He is a shooter but it is position and age that concern me. Griff says this is Jrue's team and he signs JJ.

last I checked... neither Jrue nor Lonzo will play all 48 minutes in every game... they'll have to get a breather at some point during the game

plus that's 1 hell of a 3 guard line-up if we're forced into playing that for whatever reason

It might be a lineup that we use anyway. Jrue and Lonzo both have the length to guard a lot of opposing SFs.

Love it. He isn’t worth that but we are in a good cap situation right now after getting rid of Hill and Davis

the Pels were a team that desperately needed outside shooting...and we signed one of the best 3 pt shooters in NBA history

this is also a rare case where Pels paid market value as well

I actually agree with ESPN for once. This seems like a vote of confidence from JJ in what the team is capable of. He probably could have chosen from several teams for a similar deal.

Exciting.

Pure shooting lineup

Jrue/Redick/Hart/Ingram/Zion

2 40% 3 pt shooters, teams wouldnt be able to crowd the paint

If Ingram can get to say 35-36%(very doable IMO)

Redick had an immensely positive impact in his time with Philadelphia. Now he gets to try something similar with a New Orleans team putting Zion Williamson, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Jaxson Hayes, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. An undervalued part of Redick’s game goes beyond the shooting. He’s one of the more efficient pick-and-roll options in the NBA. Teams either make the mistake of giving him too much room coming off the screen, they overplay it allowing him to drive, or they swarm him and he gives a pass to the screener. It was deadly with Joel Embiid as the big. It can be just as deadly with Zion barreling his way into a viral moment at the rim. A brilliant deal for the Pelicans without committing more than two years.

Grade: A

Everyone keeping up w the free agency frenzy? I’m pumped ab JJ Redick to #Nola & the @PelicansNBA! JJ is a HUGE Jrue Holiday fan. @Jrue_Holiday11 championed the recruiting effort of JJ & is a big reason why the deal got done. Leadership


Just in case anyone is questioning whether this is truly Jrue's team now.

maybe he likes to play with young guys

maybe he wants a low pressure situation or is angling to get into coaching

i'm somewhat curious. i figured he'd go to LAL for the min to ring chase

Bruh I want the record to reflect the FACT that I've been on the Jrue train since day fricking ONE.

shite I was a big fan of him when he was on Philly and went NUTS when we traded for him. Blew up my friend's (big philly fan) phone the instant it happened. Talking about how Dell trade raped them by giving up Nerlens for Jrue.
