re: Reports: Mekel to Pelicans deal done

I like having Austin as a backup 2 guard much much more than a backup PG, average to good defense against opposing bench players and a decent spot up three. He just can't set up an offense for shite.

We put a lineup of mekel/rivers/Cunningham/Ryno/ajinca out there, I could live with that for 10-12 min a game

Obviously some problems with it, but could still be serviceable if mekel is as adept at setting up teammates as people say. Big question mark for me though, is Monty good enough to be creative with the playing style to make it work, and that's yet to be seen IMO
