Would you rather wind up with Mobley or cap space + the Pelicans pick?

In other words, moving Mobley of the players received for space and picks.

Cap space + the Pelicans pick, for the reasons of overlap you describe in the PJW post above. Doesn't matter, because I doubt either choice will truly be available. 

And incidentally, I think the issue with both PJW and Mobley is that they both overlap with Flagg too much. For that reason, I kind of expect PJW to be moved over the summer no matter what happens at this deadline. Maybe it will take them until next year's TDL to figure it out, not sure. 

But, in this hypothetical, Mobley can plausibly exist at the 5 for long stretches of meaningful games against good opponents, perhaps even more so with a guy like Flagg next to him, in a way PJW really can't, so he'd definitely be an add worth jumping on if it were truly possible. Ultimately though, I think I'd prefer that Pelicans pick as an asset in the Mavs shoes, because I'm not 100% sure there's an ideal fit between Flagg and Mobley, despite the possibility it could work being more than intriguing enough to want to try.
