Wow. If I was the Pelicans, I´d pull the trigger on this so fast....I mean that is a very dumb idea New Orleans, don´t you do it.

Pelicans do have the firsts to go after Kessler, but I don't think the asking price is a single first. That's not how Danny Ainge operates. 

I think this story was floated by Ainge to light a fire under the Pelicans butt to say "hey we got more suitors and they're already offering us a FRP, if you want Kessler you have to give us 2."

Secondly, while Kessler is a great defensive center, New Orleans needs a stretch 5 to pair next to Zion. That's why they let Valanciunas go.
