re: Steven Adams extension

I don’t think it’s a bad signing and it somewhat clears up the reason for trading for a guy on his last year, but I don’t really understand what they are doing. They are acquiring all of these draft picks and swaps but then trade some of those assets for a center under a hefty contract. If you want to build slow then do that, through the draft and maybe use those swaps down the line for a trade maybe, but it seems like they have a foot in each door. Keeping Bledsoe and extending adams seems contradicting. You’re keeping guys around instead of acquiring more assets for what, get you to the 9-10 seed? And I actually love Adams as our center lol

You can’t have a bunch of rookies running around. You need veterans. NAW gives a lot of credit to JJ for helping him develop. You want to create a mixture of both like what Miami has done or what Atlanta is trying to do. The roster can only hold 15 players. Those assets you’re talking about was from MILWAUKEE not from Pelicans. What do you expect those picks turn into? They were a late first and 2 second rounders. Teams can actually buy those picks from other teams. It’s not like they were lotto picks.

Gobert & Bam both have 1%er traits.
The offense basically runs through Bam & eventually he’ll develop a stretch game.
Gobert is the best defensive big in the league.
You get paid for stuff like that. Not setting screens
Well Adams is getting 35 over 2 years correct? So he isn't getting paid for stuff like that lol

I don't think they looked at the lottery protected pick as a huge asset, and I'm not one to really care about second round picks.
I think they are trying to balance between creating a culture with vets around our young guys, and planning for the future. IMO, they've done a pretty good job of that these last two seasons. Unfortunately the Zion injury derailed the beginning of last season, and COVID finished off the rest of it
