This is a key point. During the season, there is a hard limit on how many players they can have on their roster BEFORE the trade. New Orleans would have to make some moves before accepting this kinda deal.

So they would have to trade other players first to make room?

The Pelicans have the full 15 players plus a 2-way. Adding a 5-2 trade means you have to trade 3 players in a hurry before that or start waiving contracts. Portland having an extra roster spot could come in handy.
 
Ball, Kuzma, and Ingram are not star level players. They're quality role players.
 
They already have 15 players and a two way contract. So if the deal is 5 players for 2, they'd have to cut/trade 3.

Guessing they'll trade Mirotic and someone else for a player and pick (Niko + Frazier for Harkless + pick works).

They'd still need to cut two more.

What a mess. There's no reason to even do this now. Wait til the summer.

not necessarily....the Lakers offer is for 32M more that AD's salary an the Pelicans have a lot of small salaries:

Ian Clark $1,757,429 Tim Frazier $1,621,415 Jahlil Okafor $1,567,007 Cheick Diallo $1,544,951 Frank Jackson $1,378,242 Kenrich Williams $838,464

the Lakers could take back some of those players....I'd imagine they'd actually want to and need to if they traded 40% of their roster away
 
What i am really waiting for is IS the Lakers do make this trade and if it involves Ball how with the idiot father of Ball react ? -- that will be more entertaining in itself - LOL

He's been fairly quiet since LeBron showed up. If his kid ends up in N.O., the constant mouth will once again go crazy.
 
I thought it was annoying when just the players were making lists of teams they’d accept being traded to, now we have to hear about their parents lists.. fucking NBA
 
Wilbon on PTI is talking up the Lakers players as being good enough for the trade for AD. I guess good enough if you like the lottery every year.
 
I would think Beasley and Stephenson could be cut/bought out.
