Pelicans trade Pierre Jackson for Russ Smith

[groundpatty]

Rivers/Roberts replacement

This. If Roberts walks and Rivers gets traded for Asik cap hit, then there is a role for him. And way more of a Monty guy if I had to guess.

I wonder what happens with Patrick Young idea now? We can still use him.

[Vinny6420]

Ryno and that first for Asik and a S&T Parsons

[Eman5805]

Guru, you disappoint me a bit. You telling me you haven't paid attention to Louisiville's runs in the tourney for like...3 years? Peyton Siva would come to the bench and this dude named Smith would come out and make plays.

Could be an interesting player for us. I worry that he's not really 6'1" though...

[Kibner]

I know that. But we still need to dump a guaranteed contract. It was assumed we'd get draft compensation in exchange. So if we're trading Rivers or Ryno, did someone pick for us and nobody knows about it yet?

It's also a non-guaranteed contract that we can include in a trade. It was just exchanging Pierre for someone we like better.

[UNO Gracias]

Russ Smith needs a guy like... Gerald Green. It would just be fun to watch.

[DirtySouf]

would of rather kept Pierre.

This guy is actually better on both ends...

[Tpstr]

Reminds me of Bo McCalebb

Our transition game would be on point, that much is clear.

But what makes you think Gerald Green is even available? Trying to spread calamity? Reek havoc? Sow discord?

Oh, just throwing around an idea is all.

[GeauxSaints53]

Not crazy about him but he's certainly talented and I like his aggressiveness. Not sure if I'd like him as a PG but we can always use a slasher off the bench with Ryno (pending Gordon trade). Some of the TOs in that scouting video were...uh...Russdiculous.

[Eman5805]

Fuqan Edwin might go undrafted? I know little, but I hope we bring him in to Summer League.

I see what you did there... LOL

[kth225]

I wonder if Dell working for the 76ers

[jsl05]

I would love to see us pick up Patric Young undrafted. Getting him and Russ would be great. 2 players who are winners and are "over themselves"

[Eman5805]

Patric Young went undrafted too. I'd...Oh. Beat me to it.

[UNO Gracias]

There is a lot of talent still left out there, and we need bigs. Young, the center from ASU, the kid from New Mexico.

[aas3452]

I waited all night for this trade? smh

[TBlaze]

Patric Young could be the 6th big on the squad that the team needs.

Kinda in that Haslem mode just without the jump shot. A little undersized for a C, but he's just a banger down low. Real solid, really strong, rebounding and defensive presence that could play some meaningful minutes behind AD and Ryno.

[nolaslim213]

He is Patrick Beverly with offensive skills. I like the move a lot.

[PelsFan2313]

That would be quite a steal.

[TPDG22]

Seems like a Monty pick. Defense over offense.

Much better offense though. Needs to put on 10-12 pds to have the defensive impact of Beverley in NBA
