re: Pelicans will introduce new EVP David Griffin on Wednesday @12:45 CT
Posted by Ryan5231 on 4/17/19 at 2:45 pm
1. Jrue was first player he mentioned.
2. Best thing for the franchise is for AD to stay long term. Everyone will get over it when he puts up a 40-20, and he says the issue wasn't the city, it was the season they were having + not trusting Dell Demps to build the right team around him.

re: Morant or Tatum
Posted by Ryan5231 on 4/14/19 at 9:07 pm
Morant is getting too overhyped. Kris Dunn was once hyped. So was Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball. It's tough to predict these things. Tatum's far likelier to get into star territory, but no question he's regressed.

re: Per Duncan: Pels have began interviews this morning; list confirmed
Posted by Ryan5231 on 4/4/19 at 1:19 pm
I don't know much about Langdon's background, but one thing that the new gm must have experience with is trade negotiation. This AD trade is too important to entrust to someone with no experience on that front. ...
re: How do we get Zion?
Posted by Ryan5231 on 3/18/19 at 11:55 pm
I wouldn't assume the Lakers trade us the top pick if they land at #1. I think there's a chance that could actually wind up hurting us. From their perspective, they just need to wait 12 months and they can pair Zion and AD w/LeBron without having to give up anything. This gives them a present + fu...
re: 18-19 Tank Watch - 3 Way Tie for 7th
Posted by Ryan5231 on 3/14/19 at 8:17 pm
Not sure if this is what you're asking about, but each number in the cell is the % chance that team gets that selection.
So for each team, if you add up all their percentages for each slot they can land at, it should equal 100%. Therefore, the chances of getting top 4 is just adding their chance...
re: Bill Simmons insinuates Gayle is a clueless gold-digger
Posted by Ryan5231 on 2/18/19 at 2:37 pm
Simmons isn't a true NBA analyst. He's someone who people like to hear talk about basketball because he likes to come up with theories on things.
He's not going to know the ins and outs of every team. In this case, most of New Orleans knows that Rita owning the Saints & Pelicans was our worst...
re: Shams/Woj Tweets on Lakers offer
Posted by Ryan5231 on 2/2/19 at 6:29 pm
Based on your take, I think you need to learn reading comprehension. We're discussing someone of Barrett's prospect ranking, we're not talking about all prospects.

re: Shams/Woj Tweets on Lakers offer
Posted by Ryan5231 on 2/2/19 at 6:10 pm
Tatum is definitely a better piece than Barrett. You know Tatum can flat out ball at the NBA level and is more likely than not to register multiple All-Star appearances. There's nothing in the Barrett game that would have you believe he can ball at the NBA level - I mean that just from the stand...
re: AD for Knox, Frank, Kanter and the picks (unprotected)
Posted by Ryan5231 on 2/1/19 at 7:53 pm
1. I'm not disagreeing with pushing Boston to commit. That's definite.
2. The Knicks would be idiots to not do a deal whether it's now, later, or a year from now. We're taking their 'last place in the entire NBA' assets in exchange for a hall of famer.
3. Even in a world where the Knic...

re: AD for Knox, Frank, Kanter and the picks (unprotected)
Posted by Ryan5231 on 2/1/19 at 7:28 pm
Why in the world would you entertain the idea of giving AD to Knicks now and automatically moving down 3 spots in the draft?
The Knicks offer pivots around whoever the Pelicans have as the best player in the draft. Without that, the offer is garbage. There's literally nothing in the Knicks of...

re: Latest Updates
Posted by Ryan5231 on 1/31/19 at 2:34 pm
I've read long before any of this that AD and Kyrie are friends and would like to play together.
So the thinking in some circles is that Celtics need to make a trade for AD in order to lock in Kyrie staying. ...
re: Mirotic and Randle scrub social media Pels references....
Posted by Ryan5231 on 1/30/19 at 6:36 pm
frick the ticket reps. They'll make up whatever sales they lost in 1.5 years by building a team correctly. It's literally the same thinking as before, which didn't work, but now they think it'll magically work with a lesser star than AD.
This isn't difficult. It's straight-forward. Here'...
re: Mirotic and Randle scrub social media Pels references....
Posted by Ryan5231 on 1/30/19 at 6:10 pm
New Orleans is a poor city and the only way to get people to the games is via winning. That's it. There's no marketing that's going to save this team. There's no all-star reserve with a name that's going to save this team. It's going to come down to straight winning games. Lose for a year and ...

Posted by Ryan5231 on 1/30/19 at 6:01 pm
Blake Griffin to the Pelicans completely kills this team. That's one of the most handcuffing salaries in the NBA. Under no circumstances should there even be consideration of this. ...
re: ESPN talking about us “taking what we can get” for AD during play by play
Posted by Ryan5231 on 12/13/18 at 10:59 pm
The NBA wants AD on a super team. They don't care what market it's in. The Pelicans need to figure out a way to get a star player here or AD is gone. ...

I'm not sure Boogie fits that description; no one wanted him. In KD's case, he could have gone anywhere he wanted.

re: Boogie turned down 2/$40 mil-NYT

Either way, we got saved. His market value was 5-10 million and we were about to pay 40mil for at most a year and a half.
