In terms of any difference it'll make for the team? Nothing.
You mean other than having a backup point guard now?
Poor Jummer. Dude is in a fight for survival, meanwhile the Pels are getting all kind of crazy.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.

What a ray of sunshine.
He's better, but it's not hard to get better than Jimmer and Toney Douglas.
Just saying. Teams with much more talent than us brought in much more talent than us. Again. You can give me all this 'plan' crap, but we've been planning. Norris Cole is better than what we have, true, but that isn't saying much. I'm not saying it could've been different and I'm fine with standing pat for now I suppose, but if you are asking what any of this means the answer is nothing.
Norris Cole can play Defense... What about the other players? Williams and Smith???
Williams is being bought out. Doubt Smith even plays.
Jimmer has to be gone unless we are buying someone out?
Buying out Williams
Contributor
I'd rather keep Williams over anyone else tbh.
Contributor
What exactly do you expect us to have done? We did better than staying put which is what we have been rumored to have done. Cole is going to get minutes here think it was a good get for pretty much nothing.
As per hoopshype: Shawne Williams
Very good size for the small forward spot... Decent all-around skills... Ballhandling skills need improvement... Has become quite a three-point threat... Has a lot of baggage.
Salmons for Williams and buyought for Williams?
And Cole to PHX?
What a piece of *** of trade deadline
who's on first?
Now hoopshype reporting we are getting Justin Hamilton.
Where are you getting Cole to Phoenix?
Cole is ok, that's it. I'm not saying that we coulda shoulda woulda done more. I'm just saying these moves don't really mean anything for the team, which is what was asked. Other teams that were also already better than us got even better. Not sure what the problem with these comments are...?
If you think Norris Cole means anything significant for this team, I disagree. Williams is being bought out. Smith likely won't play. Hamilton likely won't play. Not really any significant change for the team and other teams did get better. That's the facts of life. Not to mention, Cole hasn't been much better than Rivers or Jimmer this year, though I do agree he's an upgrade.

Stop with the cole to phx stuff it's been confirmed he's coming here.
I'm told that Norris Cole and Justin Hamilton are both heading to the Pelicans as part of the large trade with Miami and Phoenix.

It means we are trying to make the playoffs. If we weren't trying wr do nothing. We could have just signed Toney Douglas for a min contract for the rest of the season. It's not an improvement like OKC but we aren't just packing it in.

Pretty sure it is Cole and Hamilton coming (not sure about Smith), with only Salmons leaving. From an energy standpoint, I love the trio of Dante, Quincy and Cole. Those three guys can do most of the dirty work in whatever role. I like the move.
You and I have different interpretations of the moves. I am not opposed to them, but I don't think they sway things in any particular direction other than some increased value and more flexibility in the future.
IMO
We now have a better bench than OKC, even after the trades.
