Who do you have in mind?


No idea really. I keep looking at the run Miami is on and if they are going to be buying or not. They are deep at SG, I wonder if they would come off Josh Richardson or Rodney McGruder in some kind of Jones package. TJ would step right in and play heavy minutes for them, they trim some of that depth at the 2

100% agree. And they are currently starting Babbitt at the 4.

And we've done a few deals with them in the past where we basically were doing them a favor saving tax money. Apparently they got a "starting" PF out of one of the deals too

This is a franchise changing trade. Pelicans need to take full advantage. If they can sign another high end player this summer and form a Big 3, they can compete with San Antonio and Golden State.

We already have a big 3 imo. The only problem is that we don't have a decent 4 & 5 to go with them. Hopefully we can change that this coming offseason. It would be nice if Solomon keeps his recent offensive play up to go along with his defense.

A reasonable 4 and serviceable 5 and we headed in the right direction....

I wouldn't mind Wayne Ellington either

Good size and has a quality shot. Non guaranteed next year too(6 mil isn't bad though).

I'd also call up Indy and inquire about C.J miles

Id also love to bring morrow back as hed be a great fit on and off the court.

Portland could have severe buyers remorse on Crabbe.

Do we take that chance?

I would trade Jrue right now to the 76ers and force them to take Hill, Moore and Asik for Ilyasova and Rodriguez, will need a few more small pieces from the 76ers for it to work.

Would give the Pelicans the money to go get CP3 and another star. Best case would be Hayward and Lowry.

That's too good to be true...then again so is the Boogie trade.

Morrow could actually be had. OKC doesn't play him enough.

#Pelicans  should look hard at Quinn Cook and Hollis Thompson in the D-League.


Thompson is shooting 48% behind the arc for the Austin Spurs. He shot 38.9% on 917 attempts in the NBA. Do it Pelicans.



I forgot all about Hollis thompson.

The hell?

I had no idea he was in the Dleague,that's shocking considering he was developing into a quality bench shooter with great size.

Absolutely get him if you can. Shooting nearly 40% from 3 in Philly isn't easy.
