re: Ideal Pelicans First Offseason 2013

I really don't have too many targets, I just know a few moves I'd make.
I would trade Lopez for sure. Davis should be able to play more center minutes. I know starting an Aaron Gray type seems like a step backwards, but you probably need to take a step backwards like that for Monty to play Davis and Anderson as much as he should.
Monty said in the Zach Lowe interview that Vasquez and Aminu are killing the offense. I'm not in a hurry to trade Vasquez because I think Rivers has the potential to replace him and Vasquez would be good off the bench, but I'm also assuming that Vasquez won't get a big pay day. I think he'll get similar to what Jarret Jack gets this offseason, so if Jack gets around $5 million or less I'd keep Vasquez but if he gets much more than that I'd start shopping Vasquez. I'd be willing to keep Aminu around off the bench on a cheap contract but we have to have a starter that can shoot in addition to defending. Whether that's a FA like Corey Brewer or drafting Otto Porter I guess depends on how the ping pong balls bounce.

DID NOT READ!!!!!
kidding I tend to agree with most of what you said except that we should leave C alone I am beginning to lean towards letting Davis play PF for a few years and then we look into if he can play C
also where have you seen Oladipo as a SF? Everything I've seen suggests he is strictly a SG I mean he's 6'5" 215 right? And aren't scouts saying that Bazz is small for a SF at 6'6" 225?
also I dont think people should leave out Anthony Bennett I think he's got crazy potential and flying under the radar in a draft without many sure things

why on earth would you do that? he has a very favorable contract, and he could make an amazing backup center if the hornets could find someone to replace him, or even if they allow davis to eventually (i'm not convinced that's next year) take his minutes.
and to the jackass who compared GV to Tim fricking Tebow...your a moron. and yes i purposefully misused you're to make a point of how moronic that statement was.
eta: great writeup, drake. i don't agree with all of it, but great writeup

I'm in favor of this as well.
It seems like most are trying to upgrade C and make it difficult for Davis to get any minutes there.
I like more minutes at C for Davis. Let's see what he can do. Losing Lopez to play Davis more is good; losing Lopez to upgrade the position and restricting Davis/Anderson to PF minutes hell is bad. JMO

Watching Aminu throw up air balls on half of his long jumpers is rough...It's 4 on 5 for us offensively in half-court sets.

This. He's too slow and doesnt rebound the way the team needs. His value will never be higher, take what you can get via trade. Hopefully a capped out team will trade a late first for the right to cut him.
I like Vasquez and he has had a great season, but he isnt the answer at pg. Maybe they can get better guys around him to ease his load and he continues to improve his shooting and it can work.
But watching David Lee keep up with him on switches last night was heart breaking. They need more perimeter players who can make teams pay off the dribble. He just doesnt have that ability unless he's got a smaller guy on him.
Aminu has made strides, but they need more from his spot. Playing him with Anderson means teams have the sf guard Ryno and the pf guard Aminu. They need a more skilled player there.
No real FA targets in mind, but the first priority must be to upgrade the perimeter players.
