Nikola Pekovic is a RFA and is considered one of the better big men available behind Dwight Howard. Dude can rebound and wouldn't cost us as much as Dalembert.

Should be a rule: must at least look at our cap picture for five seconds or so before we post free agent options that aren't realistic lol

Just messing around but seriously.

Bring in Copeland with our exception. Shot 42% from three so that takes care of any deficiency with long range shooting.


Good call Copeland would be a nice fit

So you think Dalembert is going to make 8 figures?

Pekovic is about to get paid big bucks that we can't afford. Dalembert will be on a very small contract.

Dalembert would be cheaper at this point in his career.

T Wolves ain't letting him go. We would have to pay him 12 million dollars a year so the T Wolves wouldn't match. This has been brought up again and again since January. Do you even read this board?

Dalembert


I really like this pick up but contract is at $6.7 mil

He is entertaining offers from Portland

I would love if we could somehow figure out how to get Hickson here but I don't see that happening

Dalembert isn't coming to NO.

I guess I should read this board more often but I don't, sorry.

Pekovic is about to get paid 12-15 million.

Sameul Dalembert is a 32 year old free agent. His previous contract was $6m. His next one will be half of that or less.

Al Jefferson just inked for what, $14m? Expect close to the same for Pekovic.

I don't think you're a real NO basketball fan.

If you are you should be able to tell me who this is:

Just a thought to add to what I said earlier, I think we should add Aminu and Kenyon Martin. He probably wouldn't be too expensive and is a pretty good rebounder and defender. I don't really hear much talk about him in free agency.

Howard for Gordon with a sign and trade from the Lakers.

Never mind, i don't want that pussy. He makes CP3 look like a team first guy. "But...but...but...I can't win without playing with my friends." I hate this generation of NBA players. Bring back guys that despised each other. Could you see Bird saying well I can't beat Magic so let me go be a Laker? frick that.

Kenyon Martin


Wouldn't fit. Martin is old as shite and playing on bad knees. And besides he's a PF who plays at 6'8. Would make no sense whatsoever if we need to fix our hole at center.

IDK what he is looking for exactly. In NO he would get a ton of playing time. I am not as informed on Portland's needs?

My guess is 4-5 mill?

The only 3 we should be focusing on signing is either Iggy or Aminu... Other than that we need a high hustle center to put in 20 solid minutes


Evans is sayin to be the 6th man... But we have alot more days until the season starts. I think as of now he is the 6th man but alot will change when certain players don't go so quick off the board
While I was typing this we just got Jeff Withey from Portland!!
