    I mean obviously we don’t but the Pelicans maybe would. Or maybe not who knows. If they’re willing to let Jrue go in the first place they aren’t that bright.

    Plus we can call Jrue and James the JH BoyZ. Or throw in JJ and call them The Triple (or quadruple?) J’s. Which is the most important thing in all this.

    And if you think Jrue Holiday wouldn’t make us a better team than Russell Westbrook please don’t speak and expose your stupidity.

    Pelicans want no part of two hideous contracts

    I remember a time when the Pelicans were kings of idiot contracts.

    Plus Russ will boost their marketability even further in addition to Zion since they’ll feel like they have a better chance to win.

    Sometimes a lower market team will bite that bullet.

    Yeah but isn’t Jrue their Point? Haha. My “Point” is they’re already used to 2 point guard lineups.

    And ball shot 38% from 3 this year so they might not be as hesitant to throw out a Russ/Ball combo.

    What deal do you see out here that’s better than this one?

    Cause this would actually make us a better team I see every other team out there giving us pennies on the dollar for Russ.

    Pelicans have Zion so getting marketability will never be an issue. Plus Russ will only impede Zions growth

    Why not have the pelicans throw in zion too since we're dreaming.

    Nah he coming off 15 points a game shooting 45% from 3 he doubt he’s going anywhere for now.

    Especially if he got a shot at a ring. This trade would get us back in that conversation.

    Yeah but I said “boost” their marketability even further.

    It’s a big difference in prime time games and future ticket sales between “Young superstar” and “Young superstar playing on a contender”.

    I feel like Russ will have them thinking they’re in that conversation.

    I would do it if they put ingram in the deal otherwise no deal. May need a third team. Again I don’t pretend to be GM. Not sure if numbers work. I love jrue and ingram can be the second option. Okafor and gordon should be in there as well. I’m not big on reddick. As far as i know his defense is atrocious. Doesn’t necessarily make us better.

    If clippers still involved i would be intrigued of a PG13 deal with other players involved maybe shamet. The pelicans deal would be more enticing.

    Ahhh if only the Pelicans were ok with getting shafted and not the other way around...they know Russ wants out. They know we’ll need them more than they need us. We’ll have to pay a tax.
