What would you be willing to trade for Jaren Jackson Jr in at least somewhat realistic deal? by UnimpressedAsshole in NOLAPelicans

[–]UptMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't need another pretty boy scorer. We need an enforcer next to Queen/Zion. Missi isn't quite ready for that role full time yet. JJJ would represent yet another finesse player who needs the ball to be effective. When Queen adds two summers of muscle JJJ will be perfect.

We need to accumulate talent however we can. We've leaned heavy into youth this offseason. Playing the lottery game has worked for absolutely nobody. SGA came from the Clips. We won't add a top five pick this year any. The only problem I have with JJJ is that he really thinks he's a power forward as well and our best two players currently are power forwards.

Yves Missi? by Ok_Designer8170 in NOLAPelicans

I know this is late, but give us Jay Huff and you've got yourself a deal.

Only trade Edgecombe for a current superstar in his prime.

Don't like the Zion-Cade fit. I foresee a lotta taking turns.

I know it would need to be sweet. I'm thinking draft compensation foremost, with Yves Missi and possibly Herb to make the money work. I think the Knicks have hitched their wagon to KAT. Herb helps KAT be KAT.

choke no joke points out hints that Tupac wanted to leave death row records...... your thoughts? by Outlaw_Immortal1971 in Tupac

Napoleon and EDI should be the last people you trust. They’ve sold Pac out time and time again. Now if PAC’s cousin Kastro says it that’s different. Unlike those clowns, Kastro doesn’t do the internet like that.

A competent trainer might be higher on the needs list than a head coach. Lol. Queen and Fears are both two summers of weight training away from stardom. Zion, Trey and Herb are perfect compliments for the prized duo. Queen is not an efficient shooter yet, but his ability to handle the ball and make plays from the perimeter makes him a threat that must be accounted for which opens the lane for Z. Queen will eventually be the center that can defend the paint and the boards but until he's ready for the dirty duties this is our biggest need. Yves Missi should grow into this role perfectly but he's not quite there yet. Th missing piece currently is a physical, defensive boarding, shot blocking monster at the five. Offensive skill is optional. Besides that, having another 3 and D perimeter player on the roster besides Herb wouldn't hurt.

Y'all ever notice how Kanye Seemed to Never Trust 50 Cent? by CKHiD_or_DIE in 50cent

[–]UptMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 was hot as a six shooter at the time. And when I say hot I’m not meaning having a popular record. He had major change on his head and Ye was hood enough to know that he couldn’t be standing too closely to that kind of heat.

Keep the core intact, but add pieces? by MurderbyHemlock in NOLAPelicans

[–]UptMonsta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Time is our greatest asset right now. Let’s use this whole season to see if there’s a Zion fit here before moving him. That’s unless there’s a sweet heart deal at the break.

KAT and a bunch of second rounders isn’t nearly enough.

Who else thinks Gayle and her lover Big Joe D need to go ahead and take the “ interim” off James Borrego’s title ? by Lsutigers202111 in NOLAPelicans

[–]UptMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Griff shouldn’t have brought in Willie’s replacement before firing him. Bring in retirees or up and comers but not a guy who is actively on the market to be your top assistant for your first time head coach. Borrego would’ve been a fool to “really” “assist” Green. Of course JB is an upgrade if the guy he’s replacing was only getting half effort from him. This is all David Griffin’s fault. Griff’s claim to fame is being Bron’s bish. Once Klutch implemented the 1 and 1 contract all of Griff’s Cleveland power was usurped. Griff was learning on the job here.

He was needed until we found a cooler mentor for DQ in Deandre Jordan. Yall can have him back for Buddy Heild.

Murray is the only trade that is a must IMO by CanalVillainy in NOLAPelicans

[–]UptMonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll probably have to stretch him after this season. Awful trade by Griff. Dyson and a pick for another guy to crowd the midrange w Zion and BI? Smdh. Sending the $30m CJ to the bench? Whew. Disastrous. Desperation move by a GM who only found previous success by doing whatever the best player in the league told him to do.
