    They have like 7 first round picks for like the next 2 or 3 drafts, including the Nets' next year.

    What reason do the Pelicans trade Davis though?

    Too early but Davis will asked to be on the trading block during next summer after another bad season imo .

    If I were Ainge , I'd try to get Butler for 3rd + Crowder + fillers then wait for A.D ... Horford + 2018 BK +2018 LAL + 2019 LAC + 2019 Grizz picks would do it

    Anthony Davis is under contract for 4 more years. There's no rush by New Orleans to trade him.

    All those picks will expire already by the time Davis is on the trading block.

    I'm talking from A.D point of view though . I wouldn't take more than one additional crappy season with the Pels .

    Or what? He can demand a trade, but the Pelicans have no obligation to trade him. Is he going to sit out? I doubt it. He's the one that signed the giant contract.

    Apparently C Bags are trying to trade for Butler AND go after Hayward.

    I'd imagine #3 goes out in the Butler trade.

    I know, but they've still got Crowder and Jaylen Brown there as well.

    They decided to move down in the draft because they had "guard depth" but they've really got a ton of wings too. They'd need to move out a couple of those guys to bring in Hayward and Butler.

    Or Kyle Lowry maybe.

    But Pau expects to re-sign there long-term for less.

    Lowry totally slipped my mind as a free agent.

    Signing Pau was a mistake in the 1st place ... Spurs have to get rid of all their old guys and LMA as Kawhi is entering his prime .

    They have a great chance to compete going forward if they add the right younger pieces
