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

[CaptainStubing]

AD will surely be there... the Pelicans have made it clear that they won't trade him. But I believe CAA will be doing everything in their power as to achieve CP3 joining ZION now that the Pelicans are looking for a PG to add in their starting roster.
Ideally CAA should want D'Angelo Russell (who also is with CAA) to join up with Zion, but I don't believe that the Nets are prepared to loose Russell at this stage...
I won't be surprised though if Russell renews for only 3 more seasons with the Nets so that he will be a free agent by the time CP3's contract expires.

I would be willing to bet money AD will be traded.

-100% not this off season...
-90% he will resign an extension with the Pels by Feb.
-10% he will be traded by Feb's deadline.

They may replace Randle though, so that they create even more cap space...

The F.O. of the Pels seems to be doing the smartest thing...

They will start the season based on a Holliday-Zion-AD core at SG, SF or PF and CF and add a PG (CP3 looks to be very possible) and either Randle or a replacement (depending on whether the coach will decide to play Zion at SF or at PF), then add bench depth and turn the team to a "win now" one...

Then by Feb, if they rank anywhere above 5th in the West, they'll suggest a contract extension to AD (which he will most probably accept), if he doesn't, they 'll then trade him.

But I think Clutch will be advising AD to stick where he is... They won't let the Pelicans entirely to CAA's hands with the team turning to contenders (with AD or not in the roster).

You do realize that CAA is just an agency and that they're not trying to pair all of their guys up on teams, don't you? CAA doesn't control whom gets controlled where. So I don't understand how CAA is going to influence a trade anywhere; especially as it relates to Paul and Zion playing together.

Holy god this is just bad.

It's exactly the opposite, CAA now has a "winning horse" on Zion and the faster their horse wins, the more the HUGE profits in both short and long term for them... They'll "help" the Pelicans the best they can to win now and in the future... OTOH, Clutch will ask AD to stay there, so that they get their slice...

NBA is basketball, but above all it's business...

He's giving them a run for their money.

Agencies make their money based on a percentage of their client's income - contract and endorsements mainly. Agencies don't have an influence on moves being made, or in this case - CAA has no influence on David Griffin making a trade. You're unrealistic thinking that CAA runs the NBA, or for that matter, Klutch.

I think it is somewhere between 10-20%.

I'm not saying that CCA "runs the NBA" as you suggest... All I'm saying is that the sooner and more success Zion will have, the more their share and even more attractive they'll be as to attract future "hot" contracts...

Off course it's Griffin (partly) running the Pelicans, what their job now is to the best of their (and Zion's) interest, is for Zion to make the most loud entrance and this, coincides with the Pelicans and Griffin's interests... Clutch OTOH, I believe will be advising AD to stay there (which also coincides with Griffin's and the Pels interests), so that they (and AD) can get their slice...

...Agencies don't have an influence on moves being made...

Oh really? ...don't they? Don't be naive man...

This whole post screams bat shit retarded.

And me being naive is outstanding coming from you. The same guy that thinks Milwaukee will re-sign Middleton (who made an all-star team this year) to a MLE.

Who ever said that "Milwaukee will re-sign Middleton to a (an) MLE" mate?

(you should say "an" because MLE is not a word but Initials the first of which is spelled "eM")

Oh, we're playing the grammar game on a forum now. And it was you that said he should sign for the MLE.

Is it true Paul George will be playing in Milwaukee next year? Thought I heard that.

 

[buckalis]

I guess if you don't provide evidence that I ever said "Middleton will resign with the Bucks for a(n) MLA", then you prove yourself far more than a NAIVE who said "Agencies don't have an influence on moves being made"...
It additionally proves you
1. A liar
2. A troll
3. A slanderer

Therefore... either bring the post of me ever saying "Middleton will resign with the Bucks for a(n) MLA" up... or... Shut your fucking mouth up! ...fucking naive, liar, troll and slanderer deepshit!

Yep. According to buck-Alice, they're gonna trade Snell for PG.

Where is the link of me ever saying that the "Bucks will trade Snell for PG" Liar, Troll and slanderer DEEPSHIT? Please provide the link as to ridicule me, or you ridicule yourself, so... shut your fucking mouth up!
