Devonte' Graham (26 years old): 37.7% FG, 37.5% 3PT (8.7 attempts), 84.2 FT (2.9 attempts), 5.4 assists, 1.5 turnovers, 109.2 offensive rating, 107.1 defensive rating, 21.1 usage %


Lonzo Ball (23 years old): 41.4% FG, 37.8 3 PT (8.3 attempts), 78.1 FT (1.2 attempts), 5.7 assists, 2.2 turnovers, 114.2 offensive rating, 113.7 defensive rating, 20.2 usage %



Devonte Graham - 4 years $47 million
Lonzo Ball - 4 years $85 million






Yes we gave up a lottery protected first for Graham, but if we make the playoffs Graham is probably one of the reasons why.

Gets to the line almost triple, better A/TO ratio, better defensive rating.

He doesn’t have the size or potential though.

It’s not a downgrade and it’s a much better contract. The acquisition cost is high though.

Equal or better production for half the price

Gave up a pick when everybody couldn’t wait to trade our pick this year

I dig it

until the pelicans get to the playoffs and win more they're unfortunately going to have to pay a premium to get players in

Kind of surprised the difference on defensive rating. Especially how some say Graham isn’t great at it.

By far the most overrated part about Zo was his defense. He came in with all this hype around his defense and he sucked.

That may have a lot to do with scheme to be fair, but Lonzo's defense has always been overrated.

The funny thing is that Charlotte fans like his defense a lot.

He probably tries hard. When little guys give effort it makes them look better than they actually are defensively.

His actual defensive metrics are pretty arse.

Ball needs a shot heavy player like Lavine next to him. He was never going to be good here.

That makes sense because Lonzo looks like he gives no effort on defense.

I like the Lonzo fit in Chicago with Lavine and White able to handle the ball in the halfcourt.

Do you believe we are a playoff team???

You swapped a average pg for another average pg.

The Pels are going nowhere fast and it's sad we will piss Zion away like AD and it will be nobody's fault except benson and he ineptitude to hire the proper front office

So we swapped an average pg for an average pg and saved 10 million per year to do it? And if we miss the playoffs, we keep our pick?

People act like that isn’t a big deal. Fact is, if we were losing Zo, we better bring in a player(s) that is exciting…..which…well……….we haven’t so far…
