The New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly shopping Nikola Mirotic. If the team finds an acceptable deal, who is your ideal trade partner and return?
Preston: One year of salary and a mid to late first. Niko for Brandon Knight and a first strengthens Houston, which will only hurt Golden State’s odds of another title. If Houston can manage the upset, Durant would most assuredly leave and head to...New York? And then the Anthony Davis trade to the Big Apple becomes a slam dunk.
Kevin: If the Pelicans were to trade Anthony Davis to Brooklyn before this deadline as I outlined yesterday, I’d retain Mirotic because I feel he’d fit our future team very well.
