re: Windhorst says Philly is monitoring the Brandon Ingram situation
Posted by shel311 on 5/4/24 at 10:52 am
[quote]If off ball CJ and PG BI take 12 3s a game, I don’t think it’s that hard to get PG Murray and off ball BI to take 12. CJ attempted 8.4 a game and Dejountr attempted 7.1.[/quote]True but I'd assume if we're adding Murray, it's for BI and not CJ.
If CJ is the main salary match for Murray, th...

[quote]Are you saying Trey and Hawk can’t shoot? I get that there is a drop off, but it’s not a huge enough drop enough to not make a move when you consider D and pay. CJ is a great team guy, but he is definitely replaceable as a player[/quote]If we move CJ and don't add another volume shooter who c...

[quote]The one thing that was conclusively demonstrated this season was that Borrego's plan to run the offense through BI was a terrible idea[/quote]Fwiw, that was not Borrego's plan
We went through camp, preseason and opened the season with a different offense. BI didn't like it, so Willie chang...

re: The non tax payer MLE this year is $12.89 million.

[quote]pretty sure we don’t need the MLE to resign JV.[/quote]That's my understanding as well
We have his bird rights, we can just sign him and it counts towards the team's total salary amount but not any of the exceptions, so we'd still have the $13mil MLE to sign a free agent. ...

re: KOC: League sources "expect" Pelicans to be aggressive in trade market
Posted by shel311 on 5/2/24 at 4:39 pm
What's wild is that given his size, physicality, & athleticism Zion should be arguably the best combo of screen setter and roll man/finisher off of rolls in the entire NBA
And yet somehow Zion is awful at setting screens and equally shitty as a roll man.
That is simply attention to detail, eff...

[quote]A ball handler is easier to get than an athletic big[/quote]It may be easier to get but the big is much easier to incorporate into the team.
Get a big, and they very easily slot into the 5, either starter or backup depending on quality.
The ball handler is much more tricky. Even if t...

[/quote]Nah, people are acting like being a luxury tax team is required to make you a contender, which is so.
Another thing that is so, we are 1 of 2 teams in the NBA that have never paid the tax....

Posted by shel311 on 5/2/24 at 2:06 pm
[quote]I’d offer him 4 years $80 million. That honestly a fair contract for his first deal. $20 million per year is a win-win for both player and team for where he’s at as a player.
[/quote]Not at all a win for Trey, considering what he can get in RFA after next season.
If we offer that, he just...

OP claims he's a "future star." If OP sees that he's a "future star", surely Dallas also sees that he's a "future star."
Dallas isn't going to trade us a "future star" without getting a haul back, so by OP's logic, we'll need to pay up.
