    Maybe Iago ("Rich Paul") started whispering in his ear: "LeBron. Lakers. Maximize......your earning potential!"

    "But I love New Orleans."

    "Be honest with me. How many times can you go to the French Quarter? Café du Monde? Aren't you sick of gumbo by now?"

    So let me get this straight. Between now and this summer, the following will happen:
    1. We give up whatever assets it takes to acquire John Wall without somehow waving a white flag on our playoff hopes
    2. He recovers from surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon, sufficiently to play by May
    3. We "rehab" him by showing the rest of the league how much better he is than before
    4. Teams beat a path our door, showering us with valuable assets, along with gold baubles and trinkets, for this new MegaSuperstar
    5. Clint Capela is no longer wearing a Rockets jersey
    Do I have correctly captured the sequence of your wet dream?

    Tbf to holic here these comments were pre Achilles injury. Obviously you don't touch him with a ten foot pole now.

    I don't know if you've ever read any of his posts, I sure haven't for awhile and my newsletter subscription has lapsed, but I'm pretty sure that this a mere prelude to a double-down. It's more imperative than ever to acquire Wall, now that he's total negative value and will have to be combined with an asset to be moved.

    He wants to be a starter.

    Raptors have made Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas available.

    With the way other teams avoid trading with us like we have the cooties or something I would be happy If we come away with 1 serviceable player before the deadline.

    Usually the smaller trades that could happen are on hold until everyone sees what's happening with the big fish.

    Basically, until near Thursday deadline, either AD gets traded, or New Orleans holds onto him until the summer. (If he's dealt now, we might be able to trade with Boston. If not, we won't; Boston holds onto their chips. And so on.)

    When AD's fate is known (stay or go), that's when the prunes and Raisin Bran, stewed zucchini and lentils kick in: good-bye constipation. The dyke bursts. The turds flow. Kind of an Ents-and-Isengard thing.

    Ya'll don't know that by now?

    If nothing or 1 deal happens, Locke is a patsy.

    So what would it take to get Kevin Huerter in our starting lineup.

    That is a name, that I would not mind seeing at our 3 spot.

    Has some size, good feet, and reminds me of Klay.
