It was a fantastic column, and I agree with 99% of it. I tried to ask him why he thinks that teams will have so much success playing small ball against us, but I [link=(https://twitter.com/MasonGinsberg/status/354677437742845953)]couldn't really get an answer out of him[/link], unfortunately....

re: check in if you hate the trade

I'll take 22 year old Jrue over 22 year old Conley without question, but that wasn't what was presented. I disagree that, at this moment, Jrue is the 2nd best PG in the Southwest Division. I think Conley is better. He's also 3 years older, though....

[quote]He comes in and is instantly the second best point guard in the SW division and Tony Parker is getting older. [/quote] Um, Mike Conley? Age makes it a closer debate, but Conley is the better player right now....
A lot of us are on the patio. Have the sound on out here....
[quote]He'll be at Manning's or Tracey's.[/quote] Doubt he'll be at Tracey's. If our site has a party and the team has one too, it'd probably look bad for them to go to ours instead of the team sponsored one....
[quote]are we expecting a big crowd? don't want to get there too late if it's gonna get packed[/quote] Honestly have no idea. I know Matt Moscona has pumped it a couple times on his radio show, especially since he'll be there too. We've never done a party in BR before, so this will be a good way ...

[quote]quote: Burke’s character appears to be a huge deciding factor, and perhaps the tiebreaker between he and McLemore, while the need for stability in the team’s back court gives Burke the nod over Len. I believe Mcollum would be the choice if this was a factor. [/quote] Character involv...
I'm leaving NOLA at 4 PM and going on 104.5 FM w/ Moscona at Plucker's from like 5:30 til 6. Looking forward to meeting everyone....

re: Brandon Jennings being shopped

Posted by GeauxHornets on 6/27/13 at 1:43 pm
I've been told that the Pelicans have legitimate interest in Jennings, but the inverse is what's in question. I don't hate Jennings, but I'm 90% sure that whatever he ends up getting will be an overpayment, which is why I would shy away from him....
No surprise there. I'm sure the Pels would either flip him again quickly or buy him out, more likely the latter option....

re: 10 Centers could go in the 1st.

[quote]on a non-guaranteed deal for the next two seasons[/quote] His deal becomes fully guaranteed in about 2 weeks (July 5th), so if the Pelicans are hoping to use that contract detail to their advantage, they'd need to move him soon. Agree with the notion that he has value regardless, though....
12. OKC - CJ McCollum McCollum going to OKC would be scary. Not totally sold on him yet, but I can't imagine a better environment for him to grow than learning from KD and Westbrook....

[quote]Anyone can take the negative stance just because they don't like the guy, and that is well-within their rights.
