This patience will come to fruition when Anthony Davis is traded in the off season.
Now that Davis and Lebron share the same agent and Lebron's desire to have Anthony Davis as his "Robin" in L.A the % that Davis goes to L.A is 90% .Even if Davis gets traded to Boston or any other team, the Pelicans will be rebuilding via the infusion of young talent.
After Davis is traded is when we should then swoop in and trade for Jrue Holiday to be our starting Point Guard. I would then trade the following players:
Anderson = played for them before & would offer a veteran presence on a young team.
Jackson = Started to play better, ultimately a bench player.
Okobo = showed some promise, but most likely a combo guard off the bench.
Milwaukee Bucks 1st Round Pick
Works in trade machine.
After the trade I opted to renounce everyone except Holmes, so we would have $16.7m left to spend in free agency.
I would target Randle or Mirotic but I think Randle is more attainable as Mirotic will get 4 years $90m-$100m. Randle who is averaging 19 point 9 rebounds & 2.9 assist which will help in sharing the ball in coach's system
Starting 5=
Jrue Holiday= Trade
Booker
Warren
Julius Randle = Via Free Agency 4 years $70m
Ayton
Bench=
Melton
Jarret Culver = No3 2019 1st Round Pick
Bridges
Noah Vonleh = Room Mid Level Exception ($9.8m for 2 years)
Holmes
===
3rd Point Guard
Crawford = Veteran presence
Deng = Veteran presence
Frye = Veteran presence
2019 2nd Round Pick
I think Cleveland will get the no1 pick like they got the no1 pick the last time Lebron left them. The Knicks will get no2 and we will get the 3rd pick. I chose Jarret Culver as our pick as he is this years Mikal Bridges. I signed Noah Vonleh using the Room Mid Level Exception as the backup 4 as he has shown some promise this year. The reason I chose not to resign OUBRE is that he is going to get in the region of 4 years $80m and the team who are going to sign him to that contract is the Sacramento Kings, I think that’s starter type money and I don’t think OUBRE is a starter.
What do you guys think?
