ZION signs with CAA, CP3 to the Pelicans more probable.

You better watch out. Pretty soon, he's going to offer you Tony Snell for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown because it's obvious you need a 3/D guy next to Kyrie instead of those ball hogs.

LOL. Let me address point by poo t.

3: are you actually saying that signing a player slated to make $123 million over the next 3 seasons creates cap space for NO? LOL

It does because it raises their limit before lux tax to 132M for next season, 144M for 20/21 season and 156M for 21'22 season.

5: nope. Free agency won't line up for CP3 and Russell.

It will if Russell insists on a 4 year extension but with P.O. for the 4th...

7: If they keep AD. And despite what you say, they aren't keeping AD beyond the trade deadline.

We'll see... If you think that Clutch will leave the Pelicans entirely on CAA's hands now they got Zion, you are fooling on your self...

8: Zion alone will fill the arena.

He will during the first few months, but not entirely thereafter and certainly not if the Pels won't make it deep in the playoffs.

You forgot "you are all "trolls" for "arguing" with me"

 

[buckalis]

AD's mind has nothing to do with the Pelicans not trading him...

 

[CitySushi]

Just waiting for the: Warriors are over the tax line, so they're going to trade Steph Curry to the Grizzlies for Chandler Parsons trade proposal.

According OP, I think fair value would be AD, Holiday and 3 future 1st round picks for CP3 and Iman Shumpert.

Sounds about right to me.

Actually it's 4x1sts and 7x2nds + CP3 + Capela + Harden...

1. They are looking for a starting PG with "prestige" and experience.
2. They can afford him easy.
3. He creates cap space for them to use in the future without ever paying lux tax.
4. They establish great relations with Zion's management
5. They become the favorites to add DA Russell next to ZION after CP3's contract expires.
6. They create huge cap space so that they can offer AD a super max and still not pay a penny in lux tax.
7. They secure a place in the playoffs for next season
8. They'll have their arena full for as long as the season lasts with CP3, Holiday, Zion, Randle & AD starting line up.

THey have Holiday.....or did you forget about him? He's a lot younger and cheaper.

No.

Taking on Chris Paul's contract does not "create cap space" in any real world unless they trade Jrue and AD for him.

DLo is not going to "insist" on a 3 year deal so he can go to NOLA in 2022. He will almost surely get the RFA max which is 4 years.

You continue to fool yourself.

I took an IQ test once... I knew so much stuff, it like overloaded the machine... and the machine started fizzing and smoking... and then the machine finally exploded... and the President gave me a plaque that said "Smartest Guy Ever"... and I currently work as like the top intelligence guy at the NSA... I break codes and sh!t like that all day long... whatever they need like brainpower on, they just put that file on my desk and I'm like "Sh!t, guys, that's an easy one... give me something hard next time!!"

LOL.

Best rebuttal ever.

Zion Williamson has signed with CAA for his managment, he now shares the same management with Chris Paul right at a time that the Pelicans are in need for a PG that would make justice to the rest of their starting roster on Holiday, Williamson, Randle and AD as to contend...

OTOH, the Rockets made it clear that CP3 is available for a trade, but the sports analysts don't see much of interest in the market given CP3's huge contract with respect to his age...

I think a trade that would land CP3 to the Pelicans is all the more probable now... what do you think?

I couldn't wrong, but HelllNooooo

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Why in the world would the Pelicans want CP3's contract?

Complete desperation, stupid enough to think AD and CP3 Combined would make them contenders long enough to convince to resigning and being totally whacked out lsd or speed

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I will be shocked if CP or AD are on the pelicans next season

If you see that, only because you slept so sound that seemed real

 

[True Lakers Fan]

LOL. Let me address point by poo t.

1: maybe
2: they can afford him if they dump Hill and Moore, but not easily
3: are you actually saying that signing a player slated to make $123 million over the next 3 seasons creates cap space for NO? LOL
4: maybe
5: nope. Free agency won't line up for CP3 and Russell.
6: Again, you don't create cap space by taking on $17 million in salary next year, and $41 million in 2020.
7: If they keep AD. And despite what you say, they aren't keeping AD beyond the trade deadline.
8: Zion alone will fill the arena.

More like running away as fast as possible.

Well, fortunately for the Pels, we aren't talking about the real world. We're talking buck-Alice world.
