are you being serious here, saying Dyson Daniels can take Larry Nance Jr's role as our backup 5?
No I mentioned him playing the backup PF role which he has. He has also played small 5 (terribly). We are more than likely going to see a cheap backup at the backup 5 (obviously).
Not that it really matters if we are truly going to play 5 out next year. He will be somewhere in the corner behind the 3 point line.
Edit: Larry is not a 5, no matter how hard the Pelicans tried to make him be.

If Dyson is even on the team next year. I wouldn’t be surprised if hes tossed in a trade package with BI. Could be nothing but found it interesting Griff talked about Trey and Hawkins but no mention of Dyson at all.

Anytime Larry has played the 4 for us, it's been terrible.
Dyson is not a backup 4 for anyone. Yes he can guard some small ball 4's out there, but that's not what he is in the league.
And as my best friend Pels_Yaz said, there's a good chance Dyson isn't with us next year. I think they'll decide if they want to keep Dyson or Naji going forward, but it won't be both.

Seems like at least 2 people havent been paying attention to the role Larry plays.

Even though Dyson can hold his own against bigs on switches, him being a permanent backup big should not be plan A. And I say that as someone that can see him bulking up long term and being a small ball 5. But that's in small doses. He's an elite wing defender, using him against back up bigs regularly is just not the best use of what he brings.
