We'll take every one of them!!

NOLA is my favourite city in the US and now it looks like the Pelicans will get Zion. Bandwagon ho!

 

[the harry]

Was excited when we landed Boogie a bit ago. This is next level though.

Completely changes things.

 

[Scotland]

NOLA have $92m of contracts for next season including Davis who wants out.

Who wants to join Jrue and Zion in the NOLA? KD? Kyrie? Klay? Kemba? Kawhi?

 

[MadTigerFan]

Really good for the Pelicans, they deserve some good luck for once.

Hopefully Tony Davis stays, gonna be plenty enough limelight now.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

We existed before Davis, and we will continue to exist. We'll find another star, it's what we do. We may even find one who wants to stay with us.

I know my team. I really know my team.

Son of Skeletor we are getting Zion.
Take care of my baby

However this guy knows all. Always.

News.com.au article says unfortunately pelicans have landed the number one pick. Not sure if a Knicks fan boy wrote that. I love basketball, don't really have an NBA team so I'm pleased for the pelicans after all the AD stuff.

Jump aboard.

We accept all applications, as evidenced by our former mascot.

Just read an earnest Laker fan trade proposal, making it possible for Davis to play with his pal LeBron- Jrue and Zion to the Lakers for LeBron & pick 4.

They're so cute.

I don't care what the topic or the team. That's such poor standard journalism.

 

[Klyntonius]

Also, I hope rumours of a uniform makeover are true. I don't mind our navies, but our generic block red unis make me want to gouge my eyes out. Give me the mardi gras colours, or at least something halfway original.

How about this for a uni option? If we don't want red (which actually seems quite popular on that twitter post) perhaps a/the mardi gras version instead.

Any chance Davis stays now we've landed Williamson?

 

[Klyntonius]

Yes but extremely slim.

Yes but extremely slim.

Is there a general feel about what we'll receive in return if he leaves. The NBA site is far too laggy for me.

The feel is very general with a very wide range of opinions. There seems to be a good half dozen or more legitimate potential suitors. I don't think we'll get the ultimate motherload deal that we seek but we should be able to acquire a pretty significant haul.

Much prefer these.

Would rather true mardi gras purple and green to red, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

The red blocks need to die.

On board with that. The red isn't great... the dogs had a horrible red one I disliked too. Sometimes it works, others it looks pretty ordinary.

 

[Dr Awkward]

Question is, do they try and build with young guys around Zion and get draft picks for Davis, or do they try and bring in experienced guys and go for playoffs straight away.

 

[Klyntonius]

Probably depends on Davis. If they can flip him into staying then try with the quick build. Most likely though, trade Davis and build through youth (though a trade for Boston's youth could be a hybrid of both).

Would be a big fan of getting rid of our navy jerseys and going with the statement jerseys full time

So far my favourite seriously suggested AD trade is Davis and Holiday for Lonzo and pick 4.

Actually, pick 3 and Knox - take it or leave it - might be even better...

When you say favourite...

The dude correctly suggested the Pelicans go for the best deal but then genuinely thought that was it...

I love how we're supposed to throw Jrue in too, despite Davis for Lonzo + pick 4 not being equitable trade in itself, or even working from a salary standpoint.

Also I can't think of a worse running mate for Zion than Lonzo.
