    well now that he's signed with us again... hopefully he and Boogie & AD will work together a lot in the facility over the rest of the summer and get the kinks worked out

    I hope the draft pick can start at the SG. Then the starting five will be set.

    In terms of guards he isn't top 15 (for sure), but he is a top 15 pg, and 7-10 ranked sg.

    Still doesn't make him worth what we paid though.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    Between this July and next, the contract he just singed will not be top 10. So how is he paid like one?

    You think after Asik, Hill, Evans, and Moore... You think Dell would stop overpaying for potential and try to pay a player what they are worth. Paying a non-elite player with an elite contract. Hoping he will turn elite. It's supposed to be the other way around. $25 million a year is too much after the horrendous 4 years here at his bargain contract.

    One point that was made clear that we heard about early on that I forgot about until it was pointed out was Dell didn't want to pay Jrue more than AD.

    With this deal he did not get more. That seems like it was always the limit for Jrue that Dell stuck to.

    Who else was going to give Jrue 5 at 25 mil?

    This is a horrible deal. A player better then him just got 3 at 19.

    We continually put ourselves in situations like this because Demps is straight trash unless he is scrapping the gutters for marginal talent or something falls into his lap.

    Just ask yourself would another team have paid him that much? I don't think so.

    Even if another team would offer him that, it doesn't mean the Pelicans had to.

    good post, and good point.

    Demps will be gone after next season and whoever replaces him will be stuck with his bad contracts.

    I can't shake the feeling that this contract is going to be a disaster. This is a player with a significant injury history who didn't show he was a good fit for an AD-Cousins front line. When I see Teague get 3 at 19 mil, I say that's the deal we should have offered Jrue. That would have been reasonable. As for options beyond Jrue, here's one: do nothing. Wait. See how the market shakes out and be content to pick up a Collison. Make a trade later. Just be freakin patient and at least make Holiday show what the market is for him. Instead it's another Asik another Gordon, another deal that ties the franchises hands for years to come and quite possibly ends the last chance we had to build a contender with Davis.

    I do think his signing back here could have meant more from this aspect. If Jrue had left despite being offered this contract it could have been a red flag to all free agents the team may try to acquire. "If he wouldn't have signed there for that money what does that say about that organization." I think the impact could have been more devastating. I'm not saying its not a lot of dough its just that sometimes in business you got to do stuff like this because the potential for future rewards. I mean if we get Jrue at the top of his game, we've got a very good two way player.

    Yawn. Wake me up when the regular season starts.

    If they are in their prime, then all we have is a big 2.

    Jrue at no point has proven he deserves to be in the elite category.

    We paid 25 million for a guy that I am not sure will get you much, if any more wins then Collison could have gotten you. I feel today like I did with Asik. We overpaid a guy(based on performance and the market) simply because our GM did such a poor job with talent and cap management that he felt he had no other viable alternative path to keep the team together. So you overpay and hope he out performs his overpayment in the future. But more then likely we just got our new: Gordon, Asik, Hill.

    Just look at the landscape. OKC lost Kevin Durant last July got nothing for him.
    A year later they get Paul George for damn near nothing.
    We don't have anything of value to offer but overpay for average players.
    Nobody wanted to play here? The Davis Cousins combo did nothing. Demps and Gentry claimed it would open up opportunities.
    Unfortunately the Pelicans just don't have the right GM and Head Coach in place. Again look at the other clubs swinging deals

    Love it. What's next? I would like to see Rondo brought in as a sixth man. Him and Jrue can play next to each other.

    It's not our fault the Pacers GM is incompetent. He misjudged the market for PG13 and got bent over by OKC.

    This isn't a bad contract nor is it based on potential. Otherwise the incentives wouldn't be in there. Why is Moore's contract bad?

    This board needs a serious infusion of folks that know what the hell they are talking about.
