^ That was not intended to be actual rude, but was nonetheless. Sorry. No hard feelings, man. Just felt like something I had to post given the conversation we had just one day before. And I was just as sensitive to the Butler trade talks last year, not to mention the Gordon Hayward fiasco on the 4th of July. Yeah, I have two favorite teams. And they both lost their best player within a couple weeks of one another. So trust me, I know how much it sucks.

It's getting a lot of raised eyebrows, both with fans and the local press. The GM and owner know damn well trading him is greatly opposed. They'll do what they want, of course, but I hope putting him on the block was strictly exploratory (and maybe get teams to take a harder look at our other trade-able assets).

Cousins had to be helped off the court tonight. Man, I really hope he's ok

Pistons are in serious trade talks for Blake Griffin.

Supposed deal would be: Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, and a first-round pick.

Yeah man. I can’t blame the Pistons for going for it I also think the idea of deandre Jordan on his lonesome there would be hilarious after his free agency thing

Clippers get Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic and Detroit's 2018 first round pick and 2019 second round pick. I just love this trade for the Clippers.

Also, I'm going to predict that Avery Bradley is going to be traded back to Boston. Using their injury exception from the Hayward injury, they can acquire him without even giving up any salary in the deal. I'm guessing their own 2018 first-rounder gets it done.
It makes too much sense. Avery Bradley has always played well against Golden State, and Boston would want him to defend Curry in a potential finals series. He also provides insurance in case Brown/Tatum start to fade down the stretch.

Apparently Nico almost just got dealt to the Pelicans for Asik and a first rounder but it fell apart. Hopefully some version of that still happens because it seems like a good deal for us.

Oh wow, will garpax be able to pull off a trade that actually adds draft picks?
edit: maybe not

I know this trade fell apart, but I love how Garpax are willing to take on the 2 years left of Omer Asik's contract and pay $20 mil for Asik/Felicio the next two years, but they needed to sell Jordan Bell for 3.5 mil.

Yeah, they're basically saying the 15th pick (or wherever NO is going to end up) is worth $15 million dollars, whereas the 38th pick isn't worth $3.5 mil. It's a pretty damning statement against their scouting and player development departments that they don't think they're able to find first-round talent in the early part of the second round, while that's what good franchises like San Antonio have been doing for the better part of two decades and even more recently the Warriors have done for the past few years (Bell, McCaw, Draymond)

Obviously anything is possible if Garpax is trying to make deals, but I feel like there's probably some more stuff going on that wasn't being widely reported. KC Johnson is saying there was an unnamed player from the Pelicans involved. Not sure who that is to make Mirotic+$14.3 mil of dead cap for a mid to late 1st round pick fair, but it definitely makes sense that something else was involved. If the Pelicans rejected the trade being widely reported, they'd be more incompetent than garpax.

If the Pelicans rejected the trade being widely reported, they'd be more incompetent than garpax. Niko is making $12.5 mil this year. Asik is making $10.5 mil this year. New Orleans is hard-capped, so they can't acquire more salary than they're sending out. They would have to send out an additional $2 mil to make this deal work financially. That unnamed player would likely be Tony Allen, who makes just over $2 mil on an expiring contract. The "unnamed player" is not the hangup here. It's the Pelicans' unwillingness to guarantee Mirotic's team option for next season because they want the flexibility of being able to negotiate with Cousins (and/or other free agents) this summer. That's the entirety of it. And you can't blame Niko for being unwilling to turn down an additional $12.5 mil when he could just as easily blow his achilles/knee/whatever and be shit out of luck for his next contract.
