New Orleans Pelicans ?@PelicansNBA 1 hour ago
Dell Demps at ticket event in our facility. Tells fans AD looks good and should start season with no restrictions.
Dell said they keep in touch with Jrue regularly. Told him "go be a husband." Said thoughts are with them & guys are ready to step up.
Dell, who's office is next to practice court, joked "Every night Buddy is here, I know he is working in the gym because I hear reggae music"
Demps on @cheick_diallo13 "Tough player, works hard - will become a fan favorite"
Demps said @QuincyPondexter had his first "full go" workout today. "We are excited to get him back in the fold" #Pelicans

This is why I am excited about this guy. His work ethic is amazing. It may take a little bit for him to get acclimated to the speed of the NBA but I am optimistic that if he keeps at it like this his transition will smooth out sooner rather than later.

Little more from the event, I was there.
Dell said Quincy could either be back for all preseason games or miss up to 15 games to start the season. It all depends on how he reacts to today's workouts. He wasn't suppose to be able to go through them for another few weeks but he progressed quickly and they'll just monitor how his body responds the next few days.
Funny story about Solomon Hill. Dell was really big on him coming out of college but we didn't have a pick that year. But Dell still wanted him to work out for them but his agent kept saying no you don't have a pick. Well Dell eventually just got on a plane and met Hill in LAX airport for a quick hour interview before Hill was going to work out for the Pacers. The Pacers actually brought him in to guard all the first round pick guys they were evaluating, and Hill had told Dell leaving the meeting that he was gonna be picked 23rd, just watch. Dell said he got a text after hill was drafted from him just saying "told you" haha and he actually only traded into that draft to get the 40th pick because he was planning on taking Hill. He was projected in the 45-50 range and Dell really liked him. But instead we got Russ smith....
Dell also said to expect to see more hard fouls this year haha
Joel Meyers talked about how Asik and Ajinca are both fighting for the starting spot and Asik is in really good shape and will surprise us this year.
Buddy was really cool, seemed like a genuinely nice guy. Was really good with the little kids. He had actually come in early to this just to get shots up. We couldn't go in for a little while cause they had to get him and his reggae off the court haha
Take what Dell and Joel said what it's worth, PR. But still cool to get the stories and information, especially in the dead zone of NBA news.

And maybe he'll take over the iPod and keep Gentry from playing fricking Drake all day.

Maybe I've just been in a football cloud, but it's been so long I've honestly forgotten what QPon's injury even was.
Knee? Hip?

Knee. Also, Steven Wilson is back in Blackfield for Blackfield V.

He got surgery on his knee, did the rehab then got to about this point and it still wasn't right so they said "oops, lets operate again." Yesterday being his first day Full Go is meaningless. If he's still going by the end of the week then it's a good sign.

Still, the fact that he finally went "Full Go" is the biggest news in there.

Good to see an actual GM in New Orleans giving the city positive news

It was a Meet and Greet for Buddy Heild for existing STH who haven't renewed yet.
Another random thing, we saw Darren Erman in there and my ticket rep was talking to us about how he's either always working or going out with these super hot women haha says he always leaves tickets in the box office for these smoking hot chicks. Ermans a playa, but with his paycheck I could be too haha

Sounds like there really high on Diallo. Hard worker
Posted on 9/8/16 at 1:48 pm to TigerinATL
God bless Jrue and his wife. From a business standpoint, do we get some sort of amnesty from his contract if he is out for an extended period of time? I'm just wondering how that works.
