    Lists don't mean jack chit to Morey. Scared money don't make none.

    Milwaukee has Giannis. Enough said.

    I still don't get this approach from AD/Klutch.

    1 - everyone knows what this is

    2 - NOP were already saying no to the LAL offers and aren't going to just say "ok" to becoming the Louisiana Lakers just "because".

    I don't see how today's list does anything... EXCEPT maybe up the LAC's prospective offers.

    This was the plan all along. The Pelicans had removed him from their marketing and announced that everyone was available. They're sending him to LA, no matter what. They were just trying to squeeze as much as they could from LA as possible.

    Superstars don’t wanna play with Harden

    I am aware of all that...still, stars are not checking for us

    When will the day come where a star in his prime wants out and says that Houston would be 1 of the teams he’d be willing to sign with long-term? Only in my dreams I guess...

    Bledsoe has Rich Paul as agent.
    Maybe its them throwing a PR goodwill crumb to improve relationships in the face of his upcoming free agency.

    This is the part where someone says CP3 just wanted the supertax but he actually left a year on the table here....

    In the past decade, has any star player seriously considered the Rockets other than Dwight and CP? (James was traded here)

    Horford and Reddick supposedly but they’re hardly stars at their peak. Bosh was declining heavily when he considered us.

    It’s crazy how terrible the Knicks and Lakers have been for the past 9-10 years yet just because of location they’re always seriously considered. AD literally wouldn’t from any player more, than James Harden. Just ridiculous to me how he doesn’t even consider that. Makes me so bitter.

    I sincerely doubt Davis gets moved by Thursday’s trade deadline, no matter how pressure Rich Paul and Klutch Sports try to put on the Pelicans organization.

    Woj is essentially working for the Lakers and Shams is repping the Pelicans in this deal right?

    Not true...

    We were on CP3’s list (obviously), Lebron’s (last June), Butler’s (this year), and of course, Melo’s for the last 2yrs.

    Weren’t we also connected to PG13 in one of the last two years, too?

    Well Dwight and CP3 chose us, although not at the peak of their career(still in their prime the year they joined us, but declined unexpectedly in the next year). They're both MVP-caliber players in their prime, their aren't many players of the same level as or higher than those two demanded a trade or switched team as an FA in the past 10 years, Lebron, KD, Kawhi, AD, that's it, 2 out of 6 chose us, better than any other teams in the NBA, not bad at all.

    If Davis just wanted a good team with future or great culture then let alone Boston, Denver would be there and the Spurs. And Toronto.
    Why arent they? Because they actually have assets to trade for him.

    I hope Bucks and Pelicans call their bluff, circulate some rumors that it's in final stages :D

    Hill, Bledsoe, Smith, Maker, Divicenzo, 2 picks
    for
    Holiday and Davis

    Get tankin' right away and cap space from this summer Pelicans!
