AD is the most exciting player in basketball right now, and its not that close. He can do things no other player can

He and Kevin Arnovitz talk about Pels injuries at the beginning of the new podcast.

Lowe says that we're "paying the piper" for trading multiple players/picks for Jrue and Reke. Arnovitz intelligently notes that "no team could easily handle losing ~6 of their top 10 players."

I'm disappointed he didn't give well deserved props to Joel and Wes

I've told this board several times how jealous I am of the Pels TV broadcast team. I freaking love Joel Myers, and Wesley is solid. Watched them on league pass regularly. And Houston's is just awful.
So this blurb on the Rockets made me
Dead. On. Sorry for the hijack.

the broadcast table features the league’s shrillest group of homers. Bill Worrell, the play-by-play guy, is a legend, and both Clyde Drexler and Matt Bullard — the third man, like Hollywood Hogan — know more basketball than I ever could. It’s a shame the rah-rah nonsense and complaints about officiating drown out the insights.
Dead. On. Sorry for the hijack.

That's basically the whole reason why I read the article. I feel cheated.

from lowe's "35 predictions" article today

10. Anthony Davis Wins MVP and Defensive Player of the Year This could be our chance to vanquish the silly notion that the MVP has to go to someone from one of the league’s top two or three teams. The Pelicans can barely field an NBA rotation right now, and Davis, Mr. Limitless, is going to put up monster numbers while keeping them afloat until the cavalry arrives. If Davis emerges as the league’s best two-way player and carries a battered New Orleans team to the no. 6 seed, he should have a chance at history. Calling Davis for Defensive Player of the Year is premature, but I can’t find a safer choice. Rudy Gobert will get a lot of preseason votes, and he was the league’s best rim protector last season. But his résumé is limited and teams are ready for him now. Ibaka never made the mini-leap required for him to win this award, and all the other classic big-man candidates — Marc Gasol, Howard, Noah, Roy Hibbert — have slipped. Kawhi Leonard has a real chance to repeat, and Draymond Green is a multi-positional monster. But Davis already smothers people of all sizes one-on-one, and he has the raw tools of a dominant help defender.

11. New Orleans Jumps at Least 10 Spots in Points Allowed per Possession The Pellies ranked 22nd last season, even while putting up stingy numbers when Davis and Omer Asik shared the floor. The team defense was an uncoordinated mess. Erman, the team’s lead assistant, will change that after playing a central role in Golden State’s rise from laughingstock to juggernaut. He lives and breathes defense. He might not have a single non-paper plate in his apartment. I would have called a top-10 finish if New Orleans were in the ballpark of healthy, but it’s not, and a 10-spot jump is plenty.

The league is so poor on wings who can shoot 3s and adequately defend both shooting guards and small forwards that I could see a team like New Orleans talking itself into Nick Young — even with Young’s deal running three more seasons

Interesting enough I saw a ranking of all broadcast crews that had HOU #1.

Swaggy P plays defense? I honestly don't know, but based in his chucker reputation I always assumed that he didn't.

Not sure what to think about Swaggy P on the Pels...I love the Swaggy P gif...but that might change if he played for us...

22. Denver Finally Cuts Bait on at Least One Veteran
In the past, Denver has asked a ton for Wilson Chandler — two firsts, or one quality young player and a first, per league sources — but it feels inevitable that it’ll come down on that price once it falls hopelessly out of the playoff race. On the flip side, the contract extensions for Chandler and Danilo Gallinari increased their trade value; teams have more cap space than they can spend, and they’d be happy to fill some of it with one of those guys. The most likely outcome is that no deal happens, but that’s boring. Chandler feels gettable, so I’ll go out on that limb.
Really Denver? 2 1sts for Chandler? Hopefully they come down, because he seems like one of the more realistic targets at SF.
On a related note, his prediction that KD resigns in OKC for 1 year is interesting both in that it makes sense and how it impacts every team targeting KD. Unless things fall apart in OKC this season, it seems like you'd need to act as if KD won't be a FA next season. To me that means trading Gordon/Ryno this season rather than overpaying to keep them next season should be a priority.

right, or just letting them expire
I don't think you are getting takers for Gordon
Anderson though might get you an asset if he agrees to re sign with the new team

The KD comment is definitely interesting, especially since it would align him with GOATbrook's pending free agency.

BUY: Alvin Gentry Dreams
Don’t talk to me about the Tyreke Evans injury. Get out of here with your “inevitable six-week Jrue Holiday injury” concern-trolling. No matter what happens, the Pelicans deserve to be taken seriously for three reasons. First of all, Anthony Davis is there, and facing him is likely to be even more unfair. Second, it’s not like the Pelicans were healthy last season, and they still won 45 games. The difference between Monty Williams and Alvin Gentry should be worth five or six wins in close games alone. The offense will be supercharged now, particularly as the team slowly realizes how deadly it can get with Brow at the 5. It’s actually the other side of the court that’s most exciting, though. Adding Gentry was a coup on its own, but pairing him with Darren Erman running the defense takes it to a whole different level. Now we get to see what happens when the Brow worships in the Church of Thibs all season. Despite all the tools, Davis wasn’t quite a dominant defender under Monty and the Pelicans could never put together a good defense. That should start to change this season, and when you pair it with an improved offense, this team’s ceiling starts to rise. Along the same lines: It’s not as if the Brow’s ceiling wasn’t already limitless, but one of the most gifted players on earth now has a brilliant offensive coach and an assistant who will help him unleash his full powers on defense. Buy every share of Pelicans stock you can find.

I meant more package one or both with our 2016 pick. This is a bit unrealistic, but a Gordon + Ryno for Tobias Harris and Channing Frye kind of deal. Something like that is what we should be aiming for.
