This is actually a really good deal. Essentially a 1-year/$8m deal.

Hawkins would probably get traded. The 8 mil per year is right against the luxury tax so a marginal move is needed. Good deal by Joe.

No sign and trade AND we didn’t have to use draft capital to dump Hawk?

Ok, great move

The New Orleans Pacing Pelicans... Now go flip Poole and a protected 1st for Myles Turner.

Murray/ Fears
Herb/ Mathurin/ McGowens
Trey/ Bey/ Peavy
Zion/ Queen/ Karlo
Turner/ Missi/ DJ

he's restricted right so clips can match? this is still being negotiated or all details aren't released yet

Mathurin’s reps approached the Clippers about withdrawing his $8.8M qualifying offer, effectively turning the QO into a more favorable situation in New Orleans with added security. Mathurin prioritized flexibility and the earliest path to unrestricted free agency next summer versus longer term offers with larger total commitments but greater team control.


Looks like they withdrew the QO as an agreement maybe

Another deal or two is coming.

1) We don't actually have a roster spot right now for him

2) Puts us at or right up against the Lux, which is obviously not happening

Most exciting move since making a fake trade for Banchero 2 weeks ago!

So it seems like the **potential** pieces could be Peavy Hawkins and Poole

Multiple people saying we will be several mill above the tax with this move

So another move or two is DEFINITELY happening

I remember being impressed with him in the Finals a couple years ago. That’s all I’ve got.

Wait are you saying that we plan to trade Poole/ Hawk/ Peavy and make several moves? A bunch of mentally fragile people told us .5 seconds into free agency that nothing would happen.

I am saying that they are clearly not going to pay the luxury tax, so they are going to have to work to dump some of those contracts to get under

I hope this helps

Don't know who would say yes or no but something like...

Pels get Benn Mathurin, Daniel Gafford
Mavs get Jordan Poole, Johni Broome
Clips get Caleb Martin, Jordan Hawkins, Micah Peavy

plus picks somewhere in there

Waive Karlo (I know I hate that too) and then Houstan and Bufkin make team

Murray / Fears / Bufkin
Herb / Mathurin / McGowens
Trey / Bey / Houstan
Zion / Queen / Watford
Gafford / Missi / DJ

This would actually be a decent refualr season team. Can absorb injuries and if they develop a running style will win some games off of effort.
