New Orleans drew the rights to Zion Williams, will Anthony Davis stay with The Pelicans now ?..

    Judasdurant. If The Lakers are still in it New Orleans' leverage is still really strong. They want to play for titles while Lebron still has enough in the tank to dominate. Also Lakers' new management now has the failed 2018/2019 season to inform it, they know the current roster doesn't mesh.

    If you're the Hawks, could you put together a package for Davis? Don't know that Schlenk would go for it seeing that GS is the model he came from. They weren't built by selling the farm to get a star.

    All the Pelican fans I talk to down here want to keep Davis along with Williamson. They are saying that combo of the 2 is good for 20-25 more wins next year. If they trade Davis they better get a lot for him or NOLA will see riots in the streets lol. They are saying he is not that unhappy he just wants to contend

    No reason to get a rental on a team not ready to compete for titles.

    PTDawg. First off I think Davis has veto power over any trade that would evolve him. Second as mentioned anybody that gives up a lot of assets will need something close to iron clad that he'll be there long term, a sign and trade maybe.

    Local news out of NOLA is saying 2000 more season tickets were sold than after last year's lottery, they are saying Davis is odds on to stay after being told Williamson was THE only pick and no way they are trading it.

    I'd trade him myself. I'd call each teamnalready knowing what I wanted.

    Knicks - #3 pick (RJ back with Zion), Knox/ Smith Jr, Robinson, and future picks.

    Celtics - Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, a big contract to even expenses, #20 pick, 2022 pick

    Lakers - Kuzma, Ingram, Lonzo, and #4 pick


    I like the Knicks pick because its a 3 man race for best players in draft and then its a drop off and besides the Celtics Brown and Tatum I dont think theres a more talented player getting traded than RJ at #3.

    Of course Pelicans fans want that, but I don't see Zion worth 20-25 more wins for the Pelicans. That would put them at 53-58 wins. No way those two with Holiday are getting that unless AD plays like the MVP. If I'm AD, I still want out. He's only got a few prime years left to cement a legacy.

    Ingram, Kuzma and the 4th pick in this year's draft would be mighty tempting if there was an elite prospect at 4 in this draft. As it is that deal might hinge on how Pelicans' management views Ingram, the kid looks pretty special in his own right. Kuzma is good, but not special.

    I see the Hawks may go for Reddish. Personally I’d rather have Hachimura

    I have to say, I am extremely disappointed with how the lottery played out. Could it have gone any worse for the Hawks? They would have been better off if the Mavs had hit at 4.

    Hachimura is a defensive liability. I can't see adding a poor defender to what was already the worst scoring defense in The NBA going back 28 years. That's right, the last time ANY NBA team gave up as many PPG as The Hawks gave up in 2018/2019 was 28 years ago. They are simply atrocious at defense. Move up and take Hunter or Culver. Both are all around players who can play in a motion offense and both are plus defenders.

    As for our 2nd pick in the 1st rd. Please watch highlights of French SF/PF Sekou Doumbouya. Most of those highlights were shot before he turned 18 years old. Now imagine the guy at 21 years old.

    I've never been that enamored of Hachimura. I think they can do better.

    Don’t care: not UGA sports or Atlanta Braves.
