The Pelicans to Magic/Lebron:

"You only get half a bar: fukk yall nikkas"

:ufdup:

Smh, oh Boston....always hopeful that GOAT franchise don’t make moves. Y’all got KG and Ray and all we needed was Pau to get wit y’all. If we pull this off I can see Kyrie signing with another team and Danny being stuck with hella assets and no one to trade for.

I heard Blake is available breh. :tu:

It still makes no sense to swap KP for AD if your concern is KP wanting to stay + looking the same after an injury (Knicks have been intentionally sitting him out this season FYI). You're still paying for AD's max this season and won't have any room to sign any good FAs to build a championship team. In that instance, AD has no reason to stay in New York. You'd risk having AD for half a year all the while losing KP (who has shown no indication that he wants to leave and is only about to be on his 2nd contract with no pressure to win a championship yet)
The knicks would almost certainly send back Hardaway if they include KP in an AD deal just for salary matching purposes .... Including him and stretching Lee would give the knicks upwards of 55-60 million to use in free agency... Thats plenty of space to add high end talent around AD

More like Pau, a KG career altering injury, a season ending injury to the starting center, and the refs.

:umad: Don't shoot the messenger. The Pels said that shyt, not me.

Boston is automatically out because they'd have to trade Kyrie if they want AD now (Rose Rule) so that makes no sense for them.

Knicks have assets too but realistically there's not much they can do. KP/AD would tie up their cap room and they won't be able to build a contending team. If they trade KP they'd be banking on landing KD/Kyrie/Kawhi in the summer.

Evaluating the options then, the Pels have to consider whether they want to rebuild or keep a solid team like the Clippers. If they want a complete rebuild, the only 2 teams that can offer good rebuild packages (they'd also be dealing Jrue somewhere else):

12 mil in cap relief and 3 of Ball/Ingram/Kuzma/Hart/Zubac/1st rd pick is hands down the best rebuild package they can get

+ Sixers throw in a 1st rd pick

12 mil in cap relief + Fultz + a rookie 1st-rounder in Zhaire + a 1st rd pick isn't bad but Lakers can easily beat that out. Which is why Sixers might have to go this route:

+ Sixers throw in a 1st rounder. This gives Pels a star player and a lot of cap flexibility as well as solid young pieces (sophomore no. 1 pick and a rookie 1st-rounder)

Raps can also offer

+ Raps 1st-round pick, but Lakers can easily beat that if they wanted to

Bucks, Houston, OKC, and Spurs would then all be offering pieces that keeps the Pels afloat with Jrue in the picture

The funny thing is Philly could easily jump to the front of the line here. All it would take is Ben Simmons and his shaky ass jumper.


:sas2:
Rich Paul is Simmons agent also, why send him to the same shythole you’re trying to rescue AD from and be in this situation 2-3 years from now
