VeezyLife,

First of all... sweet name bro. If YOU knew anything about basketball you would know that AD doesn't have near enough experience to put a team like the pels on his back. He left college way too early, needs some minutes in the Dleague to gain confidence

No deal for Pierre. I guess they couldn't find a good trade.
quote:

Guard Pierre Jackson, the rookie sensation of the NBA Development League, has been unable to reach a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, who hold his rights after drafting him 42nd overall last year.

Shortly before Pelians point guard Jrue Holiday was ruled out indefinitely with a stress fracture in his right tibia on Jan. 10, representatives for Jackson requested and received permission to explore trade opportunities. Jackson's agents, who also represent Holiday, met with Pelicans general manager Dell Demps this week, but Jackson still doesn't have a contract with the Pelicans.

..."The original plan for Pierre was to play in Europe and develop for a year," Bryant said. "Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, he returned to the U.S. He joined the Idaho Stampede and has become the D-League's top prospect. We believe his game advanced much quicker than the Pelicans expected."
