard on a bad contract like Courtney Lee (waive him)

I’m trading 39 and 57 to move into late first to draft Cam Johnson

Draft Romeo Langford at #14

Sign Jared Dudley to a vet min
Re-sign Elfrid Payton

Really want to trade Time Lord and sign Looney but don’t know if that would be possible so he stays for now

Smart / Payton / Jackson
Holiday / Moore / Langford
Tatum / Williams / Johnson
Zion / Niko / Dudley
Williams / Okafor / Wood

Got shooting, defense, hustle - would be fun

Most importantly future flexibility. Can flip Moore and others later for better pieces. Have plenty of cap space moving forward and picks

Is Julius Randle for sure gone? I thought he was damn good.

Hell yes to Cam Johnson. He’s my third favorite player in the draft outside of Zion and Morant. Not because he’s going to be an all star but you know what he will be. A solid role player that will give you good 3 pt shooting and solid play.

Not a good fit with Zion and wants to get paid

Suns are rumored

Could possibly do a s&t with OKC and trade Moore for Nerlens. They’ll take any 3 point shooter they can get.

Also want to find a way to get JaMychal Green. He is the cheap 3 point shooting 4 we need.

Could also look to send Solo to Miami for Dragic with some kind of pick as well.

With 14, I’m drafting whoever has the highest potential. Little, Langford, Porter Jr.
also would like to get Okeke in the 2nd, any way necessary.

Why is Niko not a good fit next to Zion?

He was saying Randle isn’t a good fit

Teddy, Dragic is a FA I think. JaMychal would be a good cheap option if we miss on Niko

Absolutely you can. Smart shot decent from 3 last year. They would kill in transition and defensively they’d be a nightmare. They would need two shooters on the court with them for sure

Draft PJ Washington, NAW, or Bitadze
Sign Sato, Sefolosha, and one of Dedmon or KOQ.
Attempt to trade for Aaron Gordon.

Why would you trade Yabusele and a pick to dump Hill for a guy that makes the same amount, and then wave him?

I don’t understand the question.

Where is Morant?
