Gentry is currently live on the Pelicans website with the media. He mentioned Jrue Holiday and Hill are in the best shapes of their lives.

He also mentioned Julius and Niko can start on different nights based on match ups and that they will be possible times all three bigs play.

He mentioned this may be the most talented team the Pelicans has ever had.

"X player is in the best shape of his life"
"X player has put on (5, 10, 15) pounds of muscle"
"X player is looking forward to the competition"
"X player has had another year in our system"
"X player fits our culture, we are looking forward to seeing what he can do"
"we are bringing (injured) X player along slowly, we want to be smart about it"

That's the perfect opportunity to have earned some more Gillette money.

Elfrid Payton on why he cut his hair: “I was just ready for something new...There’s a little more to it, but I’d rather not go into it right now.”

Is it me or do Jrue's arms look bigger than usual?

he looks jacked...evidently he really did work out all summer long.

here's solo:

quote:

Solomon Hill: "I am 100% of who I am today." In comparison to the end of last season, Hill did say performance tests indicate the strength in his injured leg are almost double now.

Solo did look a lot slimmer compared to last season so hopefully he can get himself back to the way he played defensively a couple of years ago.

AD looked downright giddy when talking about this team. That's promising to me. Jrue looks jacked.

Solo is a fantastic interview. He's a smart guy.

Blueitt is good too. Said Moore dominated him his first day playing him one-on-one.

You guys joke but I love this stuff.

Common theme is that players love this locker room and the culture that was built. Far cry from what it was 2-3 years ago. It's seriously worth noting.

you'll never believe this, but:

quote:

Frank Jackson says he spent about 3 1/2 weeks with @Jrue_Holiday11 and the rest of the Holiday family in California. Says that time spent was the best thing that happened to him over the past year and he's never trained like that before.

Hopefully Hill gives you something at the 4.

Like literally anything at this point Hill.
