I would definitely trade the pick

Then I would start waiting outside Kemba Walker's house RIGHT NOW

I feel like that would be what Amar'e/Melo should have been: a great PG distributing to the high or low post, depending on what the defense gives

agreed no need to add KP

We have a lot of young talent plus a unprotected number one.

The Pels might want to dump salary to be players in free agency, so Kanter and Mudiay plus unprotected first works too... but lots of different trades will work Kanter is a center piece to match salary. Kanter, Frank and Mitch and the number one pick works too.

I like your take... I would add that I think our opening offer should be Kanter + our first + any necessary salary filler. That's it. See where the conversation leads. It's not like our pick is the typical 8th overall selection this year

We may be a rental
I wouldn’t even offer an unrestricted draft pick.

I would do

Top 3 restriction 2020 pick
Knox
2022 pick restriction top 10
Robinson
Trier
Mudiay
Kanter to give them cap relief

Good offer for us and last resort for them.
If they will get desperate they may call us back.

Our return? We get AD and KP together... we still have Knox.... we still have cap space to sign a point guard, maybe Rubio for instance. Then we start Trier or Dotson at the 2. So, AD, KP, Knox, Rubio and Trier.... that's not worth the ride?

If not we walk away and start the course. I see alot of anxiety here. Chill

That's a good take too. Lakers can offer some mix of players but NONE has the upside that KP has.
Pels like most teams need a bankable star. Thus they might be more drawn to KP as a center piece.
In my dream fantasy I have KP and Hardaway for AD. Naturally AD will resign. Since he stated he won't sign extension he will be traded. Question is does AD approve a NY deal? He wants to go to a contender which neither LA or NY is.
Now if Durant or Kyrie are in play and we get some of that, well there is now a host of possibilities including Trading Knox if need be.
Chips need three stars.
After months of embattlement with Rainman over the validity of Frank I have lost all objectivity to include him in any deal. Teams win championships with players like that. Players that play defense and are unselfish. If his value is as reported not so high, so why trade him??

I agree that it is a good take. I personally think that if the Knicks are somewhat patient, the best offer the Pelicans could get is something like our pick, THJ, and Frank. I don't really see another team beating that. If you want to include another young asset in case of emergency, fine, but I can't see another team topping that offer, especially when our pick could very well be Zion

You cant be serious...The pick is valuable, obviously, THJ and Frank dont have much value at all...The Celtics can put together a much better package than that. They own a top ten pick plus they can trade Jalen Brown who is a much better player/prospect than Frank or THJ
