    Jennings isn't a type of fish, the "not Jennings" is only in reference to their same first name. (Brandon Jennings - Jennings = ??????)

    I would hate for the new thing you learn today to be wrong.

    The Pelicans are reportedly listening to trade offers for Tyreke Evans (right knee).
    Evans is currently questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings, but it sounds like he could be on the move. The Pelicans are reportedly gauging his value on the market as he's due to make $10.2 million next season. We'll keep an eye on this situation, but an Evans trade would boost the fantasy value of both Jrue Holiday and Norris Cole.

    Codman on FIREE!!

    Yeah I'd hate for you, Malakas, to learn something wrong.

    Jennings isn't a type of fish.

    Jennings are in fact a type of women's fish net stockings that are made from blue jean materials.

    He said he didn't like the price though. Wonder what the Pelicans want?

    I'm guessing Ariza and Capela. Maybe even Dmo

    How good would y'all say Evans is? He seems good against us but I don't watch many other Pelicans games. I feel like the ones I did watch he wasn't even playing. He seems to get to the basket well and plays some d

    If he's healthy---if that knee isn't actually wonky, just could-be-traded b.s. "injury"---then having someone who can play so many spots on the floor, gets assists, etcetera? Good.

    If his health is a real question mark, then this better be a non-starter.

    Yeah, I think our chances of getting Tyreke are very low. Lakers could swoop in and offer more, etc.

    The most realistic target would be Brandon Bass. It's a low risk move. You could give the Lakers KJ/T-Jones/Terry(gets waived and signs with Dallas) for Bass/Young/2nd round pick.

    Then if we need to move Lawson, we can. We'd have an open roster spot, so it could be a 2 for 1 type deal.

    Why would the Lakers want Tyreke Evans? They need to tank hard to keep their top 3 pick.

    If the Lakers want to tank, maybe we should give them Corey Brewer for an optional top 50 pick.

    New Orleans prefer to trade Gordon and then Rhyno. But I think his price isn't anything like here. Much lower.
    And quite honestly I think the fit with Harden will be godawful. I prefer if it doesnt' happen.
    Bass on the other hand it's a great idea, and can be acquired by sending them like a high second in value. KJ would do. (unless KJ's salary makes it impossible for them to offer the contracts they want, in which case they would want either a pick or an expiring).

    To be fair, I avoid watching the Lakers nowadays. In the past, I would go into fits watching the refs fellate Kobe. But now the team is a sad sack of **** and watching them play now is almost sad....which is like saying I feel sympathy for my health insurance company.

    Is Bass still a good player? Again, I don't watch their games, But he probably doesn't move the needle for us. And Morey probably values KJ more than our "coach" does.

    he is nothing special. Forget Kj then. You can get Bass for Thornton (has to agree to a trade) and a second rounder.

    Before Love makes Houston a contender, Houston needs to make Love come.

    Lawson for Thaddeus Young, Larkin, and Sloan

    The Nets get to be a player in 2016 FA and rebuild with Johnson's $25 million off the books and Lawson's expiring.

    http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zyer94c
    Capela, Thornton, and Jones for Mirotic

    The Bulls get the rim protection and 3pt shooting they desperately need.

    Howard/Smith/D-Mo
    Mirotic/Young/Harrell
    Ariza/Brewer
    Harden/Terry
    Beverley/Larkin/Sloan

    If the Nets say no:
    http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zq7jegh

    Lawson for Williams, Nick, and Black

    Howard/Black
    Mirotic/Smith/D-Mo
    Ariza/Nick/Brewer
    Harden/Louie
    Beverley/Terry

    I'm all in for that Thad trade. I'd have a hard time giving up Capela (not even to mention the other guys) for Mirotic, who I actually like a lot.

    They could get Love AND Dragic and they still wouldn't be better than the Warriors or Spurs.
