How the Clippers Get AD (Godfather Offer)
Flip Lou Williams to IND, CHA, or MIN for a future first
Flip Montrezl Harrell to MIN, SAC, DEN for a future first
Trade SGA/Robinson/Shamet/6 First Round Picks (Rights to their '19 First, '20 First from PHI, '21 First from MIA, '22 First from LAC, Future First from Lou Williams trade, Future First from Harrell trade) for AD
How does this compare with the NYK and BOS packages?
This gives the Pelicans the equivalent of 9 first round picks plus close to $20 million in immediate savings due to the difference in salaries.
If the Clippers can dump Gallinari's contract either with Lou Williams, through a possible Kawhi (S&T) with the Raptors or to another team, the Clippers try to pair AD with Kawhi and KD along with Zubac's small cap hold. They fill the rest of the roster with the room exception (point guard), second round picks and ring chasers.

Its ambitious to say the least. I actually like this for Pels because it creates a Trust the Process But also it puts AD in LA but not with the Tamperers.

Think you can only trade 4 first per trade.

If Harrell gets a first in trade other GM should be fired.

I think New Orleans is looking for 3 things to trade AD.
1. "Proven" young talent.
2. Draft picks
3. Salary cap relief (most likely salary dumping Hill's contract) .
The Clippers young talent is not proven and the Clips would lose their max salary slot in order to provide significant salary cap relief to New Orleans.

Expiring S. Hill in a trade involving AD? Wouldn't that mean less return for the rebuilding pelicans? I don't think S. Hill $ will be required to make the salaries work unless Wall is the trade target.

However, getting someone to take Hill's deal for free would open up $30 mil in cap space this off season to take on a bad deal for a pick. Unloading Hill speeds up the rebuild process.

I like the offer. NO already has big men for the future in Randle and Okafor. Getting SGA and Shamet who had a great year would be big. Having set 4 positions for 7/ 8 years is great. It depends on the celtics if they offer Tatum, Brown, Smart and picks. That would be the only better offer. Picks of the Celtics aren't better than the picks of the Clippers.

S. Hill for free? Is that a standing 8 count.
9.) 18 Feb 2019 19:13:10
How is Hill's deal in an AD trade going to be free for the Pels? I am not clear on what you are saying. Hill is expiring, and he can be traded to acquire a bad contract along with other players. Doesn't need to be included to drag an AD trade down. I think this is a standing 8 count for you fredman.

The picks would have been useless if they hadnt canned Dell Demmps. He wouldve burned them up in bad trades.

The Celtics won’t have any cap space and there’s no way that KD will accept the MLE and give up almost $30 million per year on his next contract. GSW calls his bluff and says no deal.

This is brutal for the Clippers. They single handedly lose their cap space in 2019 for Chriss, Warren, and Knight?
05 Jul 2018 17:20:28
Clippers can just sign both outright next offseason and keep all of their assets.
28 Jun 2018 19:10:25
I could see something like this and the maybe send DJ to an3rd team for either cap relief/ pick (DAL/ SAC) or another asset that fits better in SA (WAS - Porter) .
