contrary to the posts that have dominated this thread, i like this trade and I'd be pretty happy ending up with either of the 3 you mentioned (gallo/reke/derozan). I think Tyreke slots well at either SG/SF and is an upgrade over Turner. I also don't want the C's to offer Sully an extension.
Well I just don't want to offer them Young. I don't see why people are so intent on overpaying for players that can't shoot. I would like to keep Young or at least Sully in the possibility that they can fetch us a nice return. Yes, rentals are usually low valued, but if Sully does have a dominant performance like 17/9, with good eFG/ and FG %, we can either sign and trade or trade him to a player that can retain him with traded bird rights.
Tyreke isn't worth anything more than a first round pick, and a second rounder which the Pelicans the year before were intent on trading him for.
I really don't like Tyreke, and would rather take on DeRozan or Gallo. Gallo addresses 3 pt shooting with size at 3, and 4. Whereas DeRozan averaged around 20 PPG in the playoffs.
Sullinger is not a fit - and he is going to cost big bucks as a free agent.
I would rather throw in 2 picks and get Derozan. Assuming he isn't available, I like the Tyreke idea,
Consider Tyreke an upgrade over Turner, pure and simple. Young is a throw in to make the salaries work. We have other guys who can shoot it, Tyreke would be more of a facilitator to team with Smart in a big backcourt or a point-forward type to go with 2 guards in a small ball lineup.
Consider it a way to upgrade talent level for the next 2 years and still protect major cap space in 2017. Pelicans dont have very many guaranteed contracts. They could use the depth and they could also use Sullinger next to Davis whenever Asik goes to the bench.
Ummm... I don't really care if hes an upgrade over Turner... I hope any player we're receiving from a packaged trade would be better than some of the players shipped out.. I don't get people's infatuation with Tyreke.
I like him, because hes a good, but nowhere near elite player. But hes a offensive specialist that desperately needs a floor spacer. The last thing we need is a SF that cannot shoot nor play defense. Trying to put him next to Smart, and Bradley just sounds like a disaster.
