Do you remember the source?
No way the Pelicans would give up all of that for Poeltl, who'd be a good fit defensively, but a one poor offensively for them.
I’m sure they, like any team that pulls the trigger on Jakob by the deadline, will get assurances that he will reup with them. The new team gets his Bird rights to exceed the cap etc.
For Jakob what’s not to like about that awesome situation? Cant see many better aside from maybe the Raptors.
I jump on that but no way NOLA swaps that pick.
I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that'd be a significant overpay on the Pelicans part.
Jonas, Dyson, and the 24 Laker pick for Jak and KBD would help both teams
If you look at the Pels advanced stats it does look like Jonas is sticking out like a sore thumb.

They have underwhelmed so far especially defensively. Their supposed interest in Jak wouldn’t surprise me. Pels are in win-now mode.
Other teams I could see being interested in Jak
Raptors
Chicago (Vucevic sucks on defense)
I'll add Golden State, Charlotte and Boston
Good call, but I only think Jakob reups with NOLA, Raps, GSW. Boston is possible but he’ll always have Time Lord ahead of him, so that’s less appealing.
Apparently they’re super high on Dyson, but that would be sweet. Probably more like Jonás’s contract and two non-LAL picks.
Does Jonas 1 three point attempt per game really matter?
right now I'd be happy with bag of peanuts for Jak
That ATL pick is also unprotected,just like the LA pick.
Why has he played 5 games 47 minutes?
Lost 6 out of 7.
28th in the league with a -7 net rating when they were break even last year when getting into the play in game.
28th in defense.
25th in offense.
But yes, keep telling me how they're not tanking please.
Asset wise the Pels are a tough combo. No way do they surrender the Lakers picks and I cant imagine the Spurs would have much interest in the Bucks picks either. Daniels makes sense for the Spurs but not sure the Pels would pull the plug so quickly on a top 10 pick.
Dyson Daniels is still 19 and the Pelicans have McCollum, Alvarez, and Devonte' Graham, so it's no slight against him that he isn't getting big minutes early on in his rookie season. I doubt they'd trade Daniels straight up for Poeltl, and they certainly wouldn't attach other assets like picks to it. David Griffin, Trajan Langdon, & Swin Cash have been killin' it the last few years, and they're not going to give up that much to make a mostly sideways move, especially when Larry Nance Jr is doing such a good job and plays nearly as many minutes as Valanciunas ... if anything, they could start Nance and bring Jonas off the bench. Small sample size, but at this point both Nance and Jonas have better on/off stats than Poeltl. I like Poeltl, but the idea that he's going to bring back multiple net positive assets seems pretty unlikely at this point.

That would be an excellent trade. We get a somewhat proven talent in Murphy plus a promising young player in Daniels or Alvarado + a first. I'd hate to trade Poeltl but if you can get this return then I think it would be worth it even if the pick is a few years down the line. All theses guys could fit in with our young core.
Did the Pels FO suc b to smoking Crystal Meth?
Yeah. I can’t believe they’re people out there that still don’t think this front office is tanking.
Their record hasn’t bottomed out yet to what the advanced stats are point to.
Anyway - I’d be shocked if anyone gave the Spurs a 1st rd/pk for Jak.
No...they just want to win now and this helps them do that...you're inability to see it isn't required...
They can wait as long as they want now, their season is over.
Keep playing jrich at pg and nobody is gonna want his ass
I think that's the reality but, I don't think they realize it...those 'lakers' glasses they look at everything through is pretty compelling for them and usually compounds their problems....
The addiction isn’t the Pels, it’s that some guys here are addicted to trade talk. It doesn’t matter if a trade is practical, or possible, or makes any sense. They’ve got to have it. If they don’t get their “fix” of trade talk, their skin starts itching, and they start seeing pink elephants dance around the room.
