On paper, I think this is possible. But, we?ve been through so many off-seasons of fake hope, I have to assume this is just going to be another case of our front office delivering the same recycling of veterans that no one else wants at the price we paid.

I agree. This is a pipe dream not a plan.
See what NO is doing? Getting MCCullum would have been huge?.
?I?m the primary ball handler now,? McCollum said, via Christian Clark of NOLA.com. ?Before, Dame was the primary ball handler.?
This move has paid off for the Pels, who have scored more points since they added McCollum to the roster. Their numbers have gone up and they hope to keep things this way for the rest of the season.
The Pelicans rank second in points scored per 100 possessions since they traded for McCollum. Post-trade, they are averaging 102.3 points per 100 possessions in half-court situations, which is up from 89.1 points per 100 possessions prior to Feb. 10.
?He?s such a dynamic scorer,? Pelicans coach Willie Green said. ?He can get to his spots and get buckets. But the thing that kind of gets overlooked sometimes is his ability to play make for his teammates. It?s something we talk about as a team. He and Brandon (Ingram) both are doing a great job of getting other guys involved.?

Right now Durant & Kyrie got their hands FULL beating the Cavs 115-108 (Play-Ins) to move on to the next step .. A seven Game series against Marcus Smart's ball-movement Celtics team .. Brooklyn coach Nash will need the 2-Way Trio of Ben Simmons, Curry, and Drummond off the bench to beat the Celtics in a 7 game series LMAO

NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant has been in the league long enough to know that it's not wise to give a playoff opponent any extra motivation before a series begins.
So when Durant heard Nets guard Bruce Brown's critique of the Boston Celtics, saying that the Nets can attack them down low in their upcoming Eastern Conference quarterfinals series because of the absence of Celtics big man Robert Williams III, Durant was quick to rebuke his young teammate's comments.
"We respect our opponents," Durant said after the Nets finished off a 115-108 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Tuesday night's play-in game. "We don't need to talk about what we're going to do to them. I just don't like that, but that's how Bruce is. He comes in and keeps the same energy throughout the whole season so -- but we don't need to say s--- like that. Let's just go out there and hoop."
Brown's comments came after he was asked what he felt the biggest key will be to slowing down the Celtics in the upcoming series, which starts in Boston on Sunday afternoon.
"We can't let [Jayson] Tatum get 50," Brown said. "We got to be physical with them. Now they don't have Robert Williams, so they have less of a presence in the paint and we could attack Al Horford and [Daniel] Theis. So them not having Robert Williams is huge."
Durant, who took the dais for the postgame news conference after Brown did, had already been tipped off to the fact that Brown had said something he wouldn't appreciate.
"What did Bruce Brown say when he got up here?" Durant asked the assembled media. "He said something I didn't like, somebody just told me."
When told of Brown's comments, Durant tried to walk them back.
"That's caffeine pride talking," Durant said. "He takes something before the game. Those two dudes (Horford and Theis) can do the same stuff. It ain't going to be that easy, I tell you that."
