Davis isn't as far fetched to me as I think it is viewed by the majority of fans. The guy is hurt a lot and Pelicans do have Cousins now who does a lot of the same things. If C's offered Fultz, AB, Mickey, Jackson and Crowder for Davis that is a very good deal. Just look at their Pelicans Team
Fultz, AB, Crowder, Cousins, Asik.
Vs
Frazier, Moore, Hill, Davis, Cousins
Which would you rather have? I think that first one makes the playoffs and Fultz gets rookie of the year.
As for C's if they release all their FAs they have $67 million on the books between signed team (IT, Smart, Brown, Davis, Horford, Rozier). 4 million for holds on Yab and Zizic as they are 1st rounders. Thats 71 million. You can still sign Hayward at 27 and have 4 million to sign your second rounders or two vets. I'm guessing pick 37 and 53 get moved same way last year's second went. So that leaves pick 57. You bring back Green and AJ at the min and that gives us .
IT, Brown, Hayward, Davis, Horford
Rozier, Smart, Nader, Green, Yab, AJ, Zizic, pick 57.
There's your possible C's with Davis and Hayward. Is the cost worth it? Would that team beat the Cavs? Could it take the warriors?
