By Moris Go To PostNoel is smaller than all those guys and less offensively gifted with the exception of MAYBE Deandre who is stupid athletic. I really like what he does on defense and if he had offensive threats on his squad he'd be a great compliment.I think this comes down to, who is the second big you put besides noel?
But if you can get the same production out of okafor but with a bigger body....
Lots of questions over there but at least both look talented
Asik out for two weeks. Right as he was beginning to look physically right again. /sigh This also means the team will be without four starters for two weeks.
6ers offered ATL Castillo, Ish and a first for Schroeder. Reports saying Philly gonna offer him a max this offseason.

Pelicans starting lineup
Norris Cole (still...)
Bryce Dejean-Jones
Dante Cunningham
Anthony Davis
Alexis Ajinca
59 might not be enough

By knux-future Go To Postoff meWelp. At least youll have simmons or ingram most likely
By reilo Go To PostPelicans starting lineupThey say they are keeping Jrue coming off the bench because their analytics department say he does better when playing for long stretches and the coaches would prefer he closed halves over opening them.
Norris Cole (still…)
His playing time has gone up to ~32 mpg recently. The team has said his minutes restrictions due to injury have been removed but that he starts losing effectiveness if he plays for longer than that.
Regardless, tonight the Pels will be playing only three guys that I know would make it into every NBA team's rotation. Cunningham and Jones would get play on some. Maybe Gee and Ajinca, too. That's about it.
By PSYCH! Go To Post59/20 thoI missed this game because Sunday morning/afternoon is tabletop gaming time with a group of friends. :v
Had to catch a replay of it later, but not seeing sports live kind of ruins it for me.
By Moris Go To Post6ers offered ATL Castillo, Ish and a first for Schroeder. Reports saying Philly gonna offer him a max this offseason.Saw someone put this into the trade machine: Stauskas alone makes too much salary for the trade to be legal. Atlanta would have to send some stuff back to make it work.
By knux-future Go To Postoff me
max Schroeder
Buddy Hield
max Barnes
Noel
Okafor
Good times

Hassan Whiteside told reporters: "Steph Curry, he's from North Carolina (too), so you know he's a little different."
...
Whiteside is also from NC as well. It was joke/compliment
Jason Lieser @JasonLieser 4h4 hours ago
Hassan Whiteside says Steph Curry is good because he's from North Carolina.
By pilonv1 Go To Postmax SchroederThis is our final form isn't it. All my trolling of Barnes at UNC is coming back to get me after all
Buddy Hield
max Barnes
Noel

If I'm ATL I think I'd rather Stauskas be taken out of the deal than to throw in filler lol.
By Moris Go To PostIf I'm ATL I think I'd rather Stauskas be taken out of the deal than to throw in filler lol.Completely agreed.
By PSYCH! Go To PostOkafor already dropping 30 point game like it's nothingDrop 30 and then let someone else drop 40 on him.
I'd max Schroeder without hesitation. But you know...
By pilonv1 Go To PostI might be biased.
By PSYCH! Go To Postmagic will take the lead and chokeThe Magic really need one of their dudes to become more than just solid players. It is where we are also heading..maybe.
book it
By knux-future Go To PostRed Blaster, how do you feel about Payton?
his lack of a jumper is something else
he's not playableif he's not busting his ass on defense--which he hasn't this season. his weaknesses put such a strain on his teammates that im p much done with him. brevin knight 2.0
brad jennings aint anything more than average and the offense looks much more fluid when he's on the floor.
Also, this lineup happened because they are probably the best available players: Jrue/Dante/Ryno/AD/Perk
By PSYCH! Go To PostTJ deadKid plays so hard man....
so of course he gets hurt and thus Kendall "Slow as fuck" Marshall time now
Shelvin Mack went from not being able to get off the bench to starting for another team in that trade
It sure would be nice to play a season at 80% full health sometime soon. Hasn't happened since before they even got Davis. They've also changed medical staff during that time, too.
Jones is playing with an injured wrist and it is killing his shooting. Don't know why he is even playing. Probably because then our injured lineup would have as many players as our healthy lineup.

If you’re wondering why Anthony Davis can’t touch the ball, notice how two Pelicans were wide open on the weakside and it didn’t matter
