He’s improving but so inconsistent. I’m torn but I think you keep him.

Well it’s a question and apparently you don’t know how to answer a question

If it's a question it's a terrible one. He has a 1.5 million dollar cap hit next year. So, are you asking if they should trade him at peak value? Are you asking if they should just cut him, even though he is on basically a minimum contract? Why would they do that?

It's a terrible question with little to offer in the one sentence after you ask the brain dead question.

Just take more time and really bring something to the table. Or.... just say nothing. Pick one.

Remember that time teachers used to say there are no stupid questions?

They lied

I mean i haven't seen every game but most I've seen Diallo has at least been a good rotational guy who's been getting better and better. I remember at least one other game like today where he's broken out.

Diallo's problem is he often hasn't known where to be on the court, but that's just an experience thing that will only come with playing time. I was ready to trade him when it looked like he wouldn't get playing time and ever develop. Those guys just become declining assets. But now that he's getting some burn I think you keep him unless you have a trade for a 20+ million level starter lined up.

His celebrations from the bench are worth the contract.

Would be more inclined to trade Niko than diallo. 10m+filler might get you a wing.

You are such a loser Crewz. God forbid not everyone on this board makes a living by posting articles on a poor traffic ESPN site for $10 a page

Hell yeah we should keep him. He’s cheap and developing. Unless we can use him in a trade, he definitely should be a part of the team.

Look can Crewz be a little vindictive sometimes? Perhaps.

However, just because he says something in a nasty way doesn’t mean he is wrong. The OP threw a pretty lazy question out there. It’s not like Diallo hasn’t come up at length on this board.

Am I saying Crewz is right? Not necessarily, but at least he goes out of his way to explain why he posts sarcastically. Most others will just sit there and troll you, and contribute nothing to the betterment of the board as a whole.

How small do you guys think MM's penis is? Because he sure does a lot of overcompensating on a Pelicans sub-forum of an LSU message board.

It’s a fricking message board and the op asked a question to start a dialogue. Crewz just decided it’s Mr.Perfect’s time to be an arse to. When he’s acting like this, id much rather he just stay away. When he’s the other half of his schizophrenic handle, he’s arguably the most must read poster on the board.

I’m with ATL, I was ready to write off Diallo. He just looked like a second coming of Aminu that was going to take way too long and burn valuable resources (practice, roster spot, and playing time). However, he’s shown a fearless side and a sort of odd, troll-like arrogance these past few games that I don’t think anyone else on the team has. I think that is cause for optimism coupled with his boundless energy. I mean he ATTACKED Monroe on both ends of the floor tonight and Monroe made Okafor physically appear like a twig standing side by side.

There are a lot of uneducated Pels fans. This isn’t tRant. We should encourage people who ask a legitimate question, even if it has been discussed within another topic. Diallo had not been the subject of a thread in several days, it’s not an issue for someone to post about him. Crews is just a miserable person that needs to stick to his blog
