Unless there's a trade to come, they basically have 15 slots filled.

This reminds me of the Derrick Favors signing.



We had to pay Favors something like $18 million. This is not that.

Not quite what I meant, but that will suffice.


What I meant was “What gaping holes do we still have on the roster?”


We may not be as good as some of our previous rosters but we aren’t going into the season with Theis as our starting center again.

Of course he doesn’t. They could have signed prime MJ and they’d shite on us. It’s very popular in national circles to bash us, it gets a good laugh and clicks.

They aren’t calling balls and strikes.

There are no gaping holes. They have every position with decent depth with NBA level players.

The holes are skillset.

Outside shooting is very bad.

come on man you know that’s not true. Any bashing the pelicans have received for roster moves has been well fricking earned

This will be Julius Randle 2.0, he'll play well to go somewhere and get a big contract

IF fully healthy (I know):

PG- Murray/ Fears/ Jose
SG- Herb/ Poole/ Hawkins
SF- Murphy/ Bey/ Peavy
PF- Zion/ Queen/ Matkovic
C- Missi/ Looney/ Dickinson

Subject to change. But it’s a talented roster.

as is perimeter defense. So we have a team that will struggle to score that has to outscore teams to win

but yeah, nothing to ridicule here

No outrage, but it's a very similar outcome if he plays to his ability

Trade Jose/ Hawk and add Malcolm Brodgon.

And probably add another vet SG at #2.

I like the Looney signing but would have rathered someone in front of Missi or atleast bigger.

Moving Hawkins and GTA for a shooter would be wonderful.

Sure sure. And neither will Murray, Herb, Trey, Zion, Missi etc etc. Doesn’t matter. Poole willl start when the season begins, and will be a major major piece of our entire season either way.
