@daldridgetnt: Pelicans among the many teams that have inquired about Jameer Nelson since his release. But he's in holding pattern like almost everyone.

They weren't kidding when they said they were exploring every option.

Because you can never spend too much money on guards

Exactly what I said when I read this tweet.

Hopefully that means we have something lined up for another guard.

Pathetic this is somewhat newsworthy. I'm so ready for the "dominoes" to start falling!!

I heard AD for Nelson can someone confirm?

If he's coming for the vet minimum or a really low salary, you could do worse at backup pg/4th-5th Guard.

Nelson isn't going to get much more than the minimum. Back-up PG is probably our 2nd biggest hole after SF. I assumed this would be met with joy since you all hate Roberts but I guess not.

I joke around about Roberts, but I'm happy if he's our 5th guard. If he's getting 15 minutes plus a game I want to puke.

Another 6' guard no less.

It's almost comical. Seems every transaction and all the news concerning this team centers around guards. Guess we'll have to see how this all works out.

The only news about guards that I want to hear is that Sandy has a new home.

I wouldn't mind Nelson if Roberts and Rivers are gone.

Probably just seeing what his asking price is. Already got cash in his pocket from the buyout, don't mind them seeing if he can be had for a discount.

I hope we sign some kind of veteran PG. If Rivers is traded , the only PG we will have behind Jrue is Russ Smith.

You think he's goes for minimum in this market? He still averaged 12 and 7 last season. I could see him getting the MLE for a couple seasons.

Well:

Roberts is gone pretty much

Rivers will probably be traded.

Smith is a rookie

Bring nelson in for cheap as a vet back up PG thats been a quality option that can hit 3s isnt dumb at all.

You would be much more comfortable with him running the show if jrue got nicked up than the other 2

People always overpay at the beginning of free agency and we always say the market is high. Towards the end you start getting bargains like Jameer. I think he could get him around a 2-3 million dollar contract.
