re: Report: People around NBA expect Pelicans to trade #10 pick

If this still goes down I hope this is more like #10 for #18 and Lu Dort. Does Houston or the Knicks have any players we would want added to their picks in the 20s?

That’s just not true. The probability of landing a contributor in the draft is low after top 34ish. Building through NBA draft is very hard. And most rookies don’t contribute until year 3. If they find someone they think is a future star that falls or someone they think is nba ready, fine. But it’s way riskier than trading for someone you know can play.

Only guys I would want from Knicks are FA's and would have to be S&T, but cant before draft. Houston really only has House, but I'm not sure I would do House alone with 23 and 24 for 10, even if they take Bled.

Expand this and use Clippers interest in Kemba.
10, Bled, Adams to OKC
Kemba to Clips
16,18 whatever salary Clips send to Pels (thinking Rondo, Pat Bev, Kennard)
Get off both salaries, Rondo could come in and help the new HC, and also as the vet leader we've BEEN needing, Pat gives 15 million in expiring for another deal (maybe able to work a Pat Bev and Hart S&T to Cleveland for Love and a future 1st, or even an Allen S&T?)
There's alot of possibilities, I think it all starts with a trade down and getting either OKC, Houston or Knicks 2 picks.

This year is the only year that matters. There’s no other year in David Griffin land. It’s this one. Or he’s gone.
There’s really zero evidence to support this. I would say it’s the exact opposite. They just opened the checkbook to fire a coach one year into his deal plus likely with most of his staff. That’s not something you do for a guy that’s one year from being removed.
I’m not happy with the job Griffin has done, but his seat probably isn’t even warm, much less hot.

Who would trade a reasonable priced veteran “who we know can play” for the #10 pick? The pick becomes part of a larger deal or you just won’t be able to get a legit player. Once you start getting in to large packages, the risks of completely screwing the trade goes up. They need to just draft kispert if they want someone who can contribute immediately

Bledsoe and the 10th for Brogdon pls

I would make that trade actually. It would be cool if we could get 13 from them too.

Something like this would be pretty ideal.
Guys like Donsunmu, Cam Thomas, Springer, Garuba etc at 18.

We just traded Jrue for Bledsoe adams and a bunch of late 1st.
The point of the Jrue trade last season was to avoid having to either pay him a massive contract that he wouldn’t be worth (for this team), or lose him for nothing in free agency.
Long term, it’s a win. Same with the AD trade.

I don’t think Adams for 2/35 is some wild overpay. He might not be a great fit for this team, but he’s still not a negative value contract. NBA starters (unless they are on a rookie deal) will make ~15 mil minimum.

Name me the team that would actually give up something meaningful to acquire Adams from us?
He’s negative value.
Best case scenario he can be used to match some salaries in a mega trade, but that’s hoping the other team is A.) cool with that, and B.) things fall perfectly into place where Adams is a must for getting it done by the other team.

The biggest asset the Pelicans will get is 3rd year Zion.
If we take the 10th pick then just grab an elite athlete with some traits untapped into. A rookie isn’t going to make much of an impact unless he’s Dame Lillard or Devin Mitchell reincarnated and is much more able to ball than many expect.
Which is why I like Moody so much. Yet I fear he’s gonna go higher than expected.
Save our assets. Someone will pull a Harden but won’t have quite the pull to force his way to a team as easily.

I think Moody is gonna be one of those classic guys that goes later than he should by 3-5 spots. And then overperforms his draft spot.

My point isn’t that he should’ve been retained, it’s that we got a shite return fir someone who the bucks thought was worth 40m a year. We received a negative asset, a bunch of late firsts and George hill who was used to acquire another negative asset. It was app around terrible. I have no clue what the next best offer was, but no way it is worse than what we got.

If there’s a guy they love at 10, fine. If not, go upgrade the roster or get off Bledsoe (which is also an upgrade).
They had reports that we had a deal in place to trade if Halliburton slipped down to our spot. I really liked him and thought we should have made every effort to trade up with the suns when he slipped down.
I also thought when Maxey and Bey started slipping down we should have used our 2nd first to move up some and snag one of them. Our team could really have use any of these three players right now. And I liked the Kira pick, just like Halliburton a lot more.
Griff wasn’t going to take Halliburton even if he was there, so I’m not sure I really trust his eye for scouting at this time.

I’m not enamored with the Jrue trade by any means because the picks start so late into the Zion timeline, but we have no idea if we traded Jrue for “late picks.” We control the bucks picks for 4 years in a row. They very well could be top of the draft picks. Look at Milwaukee’s salary situation. Very hard for them to get better. If they don’t win a title this year or next I think that team blows up and Giannis is moved.

I think Cleveland may do a straight up swap of Taurean Prince for Adams if they decide not to pay Jarrett Allen
