Why are we buying out Shawne?


We might not be. The Pelicans App has a profile of Cole, Williams and Hamilton in the trade press release. They also have an article saying Ish was waived, with the last sentence saying "New Orleans roster now stands at 15."

I think you are overthinking that a bit.

Good trade not awesome trade, the Thunder and Bucks made Awesome trades

I know everyone thinks this trade is amazing because we only gave up Salmon, and you are right. However, an awesome trade makes us a consistent playoff contention team and I still do not think we make playoffs with how the Thunder are playing and how good they got and the Suns definitely still a good team now

No, an awesome trade makes your team a lot better for not much.

What assets could we have given away to get one of those "awesome trades" that you're talking about?

It's pretty obvious you know nothing about basketball.

We gave up someone with little to no value for a solid back up point.

Bucks made awesome trades
yeah by completley downgrading at point guard. Stick to bleacher report, your knowledge fits well over there.

You forget how terrible Brandon knight was. I think Kidd will make MCW great.

ETA: Didn't they get Miles Plumber too? He can provide some solid minutes at backup 5.

Think about how long the bucks back three are: MCW, Kris Middleton, G Antemekoumbo (frick me).

Let us pray to the basketball gods that Hamilton is 5X times better than Asik and he limits Asik and Anderson's minutes

This year he was good, year before he was average. His years in Detroit? Terrible.

If Kidd can work wonders with Knight, he can make an Allstar of MCW.

Ryan Anderson

Obviously you dont watch basketball outside of Pelicans. .. MCW is pretty good and has a few triple doubles this year and since im assuming you dont know who Jason Kidd is. He is a player that played in the NBA that was considered a tall point guard and plays alot like MCW does. Jason Kidd wanted a point guard that played like him

Because I do not agree with your opinion?

You know how much you don't like Ryan Anderson? That's how much Monty likes him. If Monty was even lukewarm about him we'd probably see more Asik or Dante on nights he's clearly not helping more than he hurts.

You're going to be severely disappointed. Hamilton is not a good basketball player, at all.

Im aware he is not good, I am just hoping he can play solid defense and can actually catch the ball

I've always felt like Monty favors certain players (ryno) so he'll play him more often than the better player (asik)

Those are attributes of a good player. Once again, you are going to be severely disappointed.

as the only half decent player on an absolutely dreadful team

He's one of the worst shooters in the NBA and averges nearly 4 TOs per game.

He's one percentage point behind where Brandon Knight was in his first two years.
