The Ball may be gone, but the grass won't be Greener on the other side: NOLA Pelicans 2021-22 Thread

[I AM WE ARE]

Griffin trying get the NBA to take the franchise outta the city

 

[Guile]

Zion stuck there for a bit but I would not be surprised if Ingram asked for a trade this February.

 

[NatiboyB]

Is it any validity to the Brandon Ingram trade rumors? Also I like that graham move he makes less money than ball and is a straight no conscious shooter…

 

[I AM WE ARE]

Griffin gotta have other team GM in his phone cause dude deals make no sense

Graham has no athleticism and no def



DJ Augustin w/ a green light

Since when did Pels fans start hating Zo?

I’m pissed that they broke up Zo, BI, and Big Z

Yeah... Creating a sign and trade and pay Charlotte to participate... Because we could of sign him out right through cap space.

So... If Griff got some super secret way of getting a $20 million star. It's probably through another trade



Which is starting to worry me, because I know we don't bring in FA. This offseason... It seems just very odd for an exciting young squad with a really exciting new head coach to have so little interest.

I think Griff backstabbing, fear of micromanaging, and throwing Vets/coaches under the bus on top of NOLA becoming a Vet graveyard has made what is already a super tough sell for FA seem like "Avoid at all Cost" for any FA.

We got to get the drama under control, win games, and start acting like a functional organic organization.

No, he and Trajan were attending games together and he was also there for coaching interviews with Willie Green.



I actually like Temple, Satoransky and Graham as bench pieces. Pelicans bench was horrible last year. I would not start any one of these guys though. I am guessing NAW will get one of starting positions. Reggie Jackson, Buddy Heild, Ingles, Danny Green all would be good for the other starting guard position. Also need to find a backup 4

I think Ingles is a pipedream. A $25 million tax bill is chump change to owners now.

His name has been out there, I still don’t believe jazz will trade him but if they are then any team should try. He’s very good still.

Prob when he'd have a triple double or a hot night of shooting and everyone would declare how great he is then he'd follow it up with 5 straight absolute stinkers. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

He is what he is. His peak is MAYBE an All Star one year but that's it. And that's being generous if you ask me, he's a solid role player at best. You don't pay role players 80+ mil.

 

[Black Lightning]

Pelicans gave up a first round pick for Devonte Graham?

 

[BXKingPin82]

The Coli still loves this clown.

Spoiler

his daddys Black yall!!!!

Some Clearly didn't watch his on ball defense in the clutch either. Dude got his brakes beat off and walked to the basketball so many times. Bad fouls in the clutch. Getting baited badly.

You look back at all the guards we faced... I think we didn't go a week without a guard going 40+ or a career night with Bledsoe /Ball.

Devonte a great catch-and-shoot 3pt, 42% last 2 seasons
