76ers get: Anthony Davis

Pelicans get: Amir Johnson, Dario Saric, Markelle Fultz, the Lakers' 2018 first-round pick (No. 1, or Nos. 6-30) or the King's 2019 first-round pick


A) I don't see why on Earth New Orleans would do that
B) I don't see how on Earth the Celtics couldn't beat it.
C) Still trying to figure out how ESPN thinks that there is a chance that NO would do that trade...

They don't get paid to make intelligent articles and broadcasting fantastic point of views with eye-catching dialogue, I'll tell you that.

It isn't a terrible trade (Saric and Fultz are high level young players and Amir is expiring, plus that pick is going to be pretty good), but I can't see NO trading Davis without multiple draft picks and dumping some poor contracts.  Philly though can easily sweeten that trade and still end up with a great team.  I mean just adding Hill and sending back Booker makes it a lot more appealing for NO, but Philly has a lot of other picks, including their own this summer to add and a bunch of other young players like Holmes, Luwawu-Cabarrot, McConnell, Anderson, and Korkmaz they can add.  They also have Bayless (who they could swap for Moore).  Lots of potential options and a lot more flexibility than Boston can offer (since Boston doesn't have a lot of easily tradeable contracts to take back bad NO contracts).

Actually, I don't see why Philly would do that either.  Davis isn't the best fit for them.  Their three best players would be Simmons (who doesn't shoot from outside ten feet), Embiid (currently a bad three-point shooter) and Davis (a mediocre three-point shooter).  Have fun running an offense with that spacing. 

I think they'd be better off going after a wing who can open up the floor for them.  Paul George and Klay Thompson come to mind.

I think they would be ok.  Davis shoots at 34.4% and while Embiid is bad, he does shot a fair amount.  Covington is good and Redick is great.  I think they would be ok spacing the floor because only Simmons doesn't really shoot them at all (I mean they are basically just swapping Davis for Saric in the lineup, which is a drop in 3 point shooting, but not a huge drop).

Yeah that was nuts. Fultz is a total unknown. He might shake whatever is bothering him or he might be an all-time bust. Amir and Saric have very limited value. The only “sure” thing is a high pick.

A better Cs offer would be Jaylen (a very good young 2-way player who’s actually shown all-star potential), the Lakers/King’s pick (about at good as the Sixers’ pick offer) plus filler (what Philly is offering). Even that’s too little for Davis.
