    Good stuff. Thanks Mr. Rambis.

    I think it would be unwise of the Pelicans to not consider a deal with the Lakers, especially since we now have an extra asset in the 4th pick.

    At that very least, if the pels don't like one of our young players, they should let us know what they'd like us to get for them and we'll go out and get it from PHX, CLE or CHI as all 3 are looking to move up in the draft or get a PG (lonzo maybe?).

    I can see us dealing Lonzo for the 6th or 7th pick and a player or two (Josh Jackson or Kris Dunn)..or maybe dealing 4th for 6th or 7th and a FUTURE pick (similar to what ATL did with Dallas the previous year)...I'm open to both scenarios..I just hope Lakers FO is thinking creatively about this and talking to everyone about these scenarios! We have a real chance to hit this right

    I'm sorry I thought I was talking s*** to my friends irl :LLLLLebronlaughing:, but seriously this site is not an echo chamber, we have enough differing opinions here among ourselves to get annoyed with, no need for a troll talking s*** about our FO because they're luckier with their ping pong balls

    Plan 1A, if Kahwi leaves the Raps, trade for him maybe an opt in, then sign Kyrie, we have less talent drain than an all out bidding war for Mr glass Davis...

    Something like Zo BI for Kahwi opt in. retain our 4th pick/new toy

    I hope we have a backup trade because even though we can offer a better package, my gut tells me AD is going to the Knicks.

    Anthony Davis says to the opposing GM I am going to Lakers in one year, Pelicans get dank. See you in 2020 AD.

    Bummer. Cutting off your nose despite your face? Stupid move, IMO.

    yeah, just keep the flexibility to create a max spot if necessary in 2020 and tell NO to kick rocks. don't let them use us to get more out of ny.

    it's why they're a perennial bottom-dweller that will probably be relocated. can't cure bad ownership. see phx, ny...maybe us.

    we're fine without davis. and if he moves east, that's better. let's get kawhi or kyrie, keep our all of our youth and the #4 pick, and be ready to sign davis if he walks in 2020.

    It’s nice knowing that you can blow off better trade packages when you know you can suck and will be gifted the next generational talent down the road.

    Star leaving, get top pick, rinse repeat

    Reading that report, she didn't actually say that. The reporter says they "think" she said "basically" this . . . that's a lot different than her coming out herself and actually giving such a quote to the media. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so easily. This is another media manipulation and whether it really mirrors her thought or opinion is another matter. This is pre-negotiation strategy.

    why isn't NO upset with boston, who has been hoarding assets for years and making no secret of their intention to use those to get davis? that would piss me off as an owner.

    at least ny just sucks and is in a big city.

    Gandhi like even to calm Ill will. I see him stepping into the void created by the Clippers shipping Blake out after annointing him. Will Boston do the same?

    Yup, this is a description of the report I found on Reddit:

    Kurt Helin reports that Dan Feldman reports that Jackie MacMullan reports that she has been told (she thinks) that Gayle Benson has "basically told" David Griffin....

    This is an aggregation of 4th-hand reporting that was self-described as "scuttlebutt."
