It's not that the team is choosing Zion over Ingram, that's not even a decision. The Pelicans are choosing Trey Murphy over Ingram, and it's absolutely the right choice. ...

[quote]Also, looking at the tweets from that NBATradeReport that tweeted about the Wizards being interested in BI, that account tweets a lot of "rumors" that no one else has ever reported on, so seems like we shouldn't put any stock into it, other than just discussing options for fun.[/quote] The...
[quote] CJ might be worse defensively than Trae. They can’t play together. It would be fine in the regular season but playoff time they would get destroyed.[/quote] If Poole and Curry can play together successfully in the playoffs, it can be done....
[quote]Let's just say you trade BI to Atlanta for Trae/Capella or Ogonkwu... Is trading CJ + Parts + Picks a must at that point to balance the roster?[/quote] That depends entirely on Gayle Benson and CJ McCollum. CJ off the bench would be a great luxury if he is ok with it. But that is only h...

[quote]Is there any path to a trade with the Wizards? Would they even be remotely interested in a guy like BI? I doubt they would move 2. Is Tyus Jones still under contract? Do they want to dump a contract like Kuzma? If Kuzma is considered a negative asset, could we give BI, (young player?), 21,...

[quote]We know this draft is not good. We should have traded BI last summer for a top pick in last years draft. The disconnect is that you’re way overvaluing BI. It’s a huge risk for a team to take a guy with one year on his contract who wants a max contract. Especially when that guy has proven he d...
[quote]on a super low deal [/quote] WTF? 35 million isn't super low for a 1 time all star. The idea that Ingram should get more than what Mikal Bridges and Dejounte Murray extended for is simply ludicrous....
[quote]Is there a realistic number that you’d guys wouldn’t mind keeping him on?[/quote] The 4 year, 114 million dollar extension that Dejounte Murray signed is the ceiling for me. It is clear we can get a comparable player who is a better fit for that price, so that would be my red line....

I'm not convinced that Trae Young or Walker Kessler trades would be entertained by their respective teams, but I would trade just about anything to put them around Zion, Herb, and Trey. I'd also love to keep at least 3 of Dyson, Hawk, CJ and Jose on that team, but none would be deal breakers. ...
[quote]That means he spends his effort probing the paint[/quote] I agree with you about the lack of a point guard and CJ's limitations. I agree with you regarding Willie's WTF offense. But, Ingram spends literally zero effort probing the paint. And while he makes some nice passes to cutters, he f...

[quote]How much of some players not developing is due to other players coming up and completely supplanting them? We had plans for several players that were derailed by guys like Herb stepping up and showing themselves worthy of playing time. [/quote] That's true about Herb. But, the whole pro...

Any 2 fatties from the Pelicans dance team could have played better than CJ and Ingram in this series. If they made 6.7 million combined instead of 67 million combined, they would still be awful value in this series ...
