Build the Pelicans into a contender

[Captain Crunch]

Trade Jrue to the T-Wolves for Bazz and a 2020 lotto protected pick.
Ship Ryan to the highest bidder in February.
Trade Gordon to the highest bidder in Febuary
Trade Evans in the summer.
Draft BPA in June
Go hard after Durant in FA, if they can't get him, overpay Jennings and Courntey Lee to 1-2 yr deals.

Jennings
Lee
Simmons/Ingram
AD
Asik

After the 2016-2017 season, go hard after in FA.

Probably zero chance something like this would happen, but this is what I came up with:

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=nutx982

Anderson, Holiday and Gee to the Heat for Whiteside, Deng and McRoberts. It'd be their roll of the dice that they can retain Whiteside and pair him with Davis which could be a monster front court.

The Heat could have a crunch time lineup of Dragic, Wade, Green, Anderson and Bosh. Great spacing with that unit.

 

[WuDatWuDat]

Trade Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday, Tyreke and the rest of the team for Young Sabo.

Westbrook
Free Agent
Free Agent
Free Agent
Free Agent


Instant contender.

Trade Tyreke. He's not a long term piece for their team. Focus on finding a PG (who can shoot). Get shooters around Davis and players who can deliver the ball on a pnr.

 

[NOSaintsFan02]

theyve actually looked like a half decent team since he came back instead of one of the worst in the league

he's their second best player and this is such an idiotic comment. they finally starting competing in games once he got back and he helped them a lot last year.

Yall must be going by the highlights yall see and stats lol. Clearly, and no fault of yall, do yall watch this team game to game. Tyreke's basketball IQ is LAUGHABLE. He's not the only problem, but he's a problem. The front office definitely realizes by now how much of a hindrance Tyreke is to the team. He's not horrible talent wise, he'll win us a few games, but he's not putting us over the edge either.

This team's basketball IQ is laughable, while we have overpaid players who's performances aren't worth their $ (Gordon), we traded for an injured guy (Holiday) and hired a coach while re-signing players who are a bad fit under him (Asik). Dell needs to go.

 

[Osmosis]

Okay, then if it's completely hypothetical, why doesn't N.O. just trade for Harden, Curry, KD and DeMarcus Cousins?

Who cares if it's not even remotely feasible in terms of salary cap, or that the Pelicans don't have a single above-average trade asset, or that no other NBA team would trade a top-5 player. It's hypothetical, right?

Eat this neg, you fukking clown.

@Rigby. is 14 or 15

Once you know that you understand and even appreciate his posts a lot more

that asik contract is up there for WOAT tbh. he was massively overpaid on his last contract, even though he's good defensively, and they managed to give him a worse one.

 

[Gobzilla]

Gordon and Anderson for Oladipo and Frye

 

[#SOG_soldier]

Trade ad bum ass for sashay vujaic. :5-0:

 

[The_Third_Man]

we have to admit, AD defense is overrated.

 

[NatiboyB]

But why would the Jazz give up their top 5 draft pick from a year ago AND their first round pick this year for a so called injury prone player like Jrue Holiday breh?

They wouldn't the only other scenario I have is a

Derrick Rose for Holiday/Gordon type of deal under the idea that Rose could maybe regain form or at least produce more than Holiday...But if Holiday is injury prone Than Rose is a walking injury.
