What is your ideal deadline trade for the Pels? Assuming the team keeps their core peices, who do you think the team could realistically aquire? What could a combination of Moore, Miller, Jackson, Okafor, Kendrich, and multiple 2nd round picks fetch?

My dream acquisition would be Gallinari. He fits a body type and skillset the team is lacking. He's on an expiring from OKC.

Another player the Pels could use is Myers Leonard, a 7-foot stretch C. Maybe the Pels could get Leonard for Moore in a salary dump or part of a 3-way trade (CP3 to Miami?).

Can we play the season first before you start talking about the trade deadline

Here's a novel idea. Don't respond to this post. Do what the fukk you do, don't instruct me bitch. Obviously the question wasn't for you. There's nothing else to talk about now. You seem real entitled to regulate subjects of threads.

He's exactly what the team needs. The team could use a perimeter threat from the C position. He's on an expiring. Hayes wouldn't be rushed into action.

why do you want to trade our expiring deals plus assets for another expiring? next years FA class sucks; moore + miller should be used to get someone with a couple years left IMO

I don't think we trade the house for an borderline All Star type player unless we are very clearly in the playoff picture, the core of the team has defined itself on the court, and we identify an obvious fit to make the team better. Everything Griff has done has been extremely calculated. Don't need to swing for the fences in year one. We have a lot of young talented players, focus on finding out what they are and creating a new culture.

I want to trade for the younger version of JJ Redick, whoever you think that is, but a guy who plays better defense -- oh, and with a couple of years left on his contract. Seriously, our team has all the long-term pieces it needs except someone who can consistently create opportunities for 3s, whether that's off the dribble or off screens. Redick is a great piece for this year and maybe next, but he's obviously not the long-term answer.

We just acquired a European stretch 4. Let's see how he does before we decide to upgrade over him.

Yeah. If these guys work out to even the most moderate of expectations they'll be solid starters and we'll have solid depth. In that situation I don't think a Galinarri level player changes much. You need Jrue and/or Ingram to step up a level or you need to trade for a star level player.

Gallinari wants to win

Gallinari would back up Ingram and Zion. He's a capable SF. He could play next to Melli (kind of like how the Bucks played Mirotic and Ilyasova together).

OKC: Dragic, Olynyk

MIA: CP3, Moore

NOP: Winslow

Depending on how Ball is progressing, I would flip him in a deal for Beal (unless he looks like an absolute stud in Gentry's system)

I’m hoping that Hart can fill that role to an extent.

Physically maybe, Mentally might be another story.

There's been so many times when there's a topic on the Rant that I find interesting, and I see that a lot more people have posted, so I go in looking excitedly for updates on the situation, only to find that the last four pages of posts are just emotionally stunted keyboard warriors insulting each other for their dumb opinions.

One of the great things about Pelicans Talk is how rare this kind of thing is.

hes really good.

I have no expertise in the money or trade rules as you say "on an expiring". I take it to mean he's going to be an unrestricted free agent soon so his trade value is just whats left of season.
God bless the nba players union.

I just go by "do i want the guy".
I think hes got a future.
