Niners Fan in CT Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 And the Grizz I have to assume will take Ja Morant and finally trade Conley. So are Knicks fans going to be thrilled with ball dominant RJ Barrett as a consolation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Does Zion make AD reconsider? Or do the Knicks try to use number 3 in a package still for Davis, and the Pelicans can go with two Duke studs that are presumably friends, and Holiday as their babysitter?

Jiji Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I already received a notification that no, AD is not going to reconsider and he still wants out within minutes of the lottery going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Well the Pelicans can trade AD for a boon and build around Zion and company. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 SO how many years is Zion stuck in New Orleans before he can jump to LA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Almost certainly a minimum of five. His initial two years, team options for years three and four, then restricted free agency where he can either sign an extension, sign the qualifying offer and play one more year without any really insurance against injury, or sign an offer sheet elsewhere that the Pelicans will almost certainly match.

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I'm already seeing people say Zion should have his agent put out word that he won't play for New Orleans. Well, why have this many franchises then? If all people wanna see is dudes in big markets why should the other teams exist? I think it's hilarious the Lakers and Knicks struck out. They mismanaged the hell out of their franchises for years now, with the Knicks they're working on decades of incompetence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the Pelicans getting that pick probably eliminates the Knicks from the AD trade running, for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the case of New Orleans it's more just the bad/weird ownership situation. It's partially why the AD trade didn't happen before the deadline.

Knox, the third pick, and whoever to round it out might still be the best package the Pelicans can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I predict AD to LA for the 4th pick and any number of those young guys. Knicks trade up a spot to land Ja. Also. Stephen A is the best promo guy in any business. Edited May 15, 2019 by Jrag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I can't imagine the Grizzlies giving up the #2 unless the Knicks make a flat out stupid offer. Hell, Utah and Detroit are both reportedly already kicking around a Conley trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Contentious C said: Looks like Tyreke Evans might have been eating a few too many of Redd Foxx's powdered donuts. For context Quote This afternoon, the NBA announced that Pacers guard and former rookie of the year Tyreke Evans has been “dismissed and disqualified from the league for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program.” The league said he will be eligible to apply for reinstatement in two years. No more information about Evans’s dismissal was publicly disclosed. Evans has never been previously suspended from the league for any drug-related offenses, so his punishment only fits with the terms of the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement if he tested positive for what the league defines as “drug of abuse.” per the CBA, “If a player tests positive for a Drug of Abuse during Random Testing or Reasonable Cause Testing, he will be dismissed and disqualified from the NBA.” The league’s list of Drugs of Abuse is as follows: “amphetamine and its analogs, benzodiazepines, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, LSD, opiates, and PCP.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
