I'm hearing there is mutual interest between the New Orleans Pelicans and free-agent-to-be Andray Blatche. Keep an eye on that after July 1.


At this point any leaks of interest in a player are usually from the agent to drive up the price, but mutual interest seems reasonable in this case.

I like it. Seems like a good piece for us at the 5

Ditto. He improved a good bit the last few years and seems like a really good fit for our ~20mpg big. I don't see where Smiht would fit for us if we brought Blatche in, though.

It depends on the other moves they make. Signing Blatche would take up at least $3-$4 million of the MLE. If you wanted to upgrade SF you'd almost be forced to trade for one at that point. Withey could end up part of a package to bring back a SF, in which case you would have room for Smith.

I like Smith, but I'd rather have Withey than Smith at this point.

Count me in. He's the type of player we need at the 5.

I would like Blanche playing along side Davis. But, I think he resigns with the nets once Garnett decides to retire.

Didn't he punch a teammate or get into some sort of altercation when he was with the wizards a few years back? Can't remember.

Yeah I would def be on board with this. Love Jason Smith but truth is he's too injury prone.

I would love this... Blatche is a very talented player. Hes 1 of those guys I thought should see way more minutes than he actually does. Very skilled big man.

He threw down with javale McGee if I recall. Also got shot in a carjacking, arrested for soliciting a hooker who was an undercover, did the gun thing w arenas. out of shape , locker room cancer etc

Supposedly turned over a new leaf. I wanted him before he went to NJ. Averages 17/9 in his career when getting 30+ mpg with a block. Still only 27 too

He hasn't really gotten into trouble the last few years IIRC so that's good.

Would love to have him
