Rumor has it that Davis wants to be traded. Is this enough to convince the Pelicans:
Picks
2017 Brooklyn 1st
2017 Celtics 2nd
2017 Cavs 2nd
2017 Clippers 2nd
2017 Kings 2nd
2018 Brooklyn 1st
2019 Grizzlies 1st
2019 Clippers 1st
2019 Celtics 1st
Players
Amir Johnson
Jonas Jerebko
Kelly Olynyk
Avery Bradley
Jae Crowder
That is five first-round picks, four second-round picks, potentially 3-4 starter-caliber players, and a decent backup in Jerebko.
----------------
If it is enough, we can fill out our cap space with solid rotational players in order to make a run at the third or second seed. Next offseason we can add Gordon Hayward and fill out the rest of the roster with solid backups. With Davis, Thomas, Horford and Hayward, along with a growing Smart, Brown and Rozier, I think we have enough to beat Cleveland and make a run at Golden State.
