February 20, 20179 yr Need to find some 3 and D guys on the perimeter. Yep, still a lot needs to be done with this team to put them at the next level.
February 20, 20179 yr The question now is will Cal go to NOLA and what other Wildcats will head to NOLA? Well you got to figure that the first thing Cal is going to do is go after Wall, as his presence would probably help to keep Boogie in check. Followed by acquiring KAT as Cal will once again show what a genius he is again by being the first coach to utilitize the dual stretch 4 look with AD & KAT. I'm not really sure what they will do at the 2. Probably trade for Booker or take Monk in the draft. I'd look for Willie to be the sixth man just to make sure that Wall has someone to throw lobs to if AD gets injured and DMC gets ejected or something. Maybe give a roster spot to A-a-ron Harrison just for last second shot situations (Even though he'll never be used cause Cal is going to roll the NBA by about 50 a game) And just for the haters who don't see how Cal could get all these guys to agree to be on the same team and sacrifice to stay under the salary cap, Cal's got that worked out as well. He's already laid the foundation while they were at UK with all the everybody eats, brothers keeper stuff. (:sssh: Plus he already has his bagman World Wide running around with a large stack of Nike $$$ that he can get the fellas off the books.) P.S. I'd expect that by year three Brad will have earned a spot on the squad.

February 20, 20179 yr It looks like Cal has had every opportunity to coach him at that level and passed. I'm still not sure this changes it. I would expect that Cal stays at least 3 more years to Brad through UK and set him up with a coaching job somewhere else. Just a gut feeling. I think that he might have left UK by now except for the fact that Brad wanted to play there.
February 20, 20179 yr So to recap... Pelicans got Cousins and Casspi Kings got Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, 2017 first-round and second-round pick '17 first-rounder is top-three protected.

February 20, 20179 yr Author It looks like Cal has had every opportunity to coach him at that level and passed. I'm still not sure this changes it. It's one thing for it to just be Cousins. It's AD and Cousins now. That may not change things but it is definitely more enticing. I am hoping Bledsoe joins them in NOLA if Holiday leaves after this season.
February 20, 20179 yr Author Yeah that makes sense. He's already stayed longer than I expected. With Holiday a free agent after this year do you try to trade him before the 23rd if you are the Pelicans to try to secure a nucleus for next season? I would. I'd be at his house right now like sign an extension today or get a for sale sign.

I'd be at his house right now like sign an extension today or get a for sale sign. I'd tank the rest of the year to try and keep that top 3 pick and go all in for next year. So I like that idea.

I am hoping Bledsoe joins them in NOLA if Holiday leaves after this season. It is, but that team still has a ways to go before they are real contenders. If I'm him the only way I'm leaving is for a title contending team.
February 20, 20179 yr I'd tank the rest of the year to try and keep that top 3 pick and go all in for next year. So I like that idea. The 76ers have the right to swap picks with the Kings. So tanking won't help them, although they will still have the Sixers lottery pick.

February 20, 20179 yr Aaron Bruski Verified account @aaronbruski Vlade says he had a better offer for DeMarcus Cousins two days ago.
