NBA source tells me #Pelicans have “had discussions” about acquiring Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder in trade. Unsure how far talks got. I’m told NOLA likes his talent, potential fit on court... but has MAJOR concerns about his pending legal issues (felony assault).




I know it's Fletcher but something to talk about.

Taking Schroeder would depend highly on the cost. Like his game. Price would need to be cheap though.

Can't see touching him with pending legal issues.

I don’t believe that shite. Schroeder is a terrible fit, he’s not a good shooter, not high IQ, terrible defender. He’s an okay backup PG with a felony assault charge being paid like a premium starter. He’s really immature and I hear universally hated in the Hawks locker room . Atlanta has been trying to ditch the guy for over a year now.

I think Shroeder is seen as a negative contract because of his personality. I wouldn't offer more than Hill. It seems like that would make it harder to trade for someone like Barnes later in the season too, so I can't think they'd be that serious about it.

i said in another thread, schroeder is a really expensive version of Elrid, on a more structured team w/ a better offensive system

There is truth to it. Both Bazemore and Schroeder have been discussed.

Which gets fans excited. But about 2% of things "discussed" happen, so its not a big deal at this moment

Any disucussions with the Wiz about Sato or Wolves about Tyus? I know Dell has coveted Tyus in the past and he has to want out with Thibs re-signing Derrick Rose.

I haven't asked about any of the around the edges possibilities because I know they want to explore major moves first and I also know that when it comes to Dell, he is exploring every minor move in the world so its pointless to try and figure out which one will happen because those are dependent on the player or team not getting any other reasonable offers

Any potential major moves have progressed or is it still in the feeling out/exploring mode?

I'm not completely against Schroder, while I'm not a huge fan, the dude has some upside at 24 years old. Plus he'd slide into a role as, at the very best, the 4th or 5th best player on the team.

As for his personality, this is where AD, Jrue, & co. would need to be leaders and set this dude straight if he got out of line.


Straight up for Solo? Ill take the gamble every time

I would think only a few teams like Atlanta and Orlando are ready to make those kind of moves. Everyone else is trying to win. I would imagine a lot of what Demps is doing now is pricing things for later.

I would bet heavily against a major move. Its just so much better to buy in February. Maybe a guy the level of Bazemore or Carrol gets done, but even that I doubt. Teams are just in denial right now.

Denial about how good their team is. A lot of teams think they can make the playoffs in November. Reality seeps in a couple months later.

You typically don’t see much trade action at this point in the year unless a star demands a trade. The Kawhi situation has the ability to possibly shake some things loose (something is going to happen with Philly), but after the draft and a week of free agency, teams are usually at peace with where they are until games are played and reality smacks them in the face.

Does anyone think the Lakers would be willing to do a S&T of Rondo for Randle? It would help us preserve our MLE. We may need to throw a future pick (2nd) to satiate LA to do that.

Thoughts?
