It's pretty obvious they didn't know the difference between the deal being completing deal on July 6th to July 30th.

Also Woj has earned the benefit of the doubt, one of the worst FO's in the league over the last decade hasn't.

Who says they’re scrambling? This has been the plan all along. It has been reported plenty that there’ll be no problem offloading then for cap relief.

And we can easily also sign a Max free agent with our cap and trade for Davis over the cap.

Woj has an agenda against Lakers which has proven again and again.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:02 am

Agenda

pls don't play that victim card.

Also it doesn't make any sense, when you could have got a max slot without having to move extra contracts.

Pretty obvious they didn't know even if you don't want to believe it.

They didn’t know?

If you want to believe that. You’ve always been one to assume the worst without any evidence at all.

Do you really think there wouldn’t have been any leaks from LeBron or rich Paul if Pelink had fucked it up.

There’s a great article here describing how Lakers actually have max spot: https://247sports.com/nba/mavericks/Article/EXCLUSIVE-Clever-puzzle-pieces-DO-give-Lakers-room-for-LeBron-Davis-AND-max-free-agent--132970888/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

Coincidentally Woj reported that we would go after a max guy after all, a couple hours before this was published.

Before that he insisted we couldn’t get to a max spot because we had fucked up the trade.

And don’t tell me he thought we’d be keeping fucking Mo Wagner and Isaac Bonga over adding a max free agent?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:14 am

No I'm saying you can use those contracts to create even more space, they've limited their cap space for absolutely no reason what so ever.

As i said it's pretty obvious they didn't know, you can continue to believe what they say but their actions say otherwise.

Also they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt, short of some decent late round draft picks like Hart and Kuzma they've been run terribly for years.

Nah. Not gonna bother with that

Conley to Utah hmm

That Durant injury has really messed up the league in a great way. Every team is going for it

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Jun 19, 2019 4:09 pm

Yeah it's wide open as hell.

by CBarca Wed Jun 19, 2019 4:20 pm

Still wish it didn't happen tho

Even through all the GS stuff Durant was and still is one of my favorite players. I just hope he returns to action well. Such a unique and amazing player. I wonder if we'll ever see someone who can move like he does at his height while being such a great shooter.

Nice, really nice. They need one more big tough guy though.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Jun 19, 2019 6:35 pm

I think what they need is a wing who can create off the dribble but I'm not sure there's any available for them.

Lot of debate amongst Bucks fans about whether or not to max (or nearly max) Middleton on 5 years.

I get it, it would be, to some extent, a crippling contract. Middleton isn't worth a max, and especially over 5 years. However, I personally don't see what other option Bucks have.

Bucks have Giannis now and are in win-now mode. We have to keep the team we have together as best we can atm and go hard for a couple years trying to get to the Finals. We would have to weaken the team (get rid of Brogdon, Hill, Lopez) to even have a chance at an FA and we don't really have many assets either.

I think we have to max or near max him and just ride this team as far as they'll go.

Stupid question but what number Davis will wear at Lakers ?

There’s reports Pelicans wants to trade a whole lot to get RJ Barrett with the second pick.

I can’t believe them if they do that. So I’m really skeptic about the report

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jun 20, 2019 8:26 am

What ever they want to do i trust Griffin with completely.

by CBarca Thu Jun 20, 2019 3:49 pm

I wouldn't trust them if they traded the whole lot for RJ barrett at the second pick

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jun 20, 2019 3:55 pm

He and Langdon knows more than any of us do lol so yes i would.

Although most reports seem to be more indicating to trading down for more picks and a proven NBA player than they do trading up for RJ.

by El Gunner Thu Jun 20, 2019 6:28 pm

Am I just being stupid that Grayson Allen has talent and more to give to a basketball team? This move to Memphis could be good for him? hmm

Atlanta has acquired New Orleans No. 4 pick in the draft for No. 8 and 17 and 35, league sources tell ESPN. Pelicans are sending Solomon Hill, No. 57 pick and a future second-round pick.

Atlanta is also sending a Cleveland heavily protected first-round pick in 2020 to the Pelicans, league sources tell ESPN.

Atlanta is pursuing Virginia's DeAndre Hunter with the No. 4 pick, league sources tell ESPN. Atlanta GM Travis Schlenk makes a big move in lottery second year in a row to get his man. Last year, it was Trae Young. This time, DeAndre Hunter.

Anthony Davis has turned into:

- Lonzo Ball
- Brandon Ingram
- Josh Hart
- No. 8 pick in 19
- No. 17 pick in 19
- No. 35 pick in 19
- L.A.' 21 pick if top 8
- L.A.' 22 pick if not
- L.A. swap in 23
- L.A.' 1st in either 24 or 25

And got rid of Solomon Hill's contract.
— Andrew Lopez (@_Andrew_Lopez) June 20, 2019

Plus the Cleveland pick for next year but i'm not sure what the protections are for that.

Griffin is a GAWD.

Tbf they've completely revamped their front office.

Their President of basketball Ops now is the guy who was Daryl Morey's right hand man in Houston.

It just got no hype because well it's Minnesota.

Are Pelicans going to use these picks to try and get someone now, later, or do they intend on using these picks (I would assume with such a stack, they're assets for a trade)?

Not a clue, we won't really know the direction for a while IMO.

The other thing is we have over 30m in cap space now, i wonder what we'll attempt to do with it.

We apparently want a veteran big to go with Zion, who i'd love is someone like Horford on a short term deal but i don't see him wanting to join us.

Brook would also be great if Bucks don't resign him.
