Now they can trade that bum Hawk. Reeves will be better than him ...

re: Pelicans Summer league observations

Missi - Raw as hell. His hands have been the biggest disappointment.
Karlo - He's been awesome. Far and away the best player on the team
Reeves - I like his handle and ability to pass. He's shown he can score in multiple ways
Hawkins - Huge disappointment. Still can't handle or pass. Doesn...
re: NBA Offseason officially kicks off, Ingram’s days in NOLA coming to an end per Stein

[quote]Hawkins likely has little value, very late 1st at best, so this seems to make sense.[/quote]
I doubt he's worth a 1st. It's the whole reason I hated the pick. If you can get a guy like gary trent on the minimum why would a team give a 1st for Hawk? ...

[quote]Sure but is he worth Hawkins AND a first? Seems like an overpay.[/quote]
Players like hawkins are just not that valuable. Look at Gary Trent. That would be a pretty good outcome for Hawk and Trent just signed a minimum deal. Same for a guy like Malik Beasely....

re: Is griff just being a sore loser?
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 7/17/24 at 7:33 am
I think Griff's ego is bruised. He's been reportedly very high on BI his whole time here. To find out the rest of the league isn't high on him must hurt.

[quote]Missi is a spaz on offense when he's not diving to the basket for an alleyoop. His also looks like a poor rebounder at this stage. He's physical and athletic but he is really limited right now.[/quote]
The rebounding is my biggest gripe. You’re huge and athletic, go up and get the rebound....

re: Griff: BI is "mechanically incapable" of being traded under the new CBA rules
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 7/16/24 at 10:55 am
[quote]Exactly. If you’re not extending him, then accept sunk cost and trade him. Otherwise letting him play out his contract and walk is absolutely moronic. But its also on par with what Griffin does- I swear no other NBA owner would let him get away with this.[/quote]
It's so stupid. He's a bad...

We are kind of stuck until BI is off the roster, IMO. Trey is the future at BI's position for the Pels.
We don't have salary cap room for a better center until we are able to trade BI or he leaves in free agency next summer. We also need some of BI's salary space to resign Trey.
Optim...

[quote]if Ingram is chasing a max contract, this is going to be really bad... he'll need stellar stats and accolades to earn that max, and if that's the case, he'll be even more of a black hole with the ball, taking more contested (more than likely) shots, not increasing his 3pt attempts (he's more ...

[quote]I'd throw Karlo in the mix, but yeah, we're zigging while the rest of the league is zagging and getting bigger, and I don't think it's going to work out like Griff hopes.[/quote]
It's also such a weird time to Zig. This is a crucial, crucial season for the pels and Griff is going to try an...
