Buddy Hield ! You got to blame Dell Demps for that trade!

Bogey was never the same after the tear. What happens if we never traded Buddy?

It happens when players go to a more competent organisation.

It was a good trade at the time. Just really bad luck. Then Davis quit.

Probably get swept round 1 of the playoffs, if we make it. Had Boogie not gotten hurt, we could have made a great run in the playoffs that year

That such a Pelicans thing to happen

We finally saw what that team could be going up against the Rockets and we were set up to make some noise and then.....the curse struck.

Cousins was pure garbage

He played 50, maybe 60 games as a Pelican?

It blows my mind we traded away buddy for that piece of shite cousins

Prime Boogie >> Prime Buddy

Using a torn achilles to demerit a trade was dumb with Boogie and it's still dumb with Murray.

What?

This board almost universally agreed that AD was a top 3 player at the time. It became pretty clear early on that Boogie was the better player of the two when they were on the court together. Boogie was virtually unstoppable.

You have some weird revisionist history going on or just didn't watch the Pelicans at the time.

It was a great trade, but unfortunately the injury happened. Biggest what could have been in Pels history.

The whole idea is moronic. Buddy has two good games 8 years after we traded him so clearly the trade was a bad.

The Boogie trade was the best move Demps did as a gm, it also helped make people forget the huge mistake he made drafting Buddy over Murray. Before Boogie got hurt dude was putting up baby Joker numbers.

You either do not follow the NBA much or did not watch him play. No one could have predicted a future devastating injury. You make that trade 100 times out of 100.

Buddy is 32 playing for his 6th team on a $9.4 AAV contract. He would have made no impact here and done his journeyman gig regardless.

No. It was a bad trade. He wasn't going to re-sign with us. So he was a short term rental. We can try to rewrite it since he got injured. But he wasn't going to stay. We are lucky he took that stance since we didn't get stuck with the deal. But it was a desperate move..

Heild should have never been the pick. Almost all the experts had Murray ranked higher.

That being said, it was a really great trade to get Boogie. He went for far less than he should have.

Griff had the chance to get a few players like that, that could have changed the trajectory of our franchise.

I often wonder if you are just a troll or never really followed the actual games. He certainly was going to re sign with the Pelicans. We reportedly were going to give him a max deal before the injury. Also, from his own mouth, he said he really felt they had a chance to make it far, if not all the way, in those playoffs. He was very happy here.

You think Buddy is still a Pelican, 9 years after he was drafted?

That would be a franchise record.

He likes to spew out how much the NBA sucks, but always has a take. He falls into the category of the TD troll tryhards.
