Biggest issues remain rim protection and shooting

We’re shuffled the decks a bit but the core issues we’ve had in the Zion era remain.
We traded one of our best shooters for a more athletic, younger but streakier guy.
We drafted a very talented big but not a guy that can protect the rim or play high level d.
We drafted a very dynamic guard who isn’t a good shooter yet.
I like the players. I don’t like the trade or the roster comp still.

We are also either gonna rely on a very raw rookie or Jordan Poole to be our primary point guard
Not good, Bob.

38% 3 pt shooter on 9.1 attempts. Bey shot 40% on 3s one year too, so hopefully he can return to that form.
Poole was ranked #8 on being blitzed. That should help our team out a lot with the PnR.
We shouldn’t be upset that we traded CJ for Poole/Bey. Especially when one improved tremendously last year and the other seem to regress.
Yves Missi is a great rim protector. People are underrating him a lot.
We needed ball handlers and play makers, something that we fixed this draft.

You traded a leader and adult in the room, for a less reliable and mature dumbass that you are now expecting to not be an immature dumbass.
That is the issue. They literally have one adult in the room with Herb and that is it.

Where do you get the immaturity from Jordan Poole from? Coulibaly and Carrington saw him as mentor. He watched general videos to learn how to become a leader. KD, Curry and Klay are all close to him. Curry even asked Poole to come workout with him during the off seasons. How he always asks questions to those guys. So before you call someone you don’t know an immature dumbass, maybe do some research and speak facts instead of speaking out your arse.
We had CJ for 4 years of being a leader and nothing has really changed.
Also Dejounte Murray is stepping up into the leader role. Last year he couldn’t do much because he was hurt and had a lot of personal things going on.

This trade wasn’t bad. The bad one was the Ingram trade given what the return was

Poole made 235 threes last season to break Beals record. CJ broke the Pelicans record the year before with 239 makes.
While CJ is more efficient, Poole takes much tougher shots half the time. Either way, Poole can really shoot the ball.

Funny enough, CJ’s lack of drawing fouls and additional lack of converting free throws cuts into his efficiency greatly. CJ’s career true shooting percentage is 55.5% while Poole’s is 56.2%.
Will Jordan make his threes is ultimately the question.

Poole is a very talented player and Beh brings some positive value in the trade. They do create some holes at the 5 and in experienced leadership, but the issue is mainly can they fill the voids the trade created.
Is it possible? Sure. It will be tough to do it well though.

Yeah I actually like the Pool/Bey trade more since it happened. That was a solid piece of work by Dumars.
We need to sign Luke Kornet with the MLE, he would fit well at center

Bey is going to be a solid bench wing. I was happy we got him. Poole is going to be cool. I just hope we flip him for draft assets.
