Get out while you can.

Don't we have it then because you left out Frank Jackson who is also hurt.
I'm a little worried Jrue put on too much muscle to guard bigger players. Looked slow last night.
Hypo: Cavs offer Kyrie for Boogie. Do you make that trade?
Posted by TheJruth on 7/22/17 at 11:40 am
Just pure hypothetical: If Cavs offered Kyrie for Boggie and maybe some additional assets like Diallo and a 1st would you pull the trigger?
I would in a heartbeat, but I'm cold blooded. Feels like a messed up thing to do to Boogie but I wouldn't really care.
Interested to hear the debate.

Training camp rosters should be coming out soon huh?
Meh but mostly because of Solomon Hill starting with Rondo. If we had a shooter on the wing I'd be all for it.

Ya seems like starting Rondo/Jrue/Hill/AD/Boogie could be a mistake.
I like the idea of taking out Hill for more in that lineup. But then Hill has to go to the bench................... where he will be pretty useless.
I still think they need a 6th man type. Just someone whose sole job is just to score points. Not sure Crawford is good enough to fill that role just on his own.
Still think Beasley is the obvious solution that is still on the market.

Nooooope. Our bench is hot hot garbage as it stands.
re: Pels meeting with Rondo

I have a question: Rondo is 32... May never get another contract worth more than the minimum after this year:
Would you be willing to give him a small 3 year deal just to be our teams vet (guy who has been to and won championships)?
If you look at the roster we have next to no playoff experience and guys who have never really won in the NBA. That's kind of scary.
I like him as much as anyone in that small role.
Can also start if there is an injury or lead a bench.
Rondo would just have to commit to that role and I would give him something like 3 years 10 million.

Ya I'm here for this. Rondo with AD. I just want to see it. Ally-oooppppsss for dayzzzzz.
They have played well but are unproven in the NBA. Regardless, their solid backups likely.
The problem is if Cook and Quinn are 2nd String and someone gets hurt for 20 games, the Pelicans are screwed if they ever have to start.
Not because they are bad, just because they need more NBA minutes before even sniffing a starter role on a playoff team.

Jalen Jones been a guy I thought could make it for a long time.
Still think he needs to get in much better shape. Also he plays a bit out of control at times. But his size and ball skills are so intriguing. Would love to put him on a 2-way and have him lose 15 pounds.

Could give up Asik, Ajinca, and QPon. Dell might not even do that. That's basically 2 more years of bad contract.

LOL. That would be hilarious. The coaching staff hated him. Darren Erman was not a fan.

I don't hate this trade if Jackson commits to being the Pelicans 6th man and playing 20 mins a game.
Could allow Pelicans to give AD/Boogie/Jrue max minutes together.
Other than that, I don't see how this trade makes any sense.

I found that 42 piece today actually pretty terrible. I don't know who wants to read 5,000 words that could be summed up in like 500 words max.
Also, I couldn't find the one piece of information I was looking for, What does the hard cap actually prevent teams from doing and why is that scaring Dell off?. It's probably in there. I just wasn't willing to do the digging in that monstrosity of an article.
BSS guys. Brevity. Please dear lord. Brevity.
TBW is kind of useless besides humor. David has good cap info before the BSS guys at times. TBW have a better twitter follow, especially during the games. BSS is usually 42 just being a prick.
I also find the BSS comedian Chris Trew to be the least funny guy on earth.
p.s. This thing never get's old. The most awkward thing I have ever seen.

Not very. Like I said better start praying that QPon comes back from the dead and Ty Lawson puts his life back together.
P.S. if they add Lawson and Beasley, I think the bench is still salvageable.
A bench of Lawson/Crawford/Miller/Beasley/Diallo at least stays a float on the offensive end.

It's also the Summer League. I'm sure the coaches are telling him to take all the shots. They think of him as a 1st round pick.
I mean Beasley shot 42% on 3-pointers last season, granted he only took about 47. Still he has multiple seasons shooting above 37% from 3.
Beyond that he shot 53% from the field.
He also plays the 4 at this point and maybe in a pinch the 3.
He is bad on D. But our bench at this point needs someone to run the offense. That is why they wanted Swaggy. They need a legit 6th man. I think Beasley makes a lot of sense in that spot.
Butttt Boogie and Beasley could be a lot. Though I would say the same about Swaggy and Boogie.
