    I would consider giving up our draft capital for a young superstar... Davis doesn't qualify and there aren't many young superstars out there.

    I was curious what the limit people would have. Lower than me and i didn't want to move anyone that would be here beyond next season...

    Picks are nice but at some point you need to gamble less...

    My concern was there wouldn't be one btween now and a year from now...

    Spider Mitchell is nice but you aren't going to harm Green's development to get him...

    KAT? Who else could come available? I'm not holding my breath for Luka, Trae, etc.

    no worries here, folks just like having some fun in threads like this. two or three years ago, I think folks would have been all over this. now, not so much. too much fun watching the youngsters all by themselves, win or lose. ;)

    Nothing. That man flat out ditch/force the pelicans to let him leave for the la lights. Why waste assets on him if he's gonna bounce at the first chance he gets back to LA?

    Not even factoring how injury prone he is.


    We should use our assets on someone else.

    I'm curious if it would help draw a free agent having Davis with our core...

    Not saying i do this, but imagine something like:

    PG Harden or some other free agent
    SG Green
    SF Tate
    PF Davis
    C Sengun

    Bench
    Jabari Smith
    kevin Porter
    Josh Christopher
    Kenyon Martin

    That's a contender if Green is the real deal...

    I get it with Davis... dude is made of glass...

    But if he wasn't he's costing more than what the Nets gave for Harden.....

    Wood, Wall, and Gordon are all guys people want dumped anyways... how many rookies can you play? Where does the Brooklyn pick in the late lottery get on the floor?

    I would hope a better option comes along but I would rather gamble on Davis than get left holding the bag with little to show with our cap space...

    There's a few players that I don't want at all, but recognize their talent:

    Ben Simmons
    Anthony Davis
    Irving
    Zion
    Westbrook

    Considering the he has an injury history, plus he has never been able to carry teams on his own, i pass.

    I agree on all but Davis if the cost is basically guys we want gone... not willing to give up any potentially top 10 picks or even kpj...

    I think the other guys on your list either hurt the development of our core or have Shawn Kemp disease...

    Kyrie can be held down and vaccinated and his talent is interstellar.

    We have zero calorie Anthony Davis at home and possibly white Anthony Davis on the way.

    How much AD do you need?
