Finding a 3rd team is the Lakers' only shot to get a deal done before the deadline. Not sure New Orleans wants to make an AD deal before the deadline. I think the only way that a deal gets done before the deadline is if the Pelicans are significantly higher on the Lakers' youngsters OR if AD threatens to sit out the rest of the season.

The lowest the Suns can fall is 4 spots so I’m going at least top-7 protected. New lotto system is funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The Pistons have a trash roster. Trying to look and see if a deal could work out to move Drummond (swap for Gordon Heyward or absolutely not happening jumping into the AD sweepstakes) and there just isn't a secondary piece that's worth anything to anyone. No good expiring contracts, no underpaid vets that could help a team. Just a bunch of bad contracts and crap talent other than Blake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like people here are giving Dell Demps the benefit of the doubt, they shouldn't, in terms of giving them Lonzo. Demps has to be gone after AD leaves. Outside of Anthony Davis he's been horrendous in the draft, and yes you get an F every time you trade your picks for players that wont help. Although, Noel and MCW are bad it doesn't dismiss how terrible he's been with trading away picks for garbage. They traded the one player they drafted who was any good. I'm surprised Demps still has a job today. tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensTillIDie Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I wonder if the Sixers would be down to do this trade:Sixers Receive: -Nikola Mirotic Pelicans Receive: -Markelle Fultz -Zhaire Smith With the Sixers in win-now mode, they get a great offensive option off the bench and shore up the 4 spot. Additionally, they take Fultz $8M off the books for the next 3 years and are left with Nikola's $12M expiring contract, which then allows them more room to re-sign Jimmy Butler. Pelicans get the former #1 overall draft pick and potentially give him the reigns to the offense following the departure of AD. They also get a developmental player in Smith.

So you trade last year's 1st and this year's 1st for a 3 month rental on a player who barely moves the needle. That's a Washington Wizards/Memphis Grizzlies trade if I've ever seen one.

Plus Rozier is a very good defender. I think it would be a great fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavensTillIDie Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Okay, how about this trade (executed as two separate deals since Ariza has to be traded individually)? Sixers Receive: -Bradley Beal -Trevor Ariza -Jeff Green Wizards Receive: -Markelle Fultz -Zhaire Smith -Furkan Korkmaz -Wilson Chandler -Landry Shamet -Justin Patton -Jonah Bolden -Amir Johnson -2019 1st Round Pick (unprotected) -2021 1st Round Pick -2021 Heat 1st Round Pick Simmons/McConnell Beal/Redick Butler/Brewer Ariza/Green Embiid/Muscala Arguably the best team in the East. And the Wizards get to let Fultz run the offense for the remainder of the season and potentially try to trade Wall in the offseason as part of a complete rebuild around Fultz.
