Would you take the risk of gutting the team to get Davis expiring?

Would you trade Capela, Gordon and two, three or four future 1st rounders to get Davis expiring?

    Sure. But Houston won't win a title with one superstar, one rapidly declining (former?) star, and a bunch of role players. Taking a shot with two superstars feels like a better option.

    You would probably have to include PJ, but that still may not be enough compared to what LA and Boston can offer.

    If something like this went down I think I would actually faint. I’m trying not get my hopes up then you go and post a thread like this lol.

    What might make me lean towards doing it that IF we don't win the chip and IF Davis still walks, there's the possibility of dumping CP3 and his $40M a year the next summer and have enough cap space to land a different max guy and some other weaponry. Kind of a mini-rebuild.

    Tough call.

    Luckily, whatever we "gut" the team with will be topped by a team with better assets and better picks.

    Yes, I remember when the Thunder traded for superstar Kevin Martin.

    I assume they want high picks and high upside young guys

    In a heartbeat, but New Orleans would never do that.

    They’re not going to accept completely basketball irrelevancy for Capela, a guy they’ve already had and some late draft picks.

    So would I. Would probably also exchange out Gordon for Paul if he was preferred. But would the Pelicans?

    I would do it as long as he doesn't say he WON'T extend and 2 of those picks are top 4 protected. He doesn't have to guarantee he stays with us.

    Davis/Hart
    Tucker/Clark
    House
    Harden
    Paul

    Are you kidding me? No one wins a series against that team. Not even peak Durant's Warriors.
