re: interesting name in a BI trade rumor
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 5/9/24 at 8:00 pm
I really like jovic. Herro, Jokic and a 1st would be a nice return for BI. Hero would probably be more willing to be a 6th man than CJ who we would then move ...

[quote]Gafford could have solved so many problems for this team.. they got him for 1 1st and richaun holmes. Griffin sitting on his hands as usual[/quote]
A shite 1st too. The 26th pick in a terrible draft. I was screaming to trade our pick plus larry for gafford at the deadline. Such a low cost ...

[quote]I’d explore trade markets for all 3 of them tbh. Even though I did love what Zion was doing for a couple of months this season. For instance, what harm does it do to call Houston up and see if Sengun is available? If Zion is what it takes to get that done, you probably should do it instead of...

[quote]was with you until the sentence after this. The 3 ball is a concern, but lot of this is getting him the ball in spots to shoot and Pels ball distribution behind BI and Z was not very good. Don't think its anything nefarious.[/quote]
It was absolutely a choice that BI made to not take many...

[quote]Hes just not good enough in todays nba. The guy never shoots 3s, isn’t an impact defender, and refuses to adapt his game to the team or situation.
Yes he can score- when he doesn’t have a physical defender on him- but thats why hes one time all star and has never made any other all nba tea...

[quote]Everytime Willie talks about the style of play the coaching staff wants he always talks about the .5 second offense, shooting 40 3’s a game and pace.[/quote]
Willie says that and then plays lineups with 1 shooter for the vast majority of the game. If he really wanted to shoot 40 3s then he...
re: NAW...Dudes playing really well.
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 5/7/24 at 3:48 pm
[quote]Which begs questions.
Is the problem the rookie scale, the length of contracts, the lack of time the younger guys spend in the D League depending on draft position, or something else?
Are teams not giving these guys enough time or is the problem that, once you develop them, RFA and ...

Pretty much par for the course with BI and the lack of accountability. You want the ball, get open.
Help him get the ball...not saying there are no ways to do that, but man this is the NBA, if you want the ball bad enough, you WILL go and get the ball.
Problem is, BI quite literal...

re: NAW...Dudes playing really well.
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 5/7/24 at 8:08 am
I loved NAW when he was here but he definitely isnt "one that got away". We gave him every chance to be a long term piece here and he never seized that opportunity. Remember how green of a light NAW had to start that 21-22 season? He also was never a good defender here. He definitely reinvented his ...
re: Pelicans are not expected to offer BI extension this offseason, moving in new direction
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 5/7/24 at 8:06 am
I think my dream offseason is flipping BI for Garland. This only happens is cleveland realizes against boston they need more wing creation and to move forward with Mitchell as the lone small guard.
Then flip CJ to Orlando for WCJ. This one I think is semi realistic. Orlando desperately needs sho...

Yeah he showed some nice flashes with that but still a ways to go before i would say that's a part of his bag.

I have a hard time seeing Zion take over a playoff series with only one above average offensive move in his bag. Look at Ant, he has so many ways to beat a defense. Where does Zion turn when can’t just barrel into 4 guys? ...
