I get your point but you cant look at the draft as a constant. This draft looks like it will be better than the average draft.
With that being said, the sad reality isn’t that we took Zion first overall. Every team would’ve taken him 1st 100/100 times. The issue I struggle with is would he have i...

Murray is finally expected to be back but on a minutes restriction. Seven other Pels could miss: Jose Alvarado (hamstring), Brandon Ingram (calf), Jordan Hawkins (back), Herbert Jones (shoulder), Karlo Matkovic (Willie), Trey Murphy III (knee), Zion Will...

we started November with a victory over the Pacers. Since then, the pelicans have only won one other game this month. Other notes:
-Both teams have 8 players listed on the injury report. For the Pacers, Myles Turner and Johnny Furphy are listed as que...

[quote]Y’all are delusional
This isn’t a prime AD or CP3 where they just want to play winning basketball.[/quote]
You’re right, that’s why AD went for 3 young players, 3 1sts, a pick deferment, and a swap.
I didn’t say we’d get that, I said that’s what I’d ask for. As frustrating as Zi...

I’m looking for at [i]least[/i] salary relief, a promising young player, 2 good 1sts, and a swap.
Depending on the team and the young player, that could fluctuate. My first calls would be to the few franchises that are just as dysfunctional as us that maybe desperate for some buzz like Chicago, ...
re: Zion for Vucevic
Posted by Baron on 11/23/24 at 12:26 pm
I think you were correct to target Chicago, a team with inconsistent leadership and maybe hungry for some buzz. Short-selling their future is a good idea, my only point is Vuc is strictly salary filler that would require us to take more if he’s included.
If Vic is included, then it would take som...

[quote]I get not wanting Vuc- to me hes just a stop gap center- not some franchise building block. The goal would be the draft picks honestly. [/quote]
I understand this sentiment, but to be fair that’s not what you said in your first post. You made it sound like Vuc was the target and picks were...

[quote]Seems like his defense has been better this year and I thought KAT was the worst rim protecting C in the league.[/quote]
Vuc is on the floor, the bulls allow 23.1 fga in the restricted area and players shoot 71.9% on Vuc in those situations. Both of those numbers are worst in the league am...

[quote]By the way Vucevic has played great basketball this year.[/quote]
The advanced stats say that Vuc is by far the worst rim protecting C in the league this year. I know it’s early and small sample size, but he hasn’t been able to protect the rim in years, so this is probably not an outlier ...

re: Elfrid Payton signed, Nowell waived
Posted by Baron on 11/20/24 at 9:08 am
Nowell was signed off the street and averaged 21 minutes for us. To put that into context, that’s about how many minutes guys like Tari Eason, Isaiah Joe, Caruso, Naji Marshall, and Derek Lively play. It’s only a couple less than Kuminga, Hield, and Podziemski. That doesn’t even consider that he’s s...

A win tonight puts us atop the West Group C standings. Was hoping we’d hear some good injury news today, but sounds like CJ and Hawkins are still out.
For the Mavs, Luka is listed as questionable after missing his last game against OKC with a “knee contusion.” Hopefully for the second time in 5 d...
