I'm curious what kind of minutes we promised Mathurin to sign here like that.
He knows that:
1) He will be in a contract year
2) He will have a greenlight to chuck
3) we will be bad
He is going to absolute try to score score score to get that next deal

Idk if my math is correct but trading Poole for Turner should get us under the tax
No one wants Poole

I think this is Joe trying to find their Julius Randle, NAW, or an even more ambitious Chauncey Billups (not happening)
Julius and Mathurin are similar as they were high draft picks who put up numbers but they were empty. Then he signs ironically enough a 2 year deal with the pels and averages a career high. Then leaves and continues that trajectory with the Knicks

It doesnt matter, Poole was always a salary filler. The asset is the 2nds or 1st for the other player.
No team can take back Turner or another $30mil player without sending it out. That's not where the value is.

Yeah, I’m concerned he’s going to be more worried about getting his rather than playing team basketball

Dumars did something good and we added a 17ppg bench player that we otherwise didn't have.
Can we go 1 day without turning a positive into a negative?
Very Unfun Bunch of you.

Those aren't necessarily being positive or negative
just statements of fact as to his reasoning coming here

Saying "He will chuck and we will be bad" opens the floodgates for the pessimists.
I agree with the sentiment that he will have a greenlight and there's less pressure/ outside noise here.

The league perception is what it is. We have seen a lot of players on other teams and former players comment on the state of this franchise.
We shouldn't have any illusions. Other players think we stink.
That doesn't mean we will though

That's why we're send Poole out. He can't be any worse.

And this mindset would have him getting vet minimums the rest of his career

No sign and trade AND we didn’t have to use draft capital to dump Hawk?

Pretty sure a Hawkins for Johnson swap would be fine and keep Grizzlies under the tax easily. Not sure why reaggregation comes into play unless Pels want Johnson going elsewhere for a 2nd to go back to Memphis. Or, could we be trying to do a Poole/Hawkins for Grant/Johnson (or Johnson going elsewhere).

I think there's a few things in play. We are probably looking at several player options in the Peavy- Hawk asset range and also bigger deals including Poole + other assets.

Very good deal for the pels at this salary.

17ppg bench player
He averaged over 17 points a game last year while shooting only 21% from 3. The previous 3 years, he averaged 36% on his 3’s. If he gets that back, he could be very, very good. This was a great deal for the Pelicans.

You're looking at just his time with the clippers. He shot fell apart after the trade.

Good call. That’s exactly what I was doing. My bad.
Posted on 8/26/26 at 6:37 pm to whatiknowsofar
He shots a career low in volume of with the Clippers as well, so it's not like Poole where he looks to chuck up 9-10 threes from anywhere on the floor. So I don't worry too much about his Clippers stint. I think his efficiency can be improved by just taking the right threes(C&S) and in rhythm which he showed he was capable of doing with the Pacers earlier in the season before he got traded.
He has his flaws but a lot of them are fixable. He just needs to buy in which will be important for his future in the league especially considering this is basically a 1 year deal.
