After one game I'm ready to hop aboard the Vucevic Bandwagon

Rebounding is just such a huge need.
Okafor is a bad rebounder
Noel is just an ok rebounder
Monroe is a good rebounder but I fear he'd clog the paint for AD.
Vucevic is like Monroe in his positives and negatives, good at scoring/rebounding/passing and bad at defense, but he can hit the mid range shot and get out of AD's way.
Vucevic also has a career average of 30 MPG, and if you have to give up a protected pick to get him, that's what you want back, a guy you can play 30 MPG. With any luck you can move Ajinca when you trade for him.

how protected of a pick are you talking about? No way i give them a top 7, not in this draft. Maybe top 9-11 protected.

If you're oversized SF 4/54 signing can't contribute more than one rebound on the night in 28 minutes, you're putting too much pressure on whoever comes in next and AD.
TWO MOTHER frickING REBOUNDS from Ajinca/Dante/Asik in 36 minutes. Ok, maybe you're right.

He's under contract on a good deal for 2 more years after this one, but he's definitely out of favor in Orlando.
I would absolutely give up somethingg to get him. If you could pull off a top 12 year 1 and top 3 year 2, that's a homerun. Not sure you can get him for that, and obviously we would need to send out salary.

I don't want to give up a first rounder for a big man. I'm just tired of giving up picks. And I certainly don't want to give up a pick for someone that can't play defense at the 5.
I'd rather try to get one of Olynyk or Zeller from Boston than Vucevic. Orlando wants something good in return. I think Boston could unload one of them strictly for future financial reasons, assuming they think they can get by just fine without one of them.
Defense is more important than a good rebounder. If Asik, and the rest of team were better team defenders, we'd rebound better.
I'd rather Noel than Vucevic.
hell i'd rather if they would have put Diallo in for a few minutes to match Faried's intensity and see what the kid can do. Coudlnt' have been much worse than Ajinca.

Been pushing this for a while, so I 100% agree with you Tiger
I know people love this draft, but this franchise is not taking some 19 year old anyway. They are either gonna find another vet to trade the pick for or draft an upperclassman that goes off this year who won't be better than Vuc for 3-5 more years anyway
Reke and Ajinca, with a top 5 protected pick for Vuc and I am a happy man. Then, go sign and develop a Quincy Ford type, get Jrue back and be a team that can win 50 games next year. Will they ever win a title? Probably not, but there is no realistic path to that anyway

Nice to see you are on the wagon. Ive been saying this and with the signing of Biyombo, do what u have to do to make it work.
Give them a top 5 protected first and push Asik as well.
That's as good as you'll get which isn't a bad deal at this point. You have to realize that someone has to get the shittier part of a deal sometimes and giving up a first rounder in a loaded draft is tough to give up BUT you get a youngish center that would mesh very well with AD.
Centers like that are hard to find. Much harder to find than a SG etc..just look at how terrible the swing and miss was on Asik..
Nola front office must make a move quickly to keep AD even remotely interested in staying here long term but there's been no progress WHATSOEVER..it's gonna be a long season.

I was calling for him after Pekovic fell off. He's what we need.

This would be the most Pelicans move possible.
