David Aldridge @daldridgetnt 8 minutes ago

Hearing Pelicans, fresh off re-signing Jrue Holiday, will be engaging with veteran G Nick Young, last with the Lakers, today

eh. Despite being a complete knucklehead and selfish player, he can shoot and is good offensively.

Goes against the Crewz "they want high BBall IQs" Mantra

Absolutley need some players that can shoot the quick three off the pass.

Boogie , AD, Ethan and Jrue can make threes; but they only take them when they are wide open when they have time to wind up like a free throw.

And swaggy p is the man so I'm IN

Aldridge mentions ty Lawson too. He's the kinda guy we get for cheap and hope he gets back to what he was. He was decent last year for a bad Kings team. Still fairly young

Supposed interest in Young and Meeks makes the Justin Holiday rumor seem a little fake.

Serious question. I know we need shooters but I feel like targeting Meeks and Young is essentially targeting Etwaun Moore along with all of his strengths and weaknesses and I fail to see the upside

I'm more than fine with Nick Young. He can shoot the ball really well and he should be pretty affordable, maybe around $5-6 mil a year? He's kind of a weird dude, but I'm fine with him.

I just watched and don't get what you're getting at? If anything the only thing I took from it is he's going there.

Green snapped chatted a picture of himself and Young with "Warriors?" in text on the screen.

Young recently got an offer from the Warriors... which I believe to be for all of the team's MLE

GSW's MLE isn't as big as NOP's... which means the Pels can offer Swaggy P more money... and we'd also have more playing time to offer him as well

but... GSW has Steph & Klay & Iggy & Draymond & 2 rings out of the last 3 years... and that just may tip the scales in GSW's favor

ETA: I believe there are other offers out there that Young is considering other than 1 from NOP & GSW

I hope we do not overcommit to Young. He is already 32. A max MLE deal would have us paying him through age 36.

Looks like Jamal Crawford may be sent to Atlanta where he will be bought out. Once that happens, he has expressed interest in going to the GSW. If so, that may send Swaggy P here.
