Wait, Did I Just Beat LeBron And Rich Paul?

Alright, that may be a little much. Clearly whoever runs the Pelicans social account is a fellow stoolie. This isn’t the first time we’ve had some interaction, that came a while back when they brought in my old love James Young for a look

so chances are this is nothing. However, with the news dropping that the Lakers are pulling out because the Pelicans stood firm on their ask I put that tweet out and you have to admit, the timing of the response is interesting. Granted there’s little chance the stoolie running this account has any knowledge of what’s currently going on in terms of the AD sweepstakes but I’m choosing to believe. As far as I’m concerned that was Dell Demps himself. This whole scenario could change in an instant so I’m taking everything I can get. Woj or Shams could hit ‘tweet’ at any moment with a bomb that could immediately destroy this good feeling I am currently experiencing. That’s the highs and lows of trade deadline week.

But here’s what I know. Friends don’t screw each other over, so I’m going to need the Pelicans to stick to their guns. Do not make me regret being proud of you right now. We have two more days to go, we can do this together. It’s clear they’re having some fun with the internet right now, with that reply and then this tweet

but again I’m choosing to look at the positives here. I don’t want to get carried away but I’m pretty sure me and Danny Ainge may have pulled this off. Remember, we just need to get to Thursday at 3pm with Davis still being a Pelican. That’s the goal.

I’d also like go to on record and let the Pelicans know that I am available to help this summer in negotiations. I’m sort of best friends with the man in charge

and it would be my pleasure to make sure this deal happens in a way that works for everyone. I know they may be nervous in dealing with Ainge, but I can work with him if need be to find the right combination. With all the rumors flying around, I can’t help but think of a classic Office quote

Imagine Barstool playing a role in preventing LeBron from getting what he wants? Man, that would earn me some big time brownie points
