Having a center that actually gives a shite

When you have a big that doesn’t play like he has cement in his shoes it’s always a plus

So many threads to bump on people hating the trade and signing.

We would have a black hole in the middle without him. Hayes is awful

Speaking of centres, Hayes is going to take 10 years to develop. We really should have taken Reddish

His bball intelligence is light years, I REPEAT LIGHT YEARS ahead of anything we've had at the 5 since boogie.

Lol, Reddish is 6'9

And a 7’1 wingspan

I’ll give Hayes some time, but Reddish looks legit. Efficient offensive player and prides himself on D, which he’s already very good at.

Yea because we need another guard

Reddish played the small ball 5 at some points tonight

Favors drove me crazy. He just looked old and broken down and couldn’t run. He was lackadaisical at times and appeared not to give two fricks. Omar Asik level hands and shot.

It was hard to reconcile with the player he was in Utah.

Skiakam only had 6 total rebounds today. That's some serious impact Adam has boxing out. I remember the first game last season where Skiakam just had has way on the glass. It never felt like the Pelicans were struggling on the glass at any point when Adams was in the game. When was the last time you felt at ease watching this team on the boards?

I said this 800 times since we signed Adams. Heart, effort, power, strength, gravitational forces

Still looks completely lost on defense.
