We better get some nice deal back as I would have matched it.

We literally cleared salary cap for them to sign Lonzo.

It really is. Matching the offer would have been much better.

People have been warning you guys that you don't get much in return for sign and trades.

well...yeah.
they got something which is better than nothing
really curious how anyone could have thought otherwise


Pels held all of the leverage. Most people said they'd be okay at $20 per but he got $21 mil. All pels had to do was match it.

I’ll hold back knee jerk reactions until I see what other moves we make, but it keeps us way more cap flexible for sure

RICH PAUL DOESN’T WANT HIM HERE. HE WOULD BE A PROBLEM IF WE MATCHED.

You want an AD situation again?

To match their offer, if that's the best offer they were gonna make. Match it and move him at the trade deadline.

Because that wouldn’t submarine a pivotal season at all. I’m sure Zion would love that situation.

We were never going to match. Never.

You don’t get a lot in S&Ts. Y’all relax.

Let’s see what happens. Or just melt

Then why wouldn't you trade him at the deadline since RFA S&Ts never net much?

Even if we weren’t going to match. We had 3 days to look at offers or get better offers.

I don’t think Lonzo would care if he went to Clippers, Cwltics or Knicks either

That is awful, Griff needs to go. They could have just matched and gotten a better return later if Lonzo pouted.

Satoransky and Temple can't be all we get. But I get the sense that the Pelicans didn't really value Ball, especially if he wasn't all in.
