re: Pelicans are not expected to offer BI extension this offseason, moving in new direction

On paper, Murray's production is very much in line with Brandon's, albeit from a different position. But that's a plus to me because now you get a long, scoring PG and also possibly free up a spot in the starting line up for Trey or at least give him more shots and minutes, depending on what other deals you make.

You have to clear the parts that dont work in order to develop your draft picks.

Many people (not you) on this board have turned their nose up at the mention of development minutes so that the board darlings, Naji and Jose can eat those minutes.

Now, when you need a movement shooter that takes a defender away in the Playoffs, he has racked up more than 30 DNP's and you look like an idiot.

BI, Jose, and Naji have to go.

And ill get the downvotes for Jose, but his ceiling is Jordan Hawkins floor.

Center / Back Up Center
Zion / Dyson
Trey / (Matt) or Back up Wing
Herb / Hawk
PG / CJ (if he is still around)

Should be the bones of the team you want to build around.

The parts I would love to add are obviously

J Allen at Center
Dejuonte Murray at PG

ANY development BIG at Back Up

The only way I see Jose should be on this team going forward is because CJ is not on the team. Either way he would still be in the 10-14 spot anyway.

Now downvote away (the board not you) because Jose or some shite
