re: Think we get new jerseys?

I was able to find a link referencing the choice of team colors. (Not to prove you wrong...but out of my own curiosity). [link=(https://dilemma-x.net/2012/11/30/nba-rebranding-name-and-colors-for-the-new-orleans-hornets-and-the-charlotte-bobcats/)]LINK[/link] [quote]Benson’s wife, Gayle, re...

[quote]Wasn’t the last rebranding/redesign largely headed up by Rita?[/quote] If I remember correctly, I think the current color scheme was chosen by Gayle. I would like to see a switch from the dark navy to the lighter City edition blue along with some tweaks to the side panels and trim. T...
Zion is supposed to have his signature shoe with Jordan Brand released sometime this year. Not sure where they're at with that process, but the dunk contest would be a great platform for him to introduce the inaugural shoe....

[quote]REPORT: The Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, and Denver Nuggets are all in a trading war to land Jrue Holiday.[/quote] These three teams have players that are VERY familiar with Jrue Holiday and what he's capable of. I'm sure it doesn't hurt to have the likes of KD, Steph, Murray, et...
Keeping my fingers crossed that this is just a really good photoshop. There has been info leaked that the City Edition design will be based off the city flag, so there is some smoke here. But from a design perspective, the blue stripe at the bottom seems to be SO low that when the jersey is tucked...

[quote]Said BI wants to be a more vocal leader.[/quote] Excuse my ignorance, but what is it specifically that prevents Ingram from doing so? I feel like this isn't the first time I've seen this quote. Is it simply that he felt it wasn't his place because he was new to the team...or that he felt...
Heard on NBA Radio this morning that Kenny Smith may be getting a look for the Kings GM position and IF that happens, there's a possibility he brings in Mark Jackson as his head coach. ...I can't think of a more promising position than to be drafting one spot behind this duo. ...

[quote]Per the Stepien rule, you can’t send out two consecutive picks and the way Griff structured the deal ties up the Lakers’ picks for 7 years while giving us some leeway on when the picks conveys [/quote] I would love to see 30 for 30 of exactly how these negotiations went down. ...

re: In other news... uniforms

Posted by deucedwo on 6/13/19 at 8:27 pm
Not too long ago the official Pelicans twitter account put out a poll asking fans to rank their favorite uniforms from this past year. I believe it was the earned, reds, whites, and navy sets. If I remember correctly, it wasn’t long after Griffin and company were brought in. I’m hoping that it was ...
Let me preface this by saying I understand Giannis's and AD's skill sets are not completely parallel. I also understand that building a team around trying to stop or counter 1 specific player is not ideal. BUT, I'm also hoping to gain any and all leverage possible should we follow through on tra...

re: Griffin to try to keep AD

Posted by deucedwo on 4/17/19 at 3:17 pm
New hypothetical.... AD decides to stay and the Pelicans land the #1 pick. Do you? A.) Draft Zion B.) Trade down to #2 and draft Ja C.) Trade it for All-Star caliber player and filler D.) Other ETA: Dumb question is dumb. Forgive me. Still drunk off the Griffin presser. ...
Listening to The Starting Lineup this morning on Sirius XM, host Frank Isola, who's covered the Knicks for 20+ years, stated that there would be a "riot in the streets" from Knicks fans if they land Zion Williamson and trade him away for Anthony Davis. This followed a brief discussion about NY land...
[quote]The funny thing here is you have generated Pels interest from non Pels fans because of the screw Los Angeles angle. By putting in the team effort you’re talking about, they’re creating fans of the organization, not just the team. Hopefully this really is an inflection point for the team and t...
I just tore my ACL and both meniscus in March playing basketball (age 35). I had the surgery a month later. I opted for the allograft. My doctor informed me that there was less than a 1% chance of rejection when choosing this option. The advantages are that recovery is quicker and less painf...
